"Intentional feeding" and you.

I've seen and heard a lot of debate over this report option.

I just want throw in my 2 cents, and maybe shed some light as to why you got reported for it. I'm not even going to mention someone trolling and actually intentionally feeding, but rather explain what justifies me tagging you with that in the report.

Top laners suspect #1

If you die super early in lane, then TP back in only to die again. Then continuously engage and die to your lane opponent who is stronger than you for the whole duration of laning phase...ending something like 0/5. You bet your ass I'm labeling that as intentional feeding.

why? Because surely you can't be that stupid, or lack that much game knowledge. If you gave up FB, okay it happens, but if you charge into your enemy everytime you get into lane only to die or get ganked, you are an idiot.

There is a huge friggin problem with people not understanding how to play conservatively. There is a time and a place to be aggro, TPing back in to die again isn't it. When your laning opponent is 3/0 to your 0/3 and double your cs, it isn't it.

It is intentional because you refused to practice basic game fundamentals.

I see your point I truly do but the issue is always hard because it's not really possible to know someones intent. Everyone has there own way of dealing with a feeder it's just about how Riot decides to handle the case.

You really doubt how terrible players can be... Or how early people can tower dive your ass.

I think you are vastly overestimating the knowledge people (particularly at low levels) have of the game. A lot of people don't bother learning about the game, and the optimal way of playing. They don't watch videos, or streams, or the lcs, or read articles, or seek out any outside resources to get better. Some people just think the game is about fighting the guy in front of you, and only learn through failing.

If this is happening at Gold or higher, yeah someone is probably intentionally feeding. But if you're playing in bronze, why are you expecting people to know better? There's a reason they are in bronze, and expecting them to have the same knowledge of the game as you isn't reasonable.

IF A person is intentionally feeding instead of being a (Jack-Ass about it) If possible you could get off you're lazy ass and go do something about it, 99% of players I meet argue about it being a team game but 4 other players on the team are flat out (Idiots) not directed towards anyone here but in my head this is what I think Real Life because they do nothing (Jungler does nothing) can't do anything because he didn't use his head when picking a champion what happens in (X) situation, or Mid lane just stays lane all game when playing an assassin etc, and no one understands if a person is just going to feed all game and dies 3 times in a row (Perhaps you should all just group as 5) and force a team fight when the enemy doesn't want it take control the game.

Like I understand Feeding vs Intentional Feeding, and (mathematics) wise + Counter wise there are reasons why a person will keep feeding and feeding until something is done to stop it (And if nothing is done about it) the entire team loses pretty simple right, so the sooner the better.

Not only this but the theory of (Playing Passively) and winning late game usually only applies (IF your team actually has a jungler) that can actually group fight or a group fight comp otherwise both of you get the exact same amount of (CS) and unless your an early game comp it doesn't matter excluding if the enemy doesn't know how to build.

To me It makes me (Rage In Real Life) when I hear the word (Play Safe) (Define Safe) Not even the fountain can save you at level 15 in DOTA 2 lol?
