What I see inting as:

I'm an S4 hard stuck scrub so my opinion may not matter, but I'm honor 5 with honors nearly every game and havent gotten so much as a warning since ai started playing way back in S2.

So, what do I see as inting, and thus a reportable offense. Inting, or intentionally feeding is any action done with the intent to lower your teams chances of winning or to increase your enemies chance of winning.

A player who is behind and under fed will die. It's a fact in this meta. You fall behind even slightly and your kda will suck. That is not inting. Let me give two scenarios.

  1. Lucian is 0/5, staying under tower and doing his best to farm and not feed but the enemy jg is tower diving them. The lucian is not inting but trying to make the best of his position.

  2. lucian us 0/5 and goes top to farm. Pushes up to the enemy tower. He dies. He does it again. And again. And again. And he keeps dying and keeps going. This is inting because he isnt playing safe. He knows he will die and get nothing done and yet he keeps going. He is intentionally dying at this point.

Now this is where I want to bring up something that a lot of people may not agree with, and typically the people who dont agree with this are the same people it's about.

If you're doing something to tilt your team you are inting. You are making the active choice to make one of your team play worse rather than to help them. You are lowering your teams chances of winning. Spam pining them, insulting them, even spamming about how they are inting Is all you inting.

How does one not int? Well, just don't flame. Don't be toxic. If someone is inting then they want you to react so you doing anything of the above gives them what you want and makes you no better than them. Just face the reality of your situation. You flame, you get banned. You don't flame, you don't get banned. You don't flame but focus on winning or even improving yourself you'll be better off for it. If you lose the match, well, you'd be just as responsible for it

So, I do wanna point something out. Good splitpushers can make effective use of being not worth gold by constantly splitting and "Dying" but taking objectives. Essentially an "inting sion" strategy, but champions other than sion can make it work.

I'm a Jax main, and there have been games where I left lane as bad as 0-6, and just told my team "hold until late." My team would group as 4 and defend sieges, while I would go balls to the wall trying to get towers. In one game in particular, I was at one point 1-18; however, I had effectively taken 6 towers, granting my team gold and farming all the while. We actually succeeded in making the comeback and I finished with a quadra kill to seal it. While my teammates weren't happy I kept dying during the game, even the enemy team's urgot said what I was doing was the best possible way to keep the game alive. While I wouldn't always recommend this strategy, just be aware that Inting = trying to lose, not just dying a lot.

If every player followed this, the game would be enjoyable more often than not

And here I thought intentional feeding was, you know, intentional feeding. The key words being intentional, i.e. you're doing it on purpose, and feeding, i.e. you're giving kills to the opposing team.

Yeah, flaming's bad and it hurts your team's chances of winning. And intentional feeding is one of the worst things you can do in the game. But that doesn't mean you just go and throw all bad behavior under "intentional feeding" as a blanket term.

Flaming is flaming. Harassment is harassment. Intentional feeding is intentional feeding. Flaming is not intentional feeding.

And this thread illustrates why I'm glad this board doesn't make the game's rules.

League is better as a single player game

Sounds like youre taking griefing and just lumping it into "inting". Like that second to last paragraph. Thats griefing... also generally called trolling as well.
