So I just played against an Intentional Feeder...

...and to be honest, it really wasn't that fun at all. He was just giving my team kills everywhere and I just decided to ignore him after a while so I wouldn't get super fed. He essentially wasted my teams time by giving us a free win. His excuse was that one of his teammate banned his Yasuo and it was Normals and while the guy that banned his Yasuo was being toxic, that is not a good excuse to intentionally feed. So TL; DR: If you intentionally feed, you are not just ruining the game for your team but for the enemy team as well.

That's one thing that people don't really talk about. It isn't fun to face an intentional feeder. What's the fun in getting a bunch of free kills? Whats the fun in having a much higher winrate just because the enemy team was unfortunate?

I could never more find a better reason to rework Yasuo than this.

I mean, I get pretty pissed off when this happens to me. And as a Yasuo main of three years now, it has happened A LOT. A long time ago I used to be toxic about it and troll in champ select and just let timer run out slowly for dodge, all the meanwhile talking shit. I found a constructive and more positive way to vent my anger though, I highly recommend it. I found another champion that was hardly ever banned but still very powerful (in my case Ori) and devoted a large amount of time mastering it. Then go into the game, mute the toxic player who banned your champ, and carry their ass hard. Feels good man. (I didn't tell you this, but sometimes it's fun to blow off a little extra steam and say something harmless to them in the post game lobby like "get carried bro" kek)

I once played against an enemy team with an intentional feeder. It was an autofilled Janna who built crit and ran down midlane (where I was). I ignored her so I wouldn't get the kill gold, as that would be a dick move to do in a 5v4. After a while, she would begin auto attacking me, and I accidentally hit her with AoE while clearing wave, resulting in a kill.

But then, my jungler began taking notice, and started camping my lane killing Janna again and again for the whole of laning phase. I pinged him to back off and to get some objectives or snowball bot, but he kept on doing it.

Well, the enemy Jax farmed the whole jungle, and ended up getting two dragons (this was before elemental drakes). Meanwhile, my adc, support, and jungler were chasing after Janna in the jungle, who was worth about 21g at this point. The enemy team of 4 was sieging our t2 mid turret, while 3 of my team was at the enemy blue buff trying to take down Janna.

I lost that game.

I'll admit, if it was ranked I would be happy to have the free win, cuz lord knows I've given plenty of other teams free wins because of trolls on my team. But yeah, a normal is just for fun... a 6v4 isn't fun. It's just a free win, the match doesn't feel like a real match, there's no challenge, no sense of accomplishment from outplaying your opponent.

IMO both players are banworthy. If someone is toxic to me I try to remember not to respond other than to shut them down. Arguing with trolls don't work, they're either stubborn or want to get a rise out of you. It's best to just ignore them and remember to report.

I'm fine with facing a bunch of int feeders in ranked. Bring it on ;P

Although my rank would love it, it would indeed be boring.

I often have a feeder because I am a magnet for dumb fucks, but I also figured out the enemy is wasting ignite, flash, heals and ultis on a 30 gold player, often follow him all over the map. I, on the other hand, get delicious bounties. The enemy is often over-secure with their skills (Durr, 16/0, eh?!) and actually have less gold than me, because those fake-kills are just empty numbers while I have CS and "real" kills.

RIOT is doing okay-ish in that department, they just should be faster responding to feeding reports.

I ignore intfeeders in every Queue.

If it's ranked I ask if someone wants to take my lane and kill him over and over again, I'm not interested in getting fed through such means though.

Whenever there is an inter in my team i just ask the rest if they want to open mid. better to lose a game in 12 minutes than tryhard for 40 and lose anyway because of 4v5.

I just ignore them like you eventually did, what they want is attention and will leave/afk quickly if they dont get it
