What is your Definition of Intentional Feeding

Eleshmmy··2 votes·260 views

I was permanently banned for intentionally feeding. This was my first ever offense in the game, as I have never received any type of warning before. After looking through my match history, I see some games where intentional feeding could be construed (even though it wasn't) such as the 3 games I went 1/11 on different characters and the game I went 4/15 on Cait. But these games were strung out, and in them I certainly participated for my team. (We even won the game with my 4/15 Cait.) Anyway, I sent a reply back to Riot in hopes that they will relook at my case. I'll paste the reply below, but what I want to know is what is YOUR definition of intentional feeding?

Is there any way I can get a second opinion on this? I feel like many of the games you probably considered feeding (1/11 lux 1/11 shen 1/11 gangplank 1/12 darius and 4/15 cait) were games where I was not doing well. It was not my intention to feed, and although frustrated I did not purposefully try to put my team in a worse place. Even a 14 day suspension or a 3 month suspension would feel more fair than a permanent ban. If you decide not to take a second look at this then I respectfully accept that, but I would be remiss if I did not add that I will not be coming back to Riot at any point in the future if this account is permanently banned. Your leveling experience is daunting (read horrible) to say the least, and after all the real money I have put into this account, I do not have any inclination to put that much into another one. Once again I'd like to thank you for your time and hope we could come to some sort of resolution.

I don't believe you.

I've never seen anyone banned for intentional feeding, even after hundreds of matches.

Well then good for them, perhaps it will keep future league players from becoming permanently jaded like myself. Personally, for me, it's too late, I've wasted too much of my time on broken promises from Riot, but I hope they truly have reformed and are now punishing these types of trolls.

I can link you the e-mail i received but instead I will link the response of the Rioter Behavior specialist who replied to my situation.

Hey there Eleshmmy,

I am Agent X with the Player Behavior team. Your account was suspended due to a series of games in which we determined that intentional feeding was taking place. The spirit of the game is to play a fair match where all the players are playing the game fair and square with good sportsmanship. Unfortunately, intentionally feeding doesn't really count as a form of playing the game, and on top of that, the intent behind feeding is to purposely ruin the game for the others who are in it, which is not cool by our standards.

The suspension in this case may seem harsh to you, but those who play to ruin the experience for others should not be in a community that requires you to work together.

Took out the Rioter's name so that I won't be called out for calling people out.

Well, like I said, if true, then I don't see the problem. You are were punished fairly. Why don't you go post fat jokes on twitter or something.
