NOT EVERYTHING = Intentional Feeding
YEah I am back, get ready to hate me more. But I am getting sick of this trend going on where -EVERYTHING- Is being labelled as intentional feeding. All so ONE person can feel good about themselves. Seems like its happeneing more and more where you see one player get caught out ina 3v1 AMBUSH, CCed for years, and Passed around like the town bicycle. And then, its not enough that the person has to feel stupid for being caught out and stunned down. But then they get to see this gem: "/all Report X for Intentional feed"
NO NO NO Not every death is due to intentional feed. Sometimes the player just made a mistake and cant pull back in time. Distracted by pings or didnt see them untill it was too late. sometimes the enemy team is better communicating or...the one thing NO ONE wants to admit exists... SOMETIMES A PERSON IS JUST OUTPLAYED
Not every death is because of Intentional feed.
If A player declares "im gonna feed X" then runs in and starts dancing infront of the enemy, or spamming laugh or something. Yeah, thats probably an intentional feed. But if you see someone immediately backtracking, trying to get away, throwing whatever abilities they can, Then HELP THEM. It means they are TRYING TO GET AWAY and NOT give the enemy team kills. They did Not "intentionally feed", but were likely buried under CC while you stood there and watched preparing the Lobby for the other team to report "/all Report for Intentional feed"
No one wants to learn the difference because they are too busy inflating thier own ego, everyone is using the report system as a WEAPON. Not to improve the game, but something they can beat thier team over the head with. Someone makes a mistake and gives an early kill? "Report for intentional feed" Someone doesnt play to the level YOU expect them to play at? "Report my trash team" Someone makes a suggestion or constructive criticism? "hey I dont think the plan will work because": Report them for TOXIC/Verbal abuse.
The report system is no longer being used as a tool to curb negative behavior, but as a Weapon, to be brandished against one's own team. To punish them Not for bad behavior, but for not playing at the level ONE player expects.
Its like the Diamond/Platinum smurf who goes into a Bronze match, then says "report my team" when people PLAY AT BRONZE LEVEL. But This smurf will look for ways to take a bad game and turn it into something someone can be banned for, Much like the ways suggested above. Player dies too much due to being outplayed by a better opponent? Report them for Intentional feed. Player says something you dont like...like makes a criticism on YOU? Report them for toxic/offensive language. Player gets beaten down, assaulted and degraded from not only thier own team but the enemy team as well? Just punish them for wanting to give up by reporting them. That will teach them for not sitting there and putting up with the constant barrage of verbal abuse for 45 minutes, With both teams tellling players how GARBAGE they are, or How the entire match is All thier fault.
Nah lets just report them for finally cracking under the pressure so we can get that "I'm better than you" contact high, That buzz knowing you are better than someone else because you told them just how completely garbage they are at the game.
My record is trash, my MMR is garbage. And you want to know why? Because I am one of those people who has gotten SO beaten down by these people, its easier for me to just buckle, to just give up and accept the match as a loss because my team wants to make sure that EVERY 5 Seconds, I know JUST how completely pathetic and trash I am. SO to try and prove them wrong, I overcompensate, I try and do more than I should just to stop the constant flood of "OMG THIS FEEDER, REPORT THE FEEDER" And then I make bigger mistakes. To which I get flamed, I get harrassed, the calls for reports on me (and people LIKE me) become louder. I stress, I tilt, I crumble...and yeah, I give up. Maybe Next game I can try again without having an entire team making sure that even the enemy team tells me how utter garbage I am and how I MUST be Intentionally feed.. Even when they 4v1 Me, chain me down in CC and my own team just stands and watches, then responds with "See? See that? He just stood there. Report him for intentionally feeding"
So yeah, Bring on the hate, I really dont care. Thats why I tell my teams, The easiest way to tilt me and lose the match is to badger me over EVERY LITTLE THING. Because I have been beaten over the head far too many times by people eager to get me on ANYTHING they can report me for, Any possible connection they can force. Reporting being outplayed as intentional feeding? Constructive criticism or a strategic observation (hey they are going for dragon) or (dont stand near that bush) as "verbal abuse" Whatever weapon they can find. The Report system is NOT a means of rehabilitating players or punishing those who intentionally destroy the game. it is used as a weapon, to beat unskilled players till they are "pro enough for ranked", To scare players into doing what you want under threat of report. and to stop people from providing critique or advice to help players improve....Because EVERYONE THINKS THEY ARE LCS WORLD CHAMPS. And they dont like the be told otherwise.
Bring on the Downvotes Not Every Death is intentional, Being outplayed EXISTS.
