PSA: Intentional Feeding Defined.

Trashlord Kayden··28 votes·2,222 views

intentionally feeding is someone saying "i'm gonna feed if you do this or don't do that." , "i don't want you to win so i'm gonna feed." "you didn't gank for me so i'm gonna feed." "you didn't help me or you didn't give me the buff i wanted so i'm gonna feed." going 1/6 bc you're having a bad game is not intentionally feeding. every game is not good for every one. learn the difference.

True but some players don't understand that players are having a bad game, enemy gets ahead and has an advantage and being bronze players just argue and accuse others of feeding, sometimes its best to feed the enemy turret no joke if there is no way out I will die under the enemy turret so the enemy doesn't get the kill of course if it was higher elo that really wouldn't be a thing anyways.

Kids don't own a dictionary or they have selective reading. Both ways Kids are dumb and reporting should not be there to train them in self righteous weakness.

I think DOTA 2 has like 2 reports a month. So if you wanted to use one they probably actually deserve it. Meanwhile in LOL it's normal to report people every single loss. Who at RIOT thought "Gee ya know kids today are getting pretty smart. Let's give them power to fuck with people and spam the words "REPORT this X" in all chat, all game, every game." ? Fire that guy please.

it's not just kids.

It's not just kids, but there are statistics pointing to a sudden increase in toxicity after 3 PM on weekdays. There is still some toxicity before that, but the frequency is pushed up when younger players get online.

Supreme Senpai691 votes

That's when people get off work too, to be fair. The 7-3 morning shifts. Usually when I play with kids they aren't toxic, but they're super bad at the game, which makes other people toxic lol.

Just had a game where my team trashed talk and reported me for bad plays. Feels terrible. I wasnt even the only one feeding but they decided to take in out on me :(

Trashlord Kayden1 votes

their reports won't do anything as long as you did nothing wrong. people have bad games. don't let randoms over the internet get you feeling down in the dumps, friend.

GrReaper962 votes

Really? Makes me feel better. Thnx bro [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

ya dude dont worry about it. You can actually on purpose intentionally feed and nothing will happen. As long as you don't type it can take years to be banned. But on that flip side you can do nothing wrong and play the best u can and get banned for typing.

So remember don't defend yourself verbally after a few team members rage at you for 30 min. That is not ok. Disco nunu for 2 years is ok

Might want to read the RIoter Comments in this thread before going off and presuming that...

I also consider doing the same thing over and over again intentional feeding. If you refuse to learn from your mistakes and die for the 8th time in the enemy jungle with no wards, you are intentionally feeding. You know you will die, it happened 8 times already so continuing to do it is asking to die.

I also consider picking a champion you have never played before and dying a bunch as intentional feeding. You picked a champion you didn't know how to use knowing you would probably lose, thats intentional feeding.

slippykitten3 votes

I disagree. Fundamentally, intentionally feeding is doing something intentionally that feeds the enemy team.

So if someone goes 0/3 and the jungler tells them to ward and play at turret to wait for a gank, and because they are on tilt, they just go "f**k you, blah blah blah" and then proceed to 1v1 the enemy 4 more times and dying. That is intentionally feeding the enemy.

Also, and I hate to burst your bubble, but most people that are trolling, throwing, or feeding are smart enough not to announce it in chat.

There is a big difference between feeding on purpose and having a bad game, but you can almost always tell if someone is trying or not, and half the kids that play this game go on tilt after one death and stop trying, which should be reportable.

Trashlord Kayden1 votes

going on tilt isn't intetionally feeding. tilt happens to everyone. you should be reportable.

Vistha Kai1 votes

Sorry, OP, but the guy is right.

When you die in lane and go like "fucking jungler, I'm done" - even without saying it in chat - then going back to lane and continue fighting for the sake of it, that's intentionally feeding.

Trashlord Kayden1 votes

if you're fighting, and actually TRYING, making smart plays and not just all inning like a dodo, that's not intentionally feeding,

Vistha Kai1 votes

Did you even read my comment?

Come back when you do. Then we can talk.

Trashlord Kayden1 votes

yes, i read your comment. maybe you're just not understanding what i'm saying. not gonna waste my time arguing with you, though. have a nice day.

xelaker1 votes

no. if someone goes 1/6 and is still trying to dual the 6/1 champ in their lane they are feeding. If someone engages the entire enemy in a 3v5 they are feeding. if someone goes 13/14 they are feeding damn it all play smart. [zombie-brand-facepalm]

"If i can't carry a game why should i even bother winning it?"Something a guy that was 0/3/0 told me.xD

Trashlord Kayden1 votes

the game i just got out of i did 31k dmg i was orianna mid, the adc kalista on my team did 15k, she said she was better than me bc she didn't die not once. while she stayed bot to farm while 4 of the enemy team were mid killing everything. i told her it was easy to not die if you don't do anything. gotta love those kinda people, huh?

Shroom Junkie1 votes

I feel like "intentional feeding" could also be defined as "wow you didn't ff" then they suddenly don't start trying, and give 0 fucks about dying. Even if they're not running into the enemy and dying, when they suddenly become 100% worse than they were before and die a lot more... then I consider it intentional feeding.

Supreme Senpai691 votes

Or that's them not feeling like playing. Morale is a very important part of the game. If you don't think you can win and you don't want to be in a game, you're not going to do as well. You should always give your best but that isn't intentional feeding.

Vistha Kai1 votes

I see the difference, but at the same time I won't believe that every game at least two people on my team are having a bad game.

Trashlord Kayden1 votes

why not? chances are that out of 10 people it's possible for more than 2 to have a bad game. this is logic.

Just had a chogath who said "I'll teleport in to give you the penta" Doing so lost us our ranked game and put me on a demotion game. It's intentional feeding because he literally pressed S and stood there while they killed him. He did this TWICE! but riot wont ban him no no because the automated scripts didn't do it.

Trashlord Kayden2 votes

honestly, if it was long enough into the game where death timers were extremely long and he was the only one up against all 5 of the enemy team, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold anyway. i can kinda understand giving the penta if you're guaranteed to lose anyway, but if you still had a chance of winning i'd definitely say it was intentional feeding.

It was only darius and nami up, they were on the other side of the map with supers pushing the nexus, he could have easily ended but ignoring that feeding the penta got 1 tower from them then they 5v4'ed us and he did it again when it was 2v1 and all he had to do was huddle by nexus and not die since there was no wave. He did it on purpose and could have easily saved the game or outright won it. He clearly intentionally made a declarative statement doing it on purpose but will not be punished. Riot's system is shit. It was 1 nexus tower and 1 inhib still up for them while we had lost 1 total tower before he did this.

Supreme Senpai691 votes

I've given pentas to people if they earned them. If our nexus is exposed and you killed four of my team, and you were nice and good all game, I'll give you the penta. It doesn't affect the outcome of the game.

That is not what happened. We had all but 1 tower up they had 1 inhib and 1 nexus tower. It determined the outcome of the game because he intentionally burned TP to stand there and give the penta. This will not be punished but it should be.
