It means intentional feeding. Some community members get ridiculous and use it when people are doing badly.
you are correct. its just that 99% of the community never read the rules and thus think someone doing (really) bad is inting.
Technically, you can int with just 1 death. Multiple deaths are not required.
it means integer
It does mean intentionally feeding , it’s just that the word is used so much that people are saying it without knowIng it’s actual meaning when really they’re just not doing good that game. (Or maybe they rlly are inting )
Denotatively, it means to "intentionally feed".
Colloquially, it is used to mean "you fed a couple kills to your lane opponent(s), clearly that means you are trolling"
Int:
-
To legitimately troll a game by intentionally dying over and over, ruining the entire game for everyone involved except the person on the enemy team in their promos who is ranking up through pure skill.
-
Having a slightly subpar game, perhaps even a good one, while also failing to be on the friends list of the angry premade on your team.

It all comes down to the fact that our brain runs on pattern recognition, regardless of whether there is a pattern. As a result, when there's only limited information it simply assumes the "pattern" continues and extrapolates the data without a care in the world. Short and oversimplified version: If we witness strangers doing something we immediately assume they are doing it intentionally and regularly.
Somebody who states something that is factually incorrect automatically becomes a liar (or at least an idiot). Somebody who misses a turn signal becomes a reckless driver (or at least a bad one). And somebody who dies a couple of times in lane becomes an inter (or at least a noob).
It's simply the way our minds work. Frankly, it wouldn't be so horrible if most people weren't so oblivious to their own biases.
I have observed that it has two meanings. When used to describe someone else it means intentionally feeding. (Dying on purpose to troll your team and whatnot.) People however assume someone is dying intentionally after poor decisions.
If refuring to one's self it typically means they are playing poorly. Example. 'I am inting right now' typically means you died in a stupid way and you should have known better.
That's what it USED to mean, but of course, this is League. The word of a League player is worth infinitely less than fetid pig shit because everyone says everything about everything. Everything is cancer, aids, rape, overpowered, underpowered, etc. This is also why the report system is utter shite unless you happen to voice your thoughts about the Knee Grow.
Someone tried to claim weeks ago that I was intentionally feeding when they decided to throw a shit fit over something stupid (I think it was something related to what I was or wasn't building with Karma), even though I hadn't even died ONCE in that game.
To int is to intentionally feed.
When anyone on your team does anything whatsoever that you don't like, its inting. When an enemy runs it down mid, you clearly carried because you're the next faker.
...atleast according to how i see it used now
It means dying once and then watching the opponent snowball and stomp on your face
If someone says "I'm inting" after a bad play, it's more likely than not that they're just kinda making fun of themselves for a bad call.
But yes, at least 80% of the time when someone says that someone else is inting, they're just complaining because a teammate has died more than they would like... even if that number is ONE TIME. People do like to whine, don'tchaknow? Sometimes it's like it's a race to assign blame and give up the match with how easily people will call "int", "troll" or "gg" and then give up. You'll never prove they're wrong to them, either... because as it turns out they tend to LOSE a lot of those games that they gave up in... for some reason.
In short... because people are spoiled, stubborn, pathetic, self-absorbed, arrogant and above all really, REALLY stupid.
INTeresting btw haHAA
I think I can shed some light on this, you see there is hard inting and soft inting. Hard inting is what you're probably thinking of when ur just running it down lane and dying as fast as you can. Soft inting is when ur playing with ur brain turned off, and applying no thought or effort to what you're doing, so you're sloppy playing leads to the same result as hard inting, but in a less obvious or decisive manner.
"Inting" means "Intentionally feeding", that is the basic concept of the word.
However, the understanding of the word is various. Mainly in three ways:
-
Someone plays the lane bad and keeps on dying to the other laner, even though he/she completely acknowledges that they are doing bad, but still keep on doing it until they learn the lesson. Usually they will be in that state for about 2-4 deaths.
-
Someone who "runs down mid" and feed other laners for trolling/griefing purposes.
-
Someone who just consistently dying to the other laners (above 4 deaths continuously). This means that their teammates already pointed out their mistakes and some might flame them, but they just do not listen and give free kills to others.
My understanding of "inting" is like that so far.
When you're playing an initiating tank, the line between a game winning play and being accused of inting is a very thin one.
Inting is whenever anyone on your team dies, according to my teammates.
Lockin' this thread, as the thread is pretty old.

It means having a bad game. ;)))) oh Rito <3
By definition, it means something that happened, done, made, etc, intentionally. Like the opposite of an accident I guess.
Your theory is right, league has a tendency to overuse its own terminology. 1v9, feeding (9/1 but the only death on your team) etc
