Why is being 0/2 considered feeding but 3/11 is perfectly fine?

Seriously, I just played a game as Aatrox where I had to lane a gainst Riven, who is pretty much top 3 in Aatrox counters. In lane phase I was only killed once, I played safe, farmed, and avoided giving the Riven a lead.

On the other side of the map, however, our Olaf "support" managed to die 11 times, but because he got 3 kills, everyone was ok and defended him saying things like "Aatrox why are you feeding? You don't even have a kill" and "Olaf has kills, he's actually helping".

I don't understand this logic. Sure, I didn't help my team much, but I also didn't feed Riven, only giving her one kill with my other death coming in the last team fight. How is that somehow worse than Olaf giving away 11 kills?

And then I remember that I'm in bronze and everyone plays the game like it's team deathmatch.

It isn't. Maybe it happened because of some weird bronze mentality like you said, maybe they are all queued together, who knows... but it's not considered like that. From what I've seen, even the team deathmatch guys would be on the Olaf. Just a bad game, dude. They happen, no big deal. I understand if you just needed to vent though.

4. Why is this poll even relevant 5. Also irrelevant: Aatrox

It was probably a pre-made group blaming the solo-player.

I wouldn't worry about it..

dying 11 times is infinitely worse than dying twice. Unless he had like 30 kills, which he did not.

11 deaths hurt a team more than 2 deaths. However, playing off-meta champions is not punishable. What may have been more of the issue is that people didn't agree with the Olaf pick and raging began to ensue across the team.

Further, a person's KDA alone is not grounds for punishment.

They are probably premade, don't worry about it.

My guess would be that the person claiming you are feeding was que'd with the Olaf and was trying to make you the bad guy and defend their friend. You did nothing wrong and in fact you did what a lot of people need to start doing...when people die once to their laner and they obtained an advantage over them (especially for snowballing champions) people need to start playing safe and just farm. I haven't played Aatrox top in a while, though I have played him a lot back then and Riven was a very annoying match up, and I think most of my wins against Rivens with Aatrox might of just been against bad Rivens...because I have gotten destroyed against one before as Aatrox. Though Aatrox could always just play aggressive and then life steal all his hp back after trading, which is why I think he can probably actually do ok against her.

I guess back on topic though, I wouldn't worry to much about it since they were most likely duo'd (I mean they would have to...what Adc would be ok with Olaf support unless it's their friend?).

I would kick the idiot who is saying "Aatrox why are you feeding? You don't even have a kill" and "Olaf has kills, he's actually helping". first, I hate people who bring up statistics and ignore anything that doesn't suit them. To them, all they see is 0/x. Doesn't matter how many times you have died, just that you got 0 kills so far. And for Olaf, they see 3/x. The fact that they think getting the last hit on the enemy champ is a gauge of usefulness shows how immature their understanding o the game is.

You should save your judgement till the post-game stats, that is, though not the best way, of measuring usefulness to the team.

The argument could be intent (i.e. you're a troll and he's a shit player). At least, that's actually how people in Bronze think.

They're trying to claim that you avoided AFK detection, and that he was an active participant who didn't understand his champion's limits. Regardless, they're wrong. Neither you nor Olaf was trolling. Both were playing to the best of your abilities.
