What Constitutes Inting?

Me and my brother and a friend all jumped into a match tonight. Me and my brother had just gotten this brilliant idea after losing a match against a Miss Fortune/Lux team to test it out and see just how powerful it was.

...Well, we didn't do jack diddly squat because the opposing team countered us hard. We could hardly do squat, and we both wound up having no kills and a high death count.

Our jungler, a Yasuo, began ranting on how we were inting, and, without actually saying it, practically begged the other team to report us for it. Pretty sure only one of their team members would have done that, considering his salty "gg ez" comment at the end of the match.

So, someone wanna explain to me just what the blazes constitutes inting? I was under the impression inting was intentional feeding, not even trying to secure kills and such.

(As a fun fact, the Yasuo in question ALSO had no kills, and a ton of deaths. We all got outplayed; truly, the only one of us that did any good was our top lane.)

Inting is doing things to intentionally actively losing the game.

So intentional feeding would be one.

Messing with team mates to get them killed (Anivia wall to block running path on purpose, trundle pillar, Taliyah wall, eating allies and spitting under enemy tower as TK.)

Trying to take the first tier tower as the enemy begins to take your nexus towers. (debatable on this one.)

Intentional Feeding is Intentional Feeding. Either you're dieing to the enemy team on purpose or you aren't. There is no vagueness to the term, 90% of the player body are simply salty and use it wrong when they are losing.

as SONA said the player base thinks that any mistake or death you make in this game = inting and you need to be banned from playing

but thats not the case

if you legit were trying and didnt know what you were doing or legit play bad which seems like both happen here its what it is, but people think every one should be an LCS pro in every role on every champ and never die or play bad

intended valueless deaths with no objective in mind that would shift the gamestate significantly

doing massive amounts of damage to the enemy team like a singed, stalling, proxying, dying during a defense, dying getting a tower, dying to being too low to jungle monsters by accident, getting tricked into dying by teammates, tanking, and THE GAME LITERALLY BEING OVER AND DYING TO THE 12-2 CARRY MORE TIMES THAN YOUR TEAM THAT FED THEM RreEEeeEEE aren't really inting
