Because things like this happen even on pro play.
It cant exist a perfect system to see which games the player was "soft inting" and not just being stomped hard.
Why "Soft Inting" is hardly punished

This is what I like to see. Your title is "here is why..." and you proceed to provide an explanation in your post. Good job.

...Well, no post is perfect.
0/16 in 3 games is not what i would call soft inting but when my blood in arms is out here 0/16 in a single game we're not even talking about soft anymore.
So a player from a Wildcard team back in 2014 getting stomped by major region teams is why we can't punish people for inting in Solo que? I'm just not really seeing the logic there.
Except 0/16/2 in 3 games is not any form of inting. You are allowed to have 3 bad games in a row.
If we have an afk on the fountain with a Ryze ADC, Ezreal Support, Teemo mid, and Ivern Top....... I may not int but I sure as hell wont be exhausting my mental fortitude to try my hardest when one person votes "no" to the surrender at 15 minutes.
Especially when 2 inhibs are already taken while it is 24 to 0 in kills. All while have not taken a single objective.
Pretty much. A challenger level player who is soft inting would probably still be playing better than me at my best.
Agreed.
The cause of the issue, IMO, is that "soft inting" has no definition for Riot/League. Same as "trolling." These are two phrases that have a definition to the person using them at the time, making it completely subjective.
There really isn't any soft inting - you're either intentionally feeding or not. It's still intentional if you're dying on purpose and trying to lose the game even if you're not running it down mid. It's better to think of it as "purposely trying to lose the game" rather than in terms of deaths.
What we have is the word "inting" being diluted because people use it interchangeably with plain ol' feeding. They're not the same.
you can also take this the other way around. if 0/16 in the highest of elos doesnt at least raise a flag for a manual review, the people who REALLY int can get away with it very easily. and in pro play 1 death can make the difference between victory ad defeat.
