The real meaning behind Feeding.

So, I don't have much time playing league games because of school, but wehn I do, I play Riven. The problem is : Wehn you ''feed'' (having a bad game) iam called a Idiot, low ball and i should sell my Skins... Most the time i don't really get botherd by that but if i see somebody having a bad game they are called stupid, dumb, and a ''bronze kid'' But as it stands :''Intentional Feeding'' = If you are like the Malphite in Dunkey's Video, right? So why the hell are you people saying to report him for feeding? Its just sad seeing people insult eachanother becuause they are Anonymous, atleast iam honoring people who diden't flame, if they feed and keep on trying their best iam also honoring them. So please get some respect and get stop insulting...

What do you guys think of the The interaction with people in games like LoL or so on, and how would you stop this?

I would give People only the rights to talk in Chat (or upcomming Voice chat) wehn they have atleast 50 honors for being friendly and they have to be lvl 30.

Stop playing champs that have a toxic gameplay style or are preferred by little kids. When I play Soraka no one ever cusses me out ever.

Truth is no one in Bronze should be playing Riven no matter what Riot says or what anyone on here says. You simply don't have the mechanical ability to play that champ in Bronze. If you don't snowball on Riven you need to play perfectly, that means every time you take a hop you need to land an auto attack inbetween hops, and a bunch of other mechanically difficult things to pull off in a teamfight.

Sadly there are some people out there who like to misinterpret having a bad game as intentionally feeding. Just report these people and they will (hopefully) eventually learn that being a jerk to others is not acceptable here. Your suggestion would ultimately solve nothing as not only would it hinder communication drastically but it would also just encourage the trolls to just troll and be jerks via gameplay instead of chat. Also, since you brought up Dunkey, here is the official response to it by Lyte (back when he still worked at Riot):

What do you think about vgdunkey's ban?

It's really unfortunate. Many Rioters love Dunkey's content, and I've unloaded my share of "Not even close babyyyyy" jokes around the office; however, we really can't show favoritism to someone just because they are a pro or a known content creator. This isn't really a debate about whether trashtalking is OK or not OK in games; we've talked a lot in the past about how we're OK with players bantering with their friends but you should be careful when interacting with strangers who may not understand your intentions--especially if you're using hate speech or slurs. We have a zero tolerance policy against hate speech, racism, homophobia, and sexism and that policy stands whether you're a random player, a pro player, or a Youtube celebrity.

This also really wasn't a case about intentional feeders and whether it's OK to be toxic towards other toxic players--there wasn't even a Malphite in the game that got him banned and either way, retaliation just isn't OK because it makes the experience worse for everyone else in the game.

We know that players have been asking us to be more aggressive against intentional feeders for awhile, and it has taken us a bit longer than we'd like. We do consider gameplay toxicity just as serious as verbal toxicity, and are launching a new Intentional Feeder Detection system in 5.18 that can ban feeders within 15 minutes of matches. We're starting with conservative settings to make sure the system would not ban players for having the rare bad game, even if it was a 0-10 type of bad game but this is a great first step to aggressively tackling intentional feeders.

At the end of the day, this incident sucks for everyone. We respect that Dunkey hasn't posted his Reform Card, and I'm not going to post it either. Best wishes to him in the future.

You lost all credibility the moment you quoted Dunkey.
