Everyone has bad games.

Feeding in one game doesn't make someone a bad player. Likewise, just pointing that someone fed one of the enemies is not calling that person a bad player. It's not negative attitude or verbal abuse. It's simply stating that in that current game champion X died to champion Y several times. (It's the same as if you said an enemy fed your ally. If I'm wrong and the former is an offense, then so is the latter.) Please note: "Tristana fed Vayne." is entirely different from "Tristana sucks, and should uninstall because she fed Vayne." One is a comment on #game state. It lets your other allies know that if they try to 2v1 alongside Tris against Vayne, they may still lose the fight.* Fed is a very common term for these games and is used to describe such a situation. Saying just the Vayne IS fed doesn't give enough information for your allies to know Tris won't always be able to make the 2v1 a win. * The other is harassment-which may accompany the first, but does not change the meaning of the first. #Please know the difference. And you can't pretend that a phrase which isn't negative is against the rules when it's misinterpreted. If you were to say the enemies are at Dragon, and the jungler happens to be too far to contest, would you expect the jungler to report you because it "made him feel bad"? That holds just as much imagined hostility as the other scenario.

deaf ears my friend deaf ears....

again there are people who will get that 5 games straight cause of 5 different people feeding is toxic even if its one game and frankly its made worse sense it usually means some one had to forfeit the role which you then fed with.

You don't need to point out the mistakes of other. Instead shut your mouth and try to help that poor player or what ever. I mean, it's like going to a fat guy and tell him "hey, you're fat" it's a fact, but still it maybe hurt that person no matter how true that statement is. (and I bet he knows already that he's fat ;D so does the guy who feed and your whole team know about it too)

Like I've said twice now, it's not pointing out a mistake.

It's a call-out to the team to be aware that even if they try to 2v1, if their ally in that fight is the person who fed they might still lose. It's not at all like saying someone is fat. That would be like calling someone bad, since being fat is always negative. The team needs to know who fed so they know they aren't guaranteed to win a 2v1 while he's their backup. It's a game state update. Fed is a term mobas use for such a situation. If you don't know terms used in these games, you should learn them.

A "Vayne is fed, be carefull" is enough. No need to say stuff like "Tristana fed Vayne". What ever, do what you like to do ;-) The wheather here, over the ocean, is waaay to good to argue. *prost

^ A quick look at the board score is enough for people to tell who fed who, no need to point it out.

It can be discouraging to the player.

^This. HAXXORZ is correct. It is minor but still negative.

Please note: "Tristana fed Vayne." is entirely different from "Tristana sucks, and should uninstall because she fed Vayne."

You are correct that they are different. But the difference is in severity, not that one lacks negativity.

"Tristana fed Vayne." Is still discouraging to the player, and though minor is still negative.

On its own, or in isolation, it probably won't get you in too much trouble(if at all). But if you are saying it constantly, spamming it, or it is accompanied by other negative comments, then it will count against you.

Fed is a term used in MOBAs to refer to the act or position of getting a lot of kills or dying a lot so that one player has a significant advantage.

Stating that someone is fed, be it an enemy or an ally, is simply stating a part of the game. Just as if you were to say "Player X bought Thornmail." (Including if that player's lane opponent is a MAGE and that is the complete wrong item.)

Harassment that may accompany it is an offense, but talking about game state is not. You can be discouraged just as much by hearing that the enemy is at dragon if you're the jungler and nowhere near enough to contest it. It may be misconstrued as negative or offensive, but the phrase holds no hostility or even passive-aggressiveness _alone. _

The problem is that while a fed player is a desirable situation, a player that has fed is not. By stating "Tristana fed Vayne.", you are pointing out that the Trist has failed or done something wrong.

It is discouraging to the Trist. Which as Ive said, is minor but still negative.

Everyone has bad games.
