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.

Honestly, you're 100% right OP, too bad that's not the case when people come crying here only to get exposed for straight-up lying. People pretend that's all they say, when in reality, they end up going the whole nine yards the majority of the time by calling people garbage losers that need to stop playing in multiple games.

If someone really said nothing but something along the lines of "hey, you fed the this guy, we cannot fight", then I would say any punishment related to that is not deserved if they did not go any further. But like I said, that almost never happens.

There is a pretty negative connotation to the word "feed"...

Wow.. bot lane fed... (This basically means bot lane sucked the whole laning phase and cost the other 3 players the game)

Who fed the Jinx?? (Gee.. I dunno... Im guessing it probably wasnt the top lane Malphite.)

It can be discouraging to the player. Trust me, they know they have died. You don't need to tell them. It's like back in high school if you failed a math test, would you like it if someone reminded you that you failed shortly after it happened? Similarly, telling someone they are feeding does not necessarily come across as toxic, but it does portray a negative attitude for sure.

deaf ears my friend deaf ears.... while one game of feeding happens every so often when you play and have it more then one game it becomes toxic even if you have 5 different people over 5 games the fact that some one was unlucky enough to have so many feeders proves the system is a flawed and b its a poor argument to say one game doesn't make it toxic

for the record if you 0/10 with 20 assists you arent a feeder odds are you are a support and your team is bad. i feel your pain

Na, if you said that to me, it'd make me want to just leave the game or tilt me.

I had games when my teammates are so friendly and positive but there's the games when you just die once and it is over for them Even if you start getting kills your still a feeder or boosted They don't know what a bad game is, like if them have never had one People need to start being:

  1. More comprehensive
  2. More focused on what they are doing
  3. Less worried about what's the (''feeder/boosted/noob'') next move
  4. Be more positive and don't quit even if the game is going bad

If everyone follows those steps, League of Legends wouldn't be a place were you're scared of going back and play a simple game

Thanks
