Playing badly does not equal inting

Just a friendly reminder. Noticed a few forum posts complaining about people feeding, but sucking at the game or just having a really bad game in general doesn't mean you're intentionally feeding. Hope y'all had a great Halloween btw.

They do it because they want someone ELSE to blame. That way they can remove any contribution to the loss from themselves. They can brag about how perfectly they played and how its all the fault of the "inter" So if someone plays badly, they just have to label that person an inter and its like a "Get out of responsibility free" card

Being CC-chained is Not inting. Being Outplayed, is NOT INTING. Having a bad game and just beng caught out, does not mean someone is inting.

constantly calling a person an intentional feeder over and over only stresses them out and makes them play worse, makes them prone to more mistake. And so these people wanting to say "Playing bad = Intentional feed" are THE ONES AT FAULT for the loss. They are going out of thier way to stress thier team, out of thier way to distract and frustrate teammates, Making thier team feel like shit even moreso when the person alreadly feels like crap for screwing up. Also the labeller can take any responsibility off themselves.

Too bad the end result is the same. If I lose LP/MMR because a teammate goes 0/15, I don't care if it wasn't intentional or not.

Riot should put a giant discription on what inning is, I've only been in 2 games where the enemy team or someone on my team was legitimately inting. Generally people just call feeding inting, especially if they're bronze or low silver. At least from what I've observed in most of my games in normals.

The people who rage at you with "stop feeding" or "this guy is inting" tend to forget that every game in LoL has one winner, and one loser.

If you win a game in twenty minutes flat, chances are, you stomped the living daylights out of the enemy team.

Does that mean they inted? Hell no. They got their asses handed to them on a silver platter. Then for good measure the silver platter was smashed over their head.

But, then when the reverse happens, and you lose a game in twenty minutes, several people per lobby tend to start hurling the "feeding" insults. You gotta lose some time, and no matter how good you are, you're bound to get games where you're double or triple negative.

Leave people alone. They're not inting most of the time. There has to be a winner, and there has to be a loser. 50/50 chance either way, no matter what.

There is a difference and it's important to differentiate.

You can obviously tell a difference when someone is running down lane with 5 Tears intentionally dying, vs someone who is trying their best just having a bad game or as you said it -- just isn't that good lol.

{quoted} sucking at the game or just having a really bad game in general doesn't mean you're intentionally feeding.

This is a matter of degree. So no, I disagree. At some point it does become feeding - at which point you should be demoted to a lower bracket or banned.

a bit sad but true the ppl that are just unexperienced with the game and straight up bad are protected by a shield they cannot be touched and they are free to ruin everyone's gaming experience.
