Thought I would just post this because it is a pet peeve of mine.

Not all dying is feeding. Very, very rarely is dying = feeding.

Feeding is someone intentionally dying; someone trying to make the team lose. People can be horrible at the game, but not be feeding. Being bad at the game isn’t a ban-able offense.

I understand the frustration some players may have when they feel they are losing because of one players actions, but it’s not feeding lmao

That's how it used to be, but the terminology has changed a bit over the years. It makes sense to assume "feeding" to be something one actively does, but by now it is typically just considered dying (a lot) and therefore giving up a lot of experience and gold.

What you consider feeding is now usually called "intentionally feeding", "inting", or - the worst one I've ever seen - "intentionally inting".

You are confusing feeding with intentionally feeding.

If you die to your laner multiple times and they are 10/0 then they are fed because you fed them. Maybe it was not intentional, you just had a bad game, but yes it was feeding.

Intentional feeding, as it sounds, is when your intent is to feed and is bannable; legitimately having a bad game however is not.

actually what youre saying actually is feeding, and it seems as if you have its definition just a bit off.

feeding, is just dying a bunch. but as long as you weren't in any way doing this to sabotage your team, its A-ok.

intentional feeding is when you feed to make your team lose. this, is bad, and is bannable. people who do this are the scum of the community that make us rage.

you are correct. dying =/= feeding. (for those that want to say otherwise screw you) feeding is dying on purpose (i.e. running it down mid) dying is dying but doing your damn best and helping the team. just like high kill =/= fed. high kill just means skill. more skill you have the higher your kill count will be. though that is the problem with league. it is more based on luck it seems.
