Is it banable to say "afk" or "inting" when someone takes a camp/farm/kill you were going for?

If you then proceed to play as normal and never had any intention of doing such?

Why would you say "afk" or "inting" in the first place instead of politely telling the person that you disapprove of their choice of taking a camp/farm/kill you were going for?

It doesn't motivate anyone. It make people tilt and play more poorly. Not the opposite.

Doesn't work. Assume that everything you plan to say will be seen in the worst possible context, regardless of intent.

It's a lot like customer service or tech support, honestly; the consumer is an idiot and does their level best to make you hate them, yet you still have to behave professionally.

Probably not, but context is everything.

It's a bad idea to say stuff like that even if you aren't punished, though. Lots of people AFK or int in this game for terrible reasons, which puts the rest of us on alert. I had a guy the other day threaten to AFK if I didn't change my DJ Sona song, and even though it turned out he was joking, I initially took him seriously and was upset.

Rofl that's actually hilarious.

It's funny in retrospect, but seemed very serious at the moment. I HAVE had people rage for my song choices before, it's bizarre.

slang for intentional feed

Scary how they even have their own slang for it isn't it?

It's a bad idea in general, because it does nothing to help the situation and probably will make it worse (especially for something as petty as a camp or kill. That's like 60% Greek god pettiness).

Also, as little history note: When the tribunal was voted on, declarations of afk or intentional feeding would be near insta-punish vote.
