Where are all these INTENTIONAL feeders at?

AlienPrimate·Mar 20, 2017·2 votes·1,559 views

The boards is making it seem like it is common to meet up with an intentional feeder at least once daily. I have only seen 1 that I can specifically remember and his team had already committed to an open mid before hand. Other than that, I don't recall having actually seen an intentional feeder in over a year of playing. I have seen quite a few people who are either terrible at the game or just had a terrible game but I could tell they were at least trying by getting cs, defending objectives, or split pushing.

Honestly, I can't say if I have or not in 50 games confidently. 50 games is a long timeframe. 10 or 20 games I can at least say answer as "no".

I have intentionally fed before. I still managed to do all of the things in the quote while intentionally feeding.

There is a difference between intentional feeding and just split pushing without caring anymore. I just did that in a game today and went 0/8/2 on Nunu. My team was flaming me hard for screwing up on an invade early game so I just muted everyone and bought zz'rot and banner of command to split push the rest of the game ignoring everything else. At the end of the game we took 2 towers and lost all 11. The only 2 we took were the ones I killed after deciding to split. I admit that I was intentionally not caring anymore, but I didn't buy boots of mobility and run straight in 1v5 until the game ended.

Intentionally feeding means intentionally giving the other team kills. "Feeding" the other team kills.

When I was feeding, I would "split push". If an enemy showed up, I would let them kill me.

Sometimes, I would take fights I know I would not win. For instance, solo tower diving as an ADC while being a couple items behind. From an outside perspective, this is not technically feeding. However, I know in my heart I was intentionally feeding.

Yes, but when people think of intentional feeding, they automatically assume it means mobi boots/tear running down mid. I do get plenty of teammates who do it in a less obvious way, or feed so hard that it cannot be considered anything other than intentional.

At lower elos where it is expected that people stay in there lanes and try to fend for themselves, how do you expect someone to not feed after falling behind? The only way to not feed is to group up but as soon as they do that their team blames them for losing towers and no one else wants to stop the fed opponent from pushing. With how weak towers are right now, it is almost impossible to not feed after falling behind unless you are a tank. I bet a diamond top laner would feed if they started off 0/2 against a bronze top player if they were forced to stay in lane.

If you have fallen behind in lane to the point where the other guy can just kill you over and over under your tower, then you have already fed. If you were camped, then its understandable. But there is no reason to ever die solo in lane multiple times.

That would never happen.

What if you had an all-in fight twice in a row with both fights coming down to whoever took 1 more minion hit? I have had this happen before. I had an Urgot top game vs Tryndamere and went all in at level 2 with exhaust and he got away with less than 5 hp. His ignite as he was running away is actually what killed me. I came back and he dove me through the minions and killed me again less than 2 minutes later. Again, he got away with about 20 hp this time. After that there was nothing I could do. I sat under tower trying to cs and begged for jungle help which I wasn't going to get because my whole team lost lane. The rest of the game was the same thing over and over and over. No matter who the enemy was, they always got away with so little hp that a single auto attack, Q, or thunderlord's proc would kill them. I ended that game with 0/11/0 dealing 17k damage with the most on my team being Ahri with 17.4k. The 8/0/6 Tryn I was laning against also dealt 17.4k damage. Did I intentionally feed this game?

I mean to some account yes, you engaged fights knowing you would die But also no, as it sounds like a bad game occurred nothing more

Would I be pissed if you went 0/11 in my games yes, would I report? dunno intent feeding isnt the easiest thing to spot but flaming/harassing + high death count would lead me to report intent feeding+ harassment+ negative tude

I didn't once engage in fights after I was 0/2. Every death after that was either under tower while farming or from trying to help my team. I think I saved my team mates by ulting an enemy 3 or 4 times.

I'll be clear I do not have the game logs to verify so I'm going to just restate my opinion

A diamond player can probably give a bronze player 5k gold advantage and still win that match up.

I had an intentional feeder on the enemy team yesterday, a Fiddlesticks support who would run down the different lanes until he died. But honestly that's the only one I've seen this year at least. I've had plenty of people insist people on their team were inting when they were just playing poorly, but actual intentional feeders? Pretty much never see them.

If someone died 10 times at 20min, so every 2min, he int feeds, even when it's not "running down mid with 6 Tears"

Just because one dies a lot in a game does not automatically make one an intentional feeder.

checked back through my last 20 games and I have had 2 on my team in that time. Once in a normal a 1/12 Karthus (24 min game) support who would walk into the enemy team over and over and a 0/6 nasus in ranked who would go afk for 3 min after each death (I assume hardcore tilted from previous game).
