What is inting?

My understanding of inting is that it is intentionally feeding. I get accused of inting a lot. I have recently made it a goal to try to raise all my champs to lvl 5 mastery so that way I have an understanding how the champ works and I can find out which champs I work best with. When I am in-game, especially with a new champ I will die a few times to the enemy champ. I do not intentionally feed the other team. Normally I will get between 5 to 10 deaths in a game. I will commonly have other player tell me they are reporting me for inting. I want to know how to know if I am inting and how riot determines whether a player should be banned for inting?

Inting is an expression, which gets thrown around a lot, but its actual meaning is not, what most people think. Just an example. You have 2 teammates

Kassadin has 0/7 stat, because he has a bad day/gets focused down/something else. You have a Yasuo, who is 14/0 with 1000 bounty on his head. He gets pissed off on Kassadin, because he is "inting" and decides to intentionally die to the enemy in quick succession, because he doesn't want to carry Kassadin.

Now here's the catch: the inter isn't Kassadin, but it's Yasuo. Why? Because Kassadin with such stats is a low profile target, he probably worths less than a minion at that point of the game, however Yasuo intentionally gave the enemy 1000+ gold by simply dying to them out of rage. It was done by intention, so he was actually inting.

It's a bit complicated, because inters don't necessarily have bad stats. Just like in Yasuo's case. He will only need to do such thing 3 times and he just fed the whole enemy team. Of course if it is done by intention, then it's inting, if he was just caught 3 times, it's not.

Inting has just become a slang term for "dying a lot"

It's clogging up the queue, which means actual inters take forever to get punished, if they get punished at all.

Riot doesn't have anyone hardline enough on staff to make things flow more smoothly, so the whole system is just a mess and it doesn't seem like anything's being done, which makes people more frustrated and sensitive to the inting issue, which results in more reports, which clogs the system even more, which makes it take even longer, and so on.

That's the problem. Everyone uses it to describe everything, same as these fucking twatty edgelords want to use rape to describe every act of sex. It doesn't help that most League players are either on excessive amounts of drugs or are dropouts, so their grasp on the English language is on the far left end of the bell curve. The word of a League player is worth infinitely less than fetid pig shit.

Its a word that gets thrown around a lot it is some one who is intentionally trying to die and cause the team to lose if you know you are still trying to win the game and not dying on purpose you have nothing to worry about they are just toxic and mute them [slayer-jinx-wink]

Inting is defined as intentionally feeding the enemy team in a normal game or going 0-15 in a ranked game.

Int has a whole new meaning once you start working on programming

It's not important your whole team could be 100/0/400 and one of you would be accused of inting.

Inting=intentionally doing things that lead to losing the game You facechecked the brush because you are stupid and died=not inting You facechecked the brush even though you know its dangerous but you dont care and you died=inting Riot can only ban a player for inting if he like obviously feeds(getting 6x mobis and running it down level of obvious feeding).

"inting"

is the act of intentionally doing something.

"feeding

is the act of supplying resources to another to provide growth and nourishment.

"intentionally feeding"

is a gaming term that means to supply resources to someone on purpose with knowledge that it will allow them to grow in strength

"intentionally feeding your opponent"

is a gaming term that is exclusive to online versus games where a player helps an opponent grow to superior levels of strength at the expense of their team WITH the knowledge that they are benefiting their opponent.

The reason why you're being accused of intentionally feeding is because you're ending the game with what is thought by the majority of the league player base as "too many deaths"

how many deaths is too many deaths in league of legends?

Riot would have to answer that by averaging the amount of deaths in non LCS matches.

as per the communities outlook on the matter - because LCS players and streamers tend to be in diamond or better it is automatically assumed that if the game lasts 30 minutes and you have 2 deaths or more then you're inting.

the community also has this idea that if you are the person that grants your opponents first blood then you're inting.

the only people allowed to carry are mid and jungle and only if they have 15 more kills than the high amount of kills on the opponents team.

intentionally feeding is pretty obvious and is determined by repetitive behavior and gameplay analysis over a series of games assuming those games get reported and reviewed.

you're more likely to be given a valid intentional feeding ban by requesting a baron duel from an opponent and losing than you are by just being unskilled.

a player that is unskilled is more obvious than players realize, but because players are focused on their own gameplay they're incapable of seeing the whole picture.

beyond everything i've said it's also just a trend at this point to blame the first person to die or anyone that you disagree with as inting just to ruffle their feathers. "you're inting" is the new "you're gay" and "your mom". It's meant to shut down an argument by attacking the person's character and puts doubt into the mind of the rest of the team. In reality it's childish, but because of the desire to fit in a lot of times duos and such will hive mind together and repeat it back and forth to one another.

When you're intentionally feeding.

And yes while people can have bad games, that stops being a factor in Diamond+ when that player is making mistakes you expect from Iron-Silver players.

If anyone accuses you of Inting Putinator just ignore them. You not knowing any better is different than actually feeding on purpose, and chances are the morons calling you out for it don't know any better too (that chance is very high), they just blame cause they think they are never the problem.
