Playing badly is NOT Int feeding

Hello people of the boards.

I recently played an aram game with my friends. I am a Gold level player but I was playing with 2 of my lowest ranked friends, because you know they are my friends and I don't give a shit if they are good or not I just want to play and have fun.

The problem was that they got something like Singed and Blitz in Aram. These aren't bad champs but they were doing terribly. Since we were mostly melee they kept trying to engage fights and got killed a lot. We had an ashe tho, after the first 2 or 3 deaths, she decided we were all int feeding and categoricaly refused to help us. She stood behind our toiwer blaming us for int feeding while not even trying to clear the waves or poke at all. She litteraly said she would not elp or play the game until we "got better". I tried to tell her my friends were tying to win but she couldn'T get around the fact that if they are trying to win, they can't be int feeding.

Her reasonning was that my friends were intentionnaly feeding and therefore she had no obligation to try or even give a shit. The problem is they were feeding yes, but not intentionnaly. That seems to be a problem a lot of times when I play my games whatever the elo is. People are VERY QUICK to say you are intentionnaly feeding for simply playing badly.

It's almost as if nobody really knew what "intentionnal" means. I did of course report the ashe after we lost the game, but I get this kind of assholes everyother game.

Intentionnal : done by intention or design : intended / intentional damage.

As in people have to be WILLINGLY feeding their ass off. Even if your top laner is 0 10 0, that does NOT make him an Int feeder unless his INTENT was specifically to feed and throw the game.

TL;DR : Stop calling people having a bad game int feeders. There must be an INTENT to feed for it to be int feeding.

The issue is, people would rather believe someone was maliciously ruining their game instead of it being an honest accident or mistake.

Why?

Because it's easier on their conscience to direct blame and anger towards the former.

I hate people that take ARAM so seriously. I'm more likely to report the person raging or blaming than a person who goes afk. It's supposed to be a fun game where you play a random champ. I also agree with you when it comes to inting accusations, people are quick to throw it out.

What about the guys that run into 5 people and go "gee golly guys I'm sorry I'm so bad" while silently laughing at their computer? That's what people are afraid of. That's why people get mad. It's honestly the best way to troll, feeding on purpose but saying it was accidental. If you're 0/10 top, it matters where you died. If you're under the enemy tower, you're intentionally feeding. If you're dying under your own tower, or to a gank, or to a brawl in the middle of the lane, I can let that go.
