inting is "intentionally feeding"
So when you are in a game and someone is doing poorly, don't say they are inting. It is not their intent that they are feeding, it is likely they are just playing poorly. So it is just normal feeding

If we want to break it down... the term "feeding" ACTUALLY came from dying intentionally, not dying a lot, but meanings change.

How do you define intentional feeding? The all-too common scenario is that someone dies 5 times in the first 7 minutes of the game. Do they play more conservatively and hug the tower? Nope, they continue to charge into a fight that they are at more and more of a level and item disadvantage. No reasonable person would believe that a lvl 6, 5-0 Darius won't continue to beat a lvl 4, 0-5 Teemo in 1v1 matchups. So why does the Teemo keep charging in and forcing the fight?
In my opinion, inting is not just announcing "I hate you guys" and diving turrets. It's losing all desire to care whether or not you are feeding.
I guess my Hecarim top made a bad decicion where after he died 1v1 Teleported top and tried to get the enemy tower. Plates give a lot of gold but it was a slightly bad decision of him to try and destroy a full hp turret level 3 without any minions around =/.
Point is, people soft int all the time and try to make it seem like it was a bad play, just so they do not get banned. Yes, trying to 1v1 their 15/1 master yi as janna is inting.
Called it quite a while ago. "Inting" is going through the same transition as "feeding". Soon people will differentiate between "inting" and "intentionally inting". One can only hope that this ridiculous cycle continues and it eventually gets shortened to int-inting (which, in time, will turn into intentionally int-inting).
Alternatively I propose saying "purposefully inting" and shortening it to "purping".
I blame IWD for saying "wait he's inting" every time somebody played poorly and he wanted to blame someone for his loss
I believe you're wrong. Inting, in my book, or rather, anyone that has half a brain should mean the following:
Intentionally not caring about the game. This means:
- Don't pick a first time champion in ranked, have at least 10-15 games on it.
- Don't die over and over. If you've died twice, laning phase is over for you, check this game out: https://matchhistory.euw.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/EUW1/4044608125/241248493?tab=overview Kayle literally died over and over and just started "inting" and not caring anymore. He was like "whatever dude". This is straight up intentionally destroying a game because you got tilted.
So, no, I think that while for 99% of the usage it's just kids repeating after T1, inting is a real thing that you start doing when you give up and it happens virtually every game.
Play champions you know, follow the meta, or test extensively in normals, wait for your jungler.
Stop inting on the boards man.
"Inting" derives from intentionally feeding. Even if it's a grey area, the OP's point still stands. Don't flame somebody and call them an inter for having 4 or 5 deaths. It's much different from going 0/30, like an actual inter would.
It's easier that way anyway, because you never really know what random team mates are thinking. You cannot possibly know whether they care or not about something/if they think something will work for sure, only assume.
People have just started to turning "inting" into the new catchy lingo, but it's just cringe city.
incorrect.
