Hello lads! Im a bronze 3 adc and top player (hahaha I know [zombie-nunu-bummed] ). My friend finally became able to play ranked so we did that. After about 3/4 matches we've come across a lot of admitted intentional feeders with reason like they got mad that the enemy they fed became strong, which is such a bummer because we can't climb like that. How can I deal with games with ACTUAL inters, not just people that have a bad game or something?
Thank you :)
You report them and you move on to next game
Assume neither you nor your friend are the inters, you have even better statistics than soloQ people. There can only be 3 chances to have an inter on your team while there are potentially 5 on the enemy team (that's almost 1:2 odds!!!)
continue having a competent duo because your likelihood of climbing increases substantially, if you have one other teammate who is consistent it really helps. That's probably the biggest issue with climbing, its a team game yet people fall into this trap of saying 'I did it all by myself'
sometimes with a game of a ton of variables, any advantage (legal advantage :) ) you can get is extremely helpful
Many of these people will tell you that reporting them will fix your problem. I'm here to tell you that it won't, 90% of the people who have done the exact same thing to me never get banned even when multiple people on both teams report them (you would know as the system gives you a feedback response if the person you report gets banned or restricted).
To be put simply, Riot is an absolute failure when it comes to their punishment system. They take the easy route and ban or chat restrict people who say even slightly negative things that they consider "toxic" and don't ever focus on the real problem of players who intentionally feed or troll you. I doubt that will change any time soon, so you basically have to just focus on getting better and eventually you'll climb. It sucks but I wouldn't put any faith in Riot to fix it for you.

A big reason the system is aweful at identifying intentional feeders is because people report all feeding as intentional.
First blood? Inting. Doesn't know how do defend in an unfavorable matchup? Inting. First time on a champion? Inting. Badly outclassed? Inting. Caught out while warding dragon/baron? Inting.
Stuff like that adds so much flack, the system can't learn how to identify actual inting.
