What is Intentional Feeding?

Feeding, is when you die multiple times to an enemy so that they get items, xp and objectives quicker.

Intentional: done on purpose

Doing this intentionally is two fold.

A) A player runs into a tower and yells touchdown in all chat and other similar scenarios.

B) When a player DOESN'T change their behavior after dying multiple times.
For example:

• Trying to 1v1 in lane, while 8 minions hit you and dying, 4 times in a row, is intentional feeding.
• Running down middle mid game with no help, and two towers missing on your side into 5 enemy players.
• Running into Dragon Pit 1v5, after dragon has died.
• Running 1v5 into baron, after it has died.
• Staying at the enemy base after you get an tower/inhib for them to spawn when EVERYONE on your team has left and is pinging you to leave.

B is very rarely understood in my MMR. People think they're "just having a bad game". You aren't. You're intentionally doing the same things to get yourself killed without any regard for how it effects the rest of your team. You are DYING ON PURPOSE. This happens in many scenarios, not jut the ones I listed.

What to do when you're feeding in scenario B. Accept you're doing something extremely wrong. Ask for help. And if all else fails, stay WELL behind the towers and group so they can carry you and so that you can recover. When you're 3/12, you shouldn't be trying to solo the 17/2 Syndra (like I had in my last game). When you're 1/11 on Vayne, you shouldn't be trying to tank. When behind, you need to find ways to help your team recover and find ways for you to increase your level and gold WITHOUT dying again. When you're 0/8 and I ask you to stay behind me, I'll help you escape and live then don't run up the middle into a 1v5 and die again.

Please help me, help you. It's not intentional feeding to die a few times. Less than 10 a game isn't so bad. Less than 5 is ideal. But it IS intentional feeding to essentially eliminate yourself from the game by dying so much and then continue the same behavior until the end of the game. You HAVE to do something to change and recover or it's intentional feeding.
