I'd like you to tell me your definition of feeding. I just went a game as fiora and went 0/8/0 The previous games I had good ping of 40 this game my ping was 200 I was against malphite My miss fortune, and ivern proceeded to flame me and told me to "stop feeding" not to mention the moment my internet crashed(only for maybe 5-10 seconds) they surrendered even though we could still win had they waited a bit now, here's a question for you all: is there some sort of magical button i can press that makes me lcs material so i can "stop feeding" cause right now in this meta, when someones fed, there's no such thing as playing safe or just farming as when someones fed, you wont be safe under turret or farming. There's a difference between doing poorly and feeding, please realize that.

Yes you were feeding. We've all fed at one point. Thankfully, Riot knows that for one person to dominate, someone else has to get dominated. So there's no rule against feeding. It happens. You get outplayed, their team smells blood, they constantly come to your lane, your team does nothing about it, they dice your tower 4v1, suddenly you're "feeding". Not only are you doing poorly, you're feeding. There's a difference yes, but if you're 0/8/0, unless it's like an hour long game, you're feeding.

I think what you meant to say is, there's a difference between feeding, and intentionally feeding. Feeding happens to everyone, intentionally feeding is a reportable offense that only scummy people do.

Do you really think you were going to win as 0/8/0 when the enemy you fed can destroy your marksman?

Yeah u were feeding. But as long as it wasn't intentional, who cares?

In my opinion, yeah, it's feeding.

It sucks that your ping spiked in that game, but there's ways to continue playing without dying so much and still help your team. As Fiora, most games you'll want Hydra and other offensive items, but if you're lagging really bad there's no point. You won't be able to kill anything if it's really that bad, so don't build offensive. Instead, try to build things that can help your team without a lot of interaction. Like a ZZ'rot portal to help you keep your turret up and push waves. Or just building tanky in general, that way at least you're a high HP meatshield that can soak a lot of damage. Righteous Glory is another item that could help your team with the movement speed boost. The point is, you can still be a bit productive even in these terrible scenarios. And if you aren't, then yes, it is feeding.

As a side note, I see that you have more than a few games like this as well. A 1/6/0 Fiora game, 0/10/1 as Kled, 0/6/2 as Soraka, and so on. Does this happen to you a lot?

Yes and no. It's kind of a fingers/thumbs situation. All thumbs are fingers, but not all fingers are thumbs.

Feeding usually implies doing poorly, but doing poorly doesn't mean feeding.

In this case, going 0/8/0 is pretty solid feeding. It's hard to say you weren't. Not saying it was your fault or anything. If you had 200 ping, I guess we can be thankful it was only 8 deaths?

Definition of feeding does not matter. Almost every single player in this game and whole community thinks feeding is reason for report. It is intentional feeding, as dying is part of the game. But Riot has now show their colors in public with Adelaine Skyhart case - they do not give a damn why someone is reported, and system is totally automatic. Enough reports, automatic ban, no humans involved, and no reimbusement if accusation is found false. Riot have decided to side with griefers, as it is hard to keep justice when too many violate rules. Easier to go with majority and lie to customers.
