What is intentionally feeding?

I know that term should define itself, it should mean a player who is feeding intentionally right? But here's what makes no sense. I've tested before that if I run it down mid I will get a temporary suspension but only after doing it a few games. I could be 0/6 or more and get that punishment. But yet, there are people who go 0/17 and don't get punished. My last game I literally had a yi and sona both go 0/7/0 just playing like straight garbage but they don't get in trouble. So what is intentionally feeding? I want my kda to go poorly because the system keeps putting me with feeders since normally I do really well whether my team wins or loses. What I mean is I generally have good cs, good damage overall, low deaths. I think because of this, the match making thinks I'm a carry player and puts me with feeders every game so I get one sided stomped constantly and it's annoying. I know if I start playing like dog shit I will start getting "carry" players on my team. It really makes me just want to run it down mid and go 0/20 before surrender but I know that will get me punished, so what is there left? Just constantly play with feeders on my team every game? Where my single report isn't even going to instantly get them punished? But I have to deal with it every game with new players all the time?

Being garbage at the game is not the same as intentional feeding.

Well just scrap that idea because im pretty sure the matchmaking system is based on MMR, bot whether youre a "carry player" or not. That would be a huge waste of time for you. If anything you may be able to carry harder because you'll be matched against worse players until you carry enough to get your MMR back up. What youre suffering from is playing with anonymous complete strangers, against anonymous strangers. Thats just how it goes. I recommend finding people to play with that you know arent trolls. Then again, i have a real life friend I play with who feeds all the time. He just doesnt think deeply enough about the game, like in terms of predicting outcomes from his actions and watching the minimap to help predict and base decisions on.

It's in the term itself. Intentionally feeding means that you specifically do things (run it down, start fights, etc) with the intent to lose the game.

People have bad games and go 0/17 but that doesn't mean that they are trying to lose the game on purpose.

having a bad game, and actually INTENTIONALLY ruining it for others, are two completely desperate things.

Running it down because you're a shitter and someone called you on it is intentional feeding.

Going into a ranked game when you know you are pure shit and then going 0-7 is intentional feeding.

Going 0-13 in a ranked game regardless of circumstance is intentional feeding.

Running it down because your team hard fed and won't surrender is NOT intentional feeding.

Running it down because some garbage ass feeder on your team decided to be an asshole to you while you're 22-2 and hard carrying his ass is NOT intentionally feeding.

Running it down because your team is trolling and wasting your time is NOT intentionally feeding.

Hope this clears thing up OP.
