To Int or not to Int
It seems a lot of people use the term "Inting" rather liberally, even going to the extent of using "soft inting" to include all forms of negative KDR. My last game prompted me to post on the forums and look at other players' understanding of the term. It originally comes from intentional feeding, when I first played League Inting wasn't used a lot and there seemed to be a better understanding of the line between dying often and running down mid tower to get killed.
Anyway this Miss Fortune in the enemy team had a pretty rough time and there was this one instance where she just ran into a few of us and died, however she really did play the rest of the game and, from my perspective, did her best to get picks and contribute in teamfights (the rest of her team had higher scores, but the plays from some of them were horrendous, they just kept a "better" score because they managed to burst down one of us before dying).
I've also, in the past, accidentally ran into the middle of a lane and died myself because of a lapse in attention, I'm fairly certain most of us have at some point.
At the end of the game, I'm pretty sure at least 3 players on that team reported the Miss Fortune player and, to me, that makes no sense. Some players in the League community have grown cynical or pessimistic because you often see toxicity or trolling, but they've themselves become part of the problem, taking a good ol' dump on players that are having a bad game then asking everyone to report them for Inting when there's clearly nothing intentional
I wonder where along the line the meaning of the word "intentional" was forgotten and when "died a lot" became a reportable offense.
Does anyone here use Inting to describe anyone that's feeding unintentionally and, if so, why mix the two terms when there's a clear difference?
