How many times can you intentionally feed before being banned?

I had a first in ranked a few days back -- someone said in champ select "sorry, just lost my promos, I'm going to feed" and then literally spent all game running straight down various lanes and dying. Ended up 0/13/0 in a 13 minute game with 0 damage to champions. As soon as the game ends, I report and queue up again, and guess who's on the enemy team, doing precisely the same thing! Alright, fine, I'll report, they'll be punished, everything's good. Surely two games in a row of everyone reporting clearly punishable behavior will do it, right?

Except... they're still playing ranked games, several a day, since then.

How many times can you intentionally feed before being banned? I'm astonished the number is more than 0, honestly.

According to the boards "naming and shaming" is against the rules so I'll withhold the match history links, but they indicate pretty unambiguous behavior.

You can be banned for intentionally feeding just once. However, the system isn't necessarily always good enough to catch it, and may rely on much more than a single reported game to review their behavior.

You're astonished it's more than 0? So 0 games is what it takes in your opinion before someone gets banned for inting? Pre-emptive banning? Riot is supposed to look into your mind and ban you the second you queue up to int feed?

I understand your frustration, but condemning behavior for a temporary loss only results in more reactivity to stress, anger, and distrust in future games for you. Do not hesitate to report, but understand all things are temporary, and try to enjoy the moment by yourself, to learn, and to grow, instead of holding a grudge that will weigh you down.

A better question is - When the fuck does it get manually reviewed? The Automatic system is clearly not perfect. Far from it since it doesn't always detect this crap.

OP is correct in that he did seem to intentionally feed those two games. One as trundle and one as trynd. He then ceases inting behavior. He has not been banned yet as his last game was 12 hours ago.

It looks like he reached gold 5 yesterday after a successful promos.

He had a string of 4 bad games 2 feeding. He does seem to have a way to get the team to bomb when he is filled as support. Low kill low team levels etc.

alot takes like 30 games, if ur high elo like diamond prlby 1 or 2 but if ur lower, it will take days unless everyone reports. seen it on many account stats and some still do it today(like straight games same champ just 0/12/0 back to back)

I haven't ever intentionally fed but I have been punished for raging my butt off at a intentional feeder and of course you know the rules! No toxic no matter what!

That aside I highly doubt a intentional feeder would come out and say he was banned.

I actually tried it out once, but after running down for the whole game in ranked 5 times I got bored.
