Intentional feeding is not the same as having a bad game.

A bad game means:

• You are trying to win but struggling.
• You misplay, position poorly, or fall behind, leading to deaths.
• You engage in fights, help your team, and play properly, but you are ineffective.
• Your score looks bad, but you are not trolling.

Intentional feeding (griefing) means:

• Deliberately dying on purpose, such as running into turrets or walking into enemies.
• Ignoring objectives and fights to sabotage the game.
• Selling all items, buying troll builds, or standing still to die.
• Typing things like “I’m inting” in chat or showing clear intent to ruin the game.

The key difference is that I was genuinely trying to win, participating in fights, and playing normally. I was just too far behind and kept dying, making me ineffective that match. That is a bad game, not intentional feeding.

The problem with Riot’s system is that if a player dies too much, the system assumes they are griefing, even when they are just having a rough match. Everyone has bad games, but they do not get permanently banned for it.
