Intentional Feeding? Yes or No? Advice? in General Discussion
Izerea

    Heeey everyone, first Dotabuff post. So my friend and I were doing well in-lane against a Lina and Juggernaut. Everything is fine. Then we start seeing that the Terrorblade on our team is dying fairly frequently, and....with no kills (keep in mind that this is a Terrorblade we're talking about, with no kills). He managed to keep that trend going till the very end, denying that he was intentionally feeding. Of course, my team (and especially I) started to fall behind because the enemy was getting so much gold and exp. What I'm wondering is: do you guys think that he was intentionally feeding? And is there anything we could have done in response play-wise? I feel like we could have won this game if he had contributed anything, but perhaps there was something the rest of the team could have done to win it. Items? Techniques? Anything...?

    Thanks for any help, it'll be an asset to me to learn what could/should have been done in response if it in fact was intentional feeding.

      No, he is just bad.

      Real intentional feeding looks like this:

        It's very difficult to win if you have a player in the team who feeds that much.

        If he does it on purpose, you can not prevent him from dying. Your best bet would be to push with the 4 other players, hope that the other team concentrates on getting that free kill and try to end the game as soon es possible ;-) Don't forget to report him at the end so that he can play with likeminded people in the LPQ.

        If he doesn't do it on purpose and is just that inexperienced, you can try to give insult-free advice and/or babysit him to win early team battles, then push as much as possible.

          that's why people play ranked..

            Soultrap - Wow, sorry that that happened to you and your team. I have never seen anything like that.

            Socram - Aha, that would have been a good idea to base race. We may or may not have won it, but at least we would have had a chance. My friend and I did tell him several times to get back and to NOT go alone. He continued to press on by himself. And I did report him, I didn't really care at the time whether it was intentional or not, haha.

            Yfay - My friend is not eligible to be in a ranked game, so when we play matches together it's just normal All-Pick mode. I generally prefer Ranked matches when going solo, however.

              It's dead end mate,
              he's the only carry you can rely on end game and he play like that.
              All you can do is type all chat "ff end pls"

                You can also try convince your team to follow him @all aboard the feedtrain@ sometimes that makes people think twice when they know other people are dependent on them aswell

                  I got another "pure" feeder today.

                  Worst part is if you keep fighting 4vs6 you still lose.
                  My respect to Axe.

                    Oh man, I feel so sorry for that Axe (and you). What a friken' trooper. Looks like Axe had the potential to simply wipe out their entire team by himself, but as we all know that's rediculously hard to do. I mean, I've never seen an Axe with a Dagon, but still....

                      9 anonymous, I guess your friend has even less matches than you = you are playing with people that are new to the game so it is normal

                        Terrorblade looked like he was attempting some legit items.

                        Come post a thread when your guy starts buying mass couriers to feed to enemy team. This is just bad gameplay. Real bad.

                            Btw, Axe's nickname was "Lod[A] HyperX". Could it be real Loda who fell victim to a Russian troll? Such a shame for my country... =(

                            EmptyJar

                              No it's not loda

                                You think you've seen the worst guys? How about this Crixalis?
                                http://dotabuff.com/matches/502514748

                                I was too busy trying to win the game with backdoor, splitpush etc. and all i remember from start to the very end of the game is that this Crixalis had several seizures, nervous system breakdowns etc. and was trying to ruin the game. But then again he was amazed at how well my hero performed even under such circumstances and tried to make up for his mistake by stunning and ultying sometimes, still autism was hitting him hard. In conclusion, the game ended by base race and i obviously lost because the rest of the team didn't even bother to def properly. This is the only game after 2 years of playing dota 2 that made me punch the wall hard and in the end i said to invoker: "Wp but you didn't deserve this win Invo and you know it. This crix made you win" and he said: "I know... gg wp :)". So trust me when i tell you that if i had this crixalis sitting next to me, in the same netcafe as i do, i would have killed him and go to prison for the rest of my life.

                                  Ah, come on, that guy has decent KDA.

                                  Slark from my game directly addressed enemy team in all-chat with lines like:
                                  "Guys, wait for me, I'm coming mid"
                                  and
                                  "Ok, I'm here, now kill me!"

                                  Btw, that Slark lasthitted only 1 creep, and Nature's Prophet from my first example had 2 lasthits. These two are on next level of feeding.
