    I picked SF and played against slark on mid. I got 2kills and then came Skywrath who dive to tower and i got easy kill. But then he start feeding, he didnt had any items, just moving around me and waiting for death. WTF is this ? I broke 3 records with "fake" game :(

    beyond imaginable

      What bracket of MM is it? I bet on High

        I guess he just got mad on Slark taking his? (I guess) mid but then losing it.

        Relentless

          That's to bad. I think most of my records are also from "fake" games where someone either fed or abandoned on my team causing a terrible loss or on the other team causing an absurdly easy wins.

          I don't know what can be done metagame-wise beyond reporting feeders. They all come out of low priority que on Sunday and depending on when they start playing they usually are banned again during Sunday or Monday. I try not to play without a 5 stack early in the week to avoid them.

            Also why did you kill him then?

              Make LP last a bit longer and repeated offences even more harsh.

                I agree with Sam that as hard as it can be to resist perhaps feeding so hard on a deliberate feeder is not the wisest. Along the line of what Safe Base keeps harping, a system that harsh would get abused and guaranteed you would be among the first complaining about the system because you feel you were unfairly reported.

                Safe Base

                  Refine the system a bit would be required.
                  it would not be possible to manually review each game but there can be an appeal system that is manual or semi manual. You only get 1 appeal per 6 months and successful appeals will give you another appeal.

                  If it's possible to add some other automatic checks when someone reports would be good. The report would only be valid if some of the following checks are satisfied
                  1) If a player buys 2 or more couriers and the game has 2 or more courier deaths on his team.
                  2) less than 100 XPM
                  3) D - K - A greater than 20
                  4) Time between respawn and next death under 30 seconds 5 times or more in a game
                  5) Last hit + deny for the whole game less than 10
                  6) Skills used between respawn and next death under 2 for 5 or more times in a game
                  7) 0 damage to enemy heroes between respawn and death for 5 or more times in a game
                  8) Death and respawn related conditions much have occured before at least one T3 tower is down (so teams trolling enemy fountain after they have "won" the game won't make someone seem like an intentional feeder to the system)

                  etc etc

                  Just some examples I came up with on top of my head, it's pretty hard to satisfy 2 or more of these conditions if you weren't purposely feeding.
