This kinda ruined my day : it was a typical all pick rmm match, so we started picking, just like any match... At first it buggers me a little that one guy insta-picks Bloodseeker, but I tell myself "it's okay, let's hope for the best". Then the game starts, and he starts feeding the mid sf on purpose. Then he feeds the courier, and buys other couriers... Sf is on a killing spree by 1:30. So of course, I reported him, and I abandoned after 5 mins, but it pisses me when I think about it.

Has any of you here had the same case where a random idiot just feeds for no reason?

Thankfully, i have never had an intentional feeder on my team, i just get really **** players on my team. However, i have played against feeders, and i always report them, because it defeats the purpose of the game when you are pudge with 20 stacks of Flesh Heap by the 15 min mark.

Well, I reported him, but I don't know if it will change anything. Hope he will be stuck in low prio for a long time though.

I have, thankfully they're usually on the other Team.

It's best to just report them and move on.

Still haven't played a game with an intentional feeder. Report and try and get on with it, is all we can suggest. They'll likely end up banned as a result of multiple people reporting for the same thing.

Nothing you can do, I just played one and the mid Pudge was terrible, then just fed. All you can do is report them - they should end up in low priority in no time. Make sure you report genuine feeders on the other team too, you wouldnt want to be stuck with them either, and but for the throw of a dice in matchmaking, you would have been!

Yeah, it also happened that the feeder was on the other team. Once it was a Gyrocopter who decided that his team was too bad (match was quite tied, maybe a bit in my team's favor) and started feeding mid. Also, a Dazzle who did it from the start. I was ignoring him mid, but I was playing Necrophos so he took damage from my aura nonetheless, and I was credited for assists :P But I reported them anyways, I know it was very frustrating for their teammates.

Happened to me few times, mostly in the opposite team. I don't want to make prejudices, but all of them were Russians, and their team told us, they only spoke Russian which equals: "refuses any type of communication". They were talking Russian, so they were communicating, but that was EU West with marked "English" only, so they could as well talk in Chinese.

I know some Russians that are really good players and their English is pretty good as well. This is often a indicator to me. I see a small connection between speaking English and decent playstyle.

Report is the only option. You can also report their Steam account, but I am not sure if it has any impact. Once I reported some guy, because he was doing Auschwitz references just because I am from Poland, and even though I provided screens, made Steam report, Dota report - nothing happened.

P.S. That's interesting when I think about it, because I remember exactly Bloodseeker who was sending couriers to us, and he was an intentional feeder. Pretty weird, huh?

Was it recently? Maybe it is the same guy, because we weren't in the same match apparently.
