- Inting is now used by fans of video games outside the context of league of legends and even in video games in general. It has a direct synonym, also developed by superstar tyler1. This synonym is the phrase “running it down”.
Inting
verb
Intentionally feeding, intentionally losing against the enemies in order to give them more resources with which to defeat your own team, also used as an insult in the sense of playing so badly that it looks intentional, can also simply mean doing anything so badly it looks purposeful
Etymology : a total blend of intentionally and feeding, inting was developed among the League of Legends player base, due to a popular streamer, tyler1. Tyler1 was notoriously toxic to teammates and created an INT list of other highly ranked players. This meant that he would intentionally feed when placed on a team with these players. His millions of fans then developed the term inting based on this.
