int vs feed

Intent. Feeding is dying a lot; inting is dying on purpose. One is a complaint, the other is an accusation.

int

"Int" is short for intentionally feeding: losing on purpose. It is a heavy accusation, and a reportable offence. It fits a player running into the enemy tower, refusing to play, or wrecking the game after an argument.

feed

"Feed" describes the outcome, not the will: you die, they collect the gold and experience. A player who feeds is struggling, tilted, or simply outmatched. It happens to everyone, good players included.

Why they get mixed up

Both describe the same picture — someone dying over and over — which is why they get mixed up. But calling a feeder an inter accuses them of sabotage: the answer is almost always flame, and the game falls apart faster than the scoreline. When in doubt, "feed" is the right word.
