a curious example of linguistic convergent evolution is the term "inter," meaning:
Prefix of Latin origin that defines connections between different things; for instance, intergalactic means relating to two or more galaxies (1).
Verb of Old French origin meaning "to bury in the earth or a grave" (2).
Noun of League of Legends origin, more commonly used as the verb "inting" meaning to intentionally* feed oneself to the opposing team by taking on disadvantageous fights and dying (3).
1 and 2 are related in the sense that life and death are different states of being that life forms traverse, and the grief/joy left behind is shared by those who mourn the dead
2 and 3 both involve dying
3 and 1 are related in the sense of teamwork between individuals (or lack thereof)
*Although the term "inting" originally refers to "a conscious effort to lose," over time players have ascribed it to those who "die excessively" and otherwise play badly (3), whether or not they know the intent of the foolish player. The term is also used in a lighthearted way, such as joking with one's teammates or about oneself (4). This subtle broadening of meaning is an example of semantic change (5).

Can people stop flaming off meta picks in normals?
I get being salty if someone is bad or plays off meta in ranked, but normals are for fun. As long as someone isn't deliberately feeding, let them play whatever.
