int mode

Intentionally feeding in a competitive game — running into the enemy on purpose to die and benefit them, usually to grief teammates. 'Int' is widely used in League of Legends, Dota 2, and other MOBAs. On Twitch, accusations of 'inting' fly in chat any time a streamer's play looks self-destructive. Reportable behaviour in most games.

Short for 'intentional feed' in competitive games — running into the enemy to die on purpose. Used as both verb ('don't int') and noun ('that was a hard int'). Twitch chat uses 'int' loosely for any bad death, not just genuinely intentional ones, which annoys players who insist on the original strict meaning.

The state of operating with raw, unfiltered intensity — zero hesitation, pure instinct, no regard for looking cool or pacing yourself. Animal mode is what happens when someone stops thinking and starts performing on pure adrenaline and muscle memory. Athletes go animal mode in the final quarter when the game's on the line. Gym heads flip into animal mode on a heavy deadlift day. Gamers hit animal mode when they stop overthinking and just frag everything in sight. It's the mental state where technique gives way to absolute aggression, and somehow it works better than anything calculated.
