What counts as griefing vs feeding in Overwatch?

Got reported in comp because I died a lot on a hero I'm still learning. One person called it feeding, another said griefing. Is there an actual difference between the two, or do people just throw the words at anyone having a bad game? Don't want my account flagged for learning a new hero.

Feeding is just dying a lot, usually walking in alone or on cooldown, and it's mostly a skill thing. Griefing is doing it on purpose or otherwise trying to lose. Someone throwing themselves off the map, refusing to touch the objective, or deliberately walking into the enemy over and over to give them ult charge. Only report the second one, under gameplay sabotage. A bad game isn't reportable.
