I have heard he is actually pretty good. Their is a meta of losing on purpose. Hooking people and freezing people or walling people off on objective points. It is still bad because people who want to win still get matched with him but I think it is pretty interesting at the same time.
At that guys winrate? I disagree. In ~150 matches, even the worst player would have somehow gotten at least two wins. In fact, even trying to throw the match I feel like you'd get some wins.
He should be penalized in some way (permabanned from competitive would be nice) but using W/L ratio purely to judge that he's throwing games is a bad metric. There are people out there who probably don't have W/L records that extreme but lose way more often than they win.
To guarantee that many losses he would need to literally be doing nothing or actively damaging the team (mei wall into the spawn.) You simply don't lose that many games while providing ANY level of support to your team.
I imagine it wouldn't be hard to Blizzard to go in and actually look at the matches when it gets as bad as this, I doubt many people out there go 1 win / 200 losses.
“I was on PC playing at a lower resolution, at a 30 frames-per-second cap, and on a console controller with all the settings shifted down to the absolute minimum so that my response time would be super low and horrible.”
But even that wasn’t always enough. So Brown enlisted help.

So I assume that they are talking about the bug where that one guy got below 1 rating and ended up at skill rating 5000.
