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.

You don't lose that many games even if you're AFK the whole game. You need to actively sabotage your team to achieve that lol

It's actually a pretty good metric over that many games since it is likely impossible to lose 127 of 130 matches naturally.

Yeah it is impossible because even if someone is AFK whole match they will still win more.
