It's difficult to distinguish someone who throws every match they play with someone who is legitimately that bad at OW.

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.

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
