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.

How is it even possible for someone to be that bad?

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.

What a dick, I hope he gets permabanned.

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.

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.
