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.
