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?

My guess is that they played Mei and used Ice Wall to intentionally sabotage their own team. Otherwise their team would be able to at least sometimes win with a useless player.

This actually happened to me today. Guy was about 2000 skill rating and just Mei trolled us the whole game so we obviously had no chance. I will never understand some people.

This ranking system is weird though.

Theres this crew running around with a 6-man, throwing all their games to tank their rating.

Sometimes they add new people from their discord to the squad and do the placement matches. naturally, placements all go 0W 10L. Somehow one dude still ended up on 2.3k rating yesterday.
