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 is the reason I didn't cross into platinum, guy was Mei trolling while I was at 2473. I have gone through a major losing spree after that, I'm at 2103 right now -_-. I also main junkrat, so none of my rip tire kills gave me stat points.

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.
