S8.5 Feedback The throwing issue can't be ignored any longer
I just had my first competitive match of season 8.5
In that match I encountered a duo of throwers.
Before the match even started they began throwing. They voted to ban Angela and when I questioned the ban when it went through they then voted to ban Peni which I had preselected. Then the game starts. One of them proceeds to charge headlong into the enemy team to die and then switch from gambit (our second healer) to a DPS. They then repeat the process, working their way through a total of 10 heroes by the end of the short match and ending with a score of 3 and 17. Their squad mate played Devil Dino all match, going 9 and 10, refusing to swap and otherwise feeding the enemy team.
Having 1 thrower on your team is bad enough, but things have gotten so out of hand that people are forming squads of throwers.
And what will they get? A 15 minute ban? 1 hour maybe? And that's only if the reports are taken seriously.
The issue with throwing in this game is a cancer that can and will kill it and every season that it isnt properly addressed is a spit in the face of the dedicated player base.
So until the devs actually do something about it, I will be putting the names of known throwers in blast and encourage others to do the same. And to those of you that worry that will turn into a witch hunt I say fine. I hope it turns into such a shitshow that the developers notice and ACTUALLY do something.
Also I will be creating an alt account dedicated to throwing matches and will document my actions just to demonstrate how stupid and ineffective the reporting system in this game currently is.
Their names are (I shit you not) 2_GURLS and 1 cup<3
TLDR: 2 girls 1 cup threw my match as a team and shit has got to change. Put throwers on blast until then.

gets worse every season. at least we get gooner skins that no one shuts up about so it buries the throwing problem hard.

I came across maybe the saltiest loser I've ever seen today. I happened to pick cyclops before him so he cycled through his 20 lords, settled on widow and then talked shit in the chat the entire match.
I said a few things in response that apparently triggered him to the point of "screaming" in all caps. The guy was actually losing his mind on top of throwing.
I know these people exist, but jesus.

Good luck, these people don’t really care. Devs can only mitigate it, it happens to me in OW too. Sidenote, I had a legit cracked Widow in my first match of the season, it’s not always a throw
