Is there any way to report/avoid players who intentionally throw?

I really wish there was a way to chastise people that throw but bad words are worse than going out of your way to ruin other people's experience apparently

I just had this happen to me twice in a row. I managed to take screenshots of the second person and reported them. This is the first time I've encountered this problem and it's pretty frustrating. I can handle it when people just don't know what they're doing or get glory-thirsty for kills and forget it's a team game. I can even handle it when people spam nice job and good match at moments where people have made mistakes.

But people just outright standing still and doing nothing on purpose or stay in the spawn area and walk around... it's not fun getting hammered 4 v 5.

Edit: Got a reply from the GM's, really really fast response actually. I'm grateful for that at least!

Oh it's even more rage inducing when you get into Plat, Diamond, and Crystal. You won't even have the 0 damage and 0 healing output obvious one's, you'll have what others describe as the "hit-a-switch" win-trading. I've seen:
- monks/sam's/reapers getting doubled/tripled in damage output by a healer/tank
- diamond blm's doing same damage I am on bard
- going 1v5 and getting 1-2 skills off before death, ignoring several retreat and regroup pings
- whm walking around and not casting in a 2v1 instead of helping to kill someone who got caught out, but after that person escapes, joins the group to act like they want to help again
- feeding the entire match and botching important LB's like PLD to hold a crystal for respawn timers in overtime/near the end of the match
- ppl legitimately playing worse than bronze 3, but then come back 2-3 games later to be unkillable tanks running through people and the funny part is that you can't get to Plat, especially Diamond without being somewhat consistent. You may have an off game, but you never go straight garbage even as an off-role, let alone your main job you come back to dominate on. These jobs aren't complicated enough for you to completely swing that wide. You may go down to Gold-skill on an off-role, but not Bronze-tier.

I normally give people the benefit of the doubt given the fact that sometimes when I stream and I have enough devices running, I've been hit with lag spikes in the middle of a pvp match for 20-30s that left me frozen/no1 on my screen is updating and then it catches up later and im dead, so I normally give it like 2-3 matches and im watching them the entire match to see the consistency of that bad performance not only in the match but later on as well.

GMs do respond quickly but it's just a canned response saying they'll "Look into it". There's a PVP "task force" that's made up of I think, one person and his cat, and they have to deal with the log of research for more important things like what they're having for dinner. Only if there's a LOT of complaining and a lot of evidence do they actually do something about the problem. But it's weird because video evidence isn't accepted (can be spoofed, as if someone would go to the trouble...it's not like photoshop, folks).
