@Riot, random quick question: Would you ever consider incentivizing finding bugs like the Gragas Q?

Title, basically.

I know you guys get driven MAD when edge cases happen, because the issue can be as simple as a (<) rather than a (<=) somewhere thousands of lines away from where you'd think the problem is.

That said, these edge cases do happen from time to time, for different reasons. When they DO happen, someone will make a bug report, but the reports are generally "this happened" rather than "here's how you reproduce it." Furthermore, people generally don't go hunting down HOW these bugs work unless they stumble upon reproduction steps by coincidence.

That said, would you ever consider incentivizing finding these bugs? "Hey, here's the known bug. We don't know how to reproduce it. We'll give the person who figures it out first 3,000 RP."

I think it could possibly encourage people to go run around testing and finding bugs, which could lead to faster fixes. But that's just me. I just figured I'd ask. :)

Or maybe Riot could add a Sandbox mode to help people find these bugs easier. Because, even though I've found a recall/TP visual bug, I have no idea how to recreate it and don't have the friends to try in Custom.

I believe they have PBE for this.

True, but that's to find the bugs before they hit live. You would still have to try to find and recreate the bug in a match, which can be tough to do for the same reason it's tough to do it in the normal client.

Honestly a kha zix. Summoner icon for successfully finding a bug would be cool
