Why is there no rewards for people who report and get people in trouble?

Riot always sends a thank you message when you report people and they take action. I've helped riot with at least 30 people this season alone, for people trolling as in giving up and running down mid, watching towers fall from the side and refusing to move and do anything, going afk, admitting to boosting, etc. And it seems kind of weird that all you get is a thank you? You get rewards for being honorable, so why not help riot clean their servers from people no one wants in their games because it ruins it for all the other 9? I understand that this would be hard to balance, but you'd think after getting 25, 50, 100 etc you'd get some kind of icon or capsule. Plus if riot did this people would actually care more about reporting and more and more people would step down from doing this. But also the consideration people would report anyone just because someone said "ez" when they won and then get mad at riot for not banning them, the report system would most likely have to be revamped and riot would have to press to people what is reportable/punishable and what isn't.

You mean aside from the obvious?

That people would start reporting everyone in every game? "Oh but then you can punished people for false report". Then people would stop reporting defeating the IFS ability to sort out false and valid reports...

I don't see any reason to incentivize reporting players; you're only supposed to do that when your experience has been worse than what you wanted.

People would report everybody for anything. You clicked a button and it took you 2 seconds dude, relax.

reporting is a tool to reduce toxicity or cheating, not a bounty system.

If somebody engages in nominally toxic chat that doesn’t particularly affect me, I’d feel dishonest about reporting them.

Rewards for triggering punishments could also promote baiting and headhunting.

The player being punished is enough of a reward

Well I have reported 22 people in 6 years of playing. People already way overuse the report button. A bad game is not trolling or inting. Out of my 22 reports, only 3 of them were for inting. 1 was for botting and the rest were for negativity or verbal abuse. Why don't you ever look at the match history of said trolls? Almost all of them probably either are just having a bad game or they are flat out a bad player.

Reason# 1221 why the 'notification when someone you reported gets punished' is a bad thing: It makes people feel entitled to more.

If people got rewards for punishments they'd generate then each and everyone of them would report everyone in the game after each game "just in case", regardless of end game result. Is that what you want?

Since we have some angry people posting in this thread, let me add some common sense.

Reports when they are banned by MANUAL REVIEW by Riot would be sufficient for a reward, like a lootbox and key. for the person who submitted the support ticket. No real drawback to that, since every single person can contact Riot anyway, and most people simply don't have the patience or suffer from too much ADHD to fill out a form and explain "What happened."

Blizzard has sometimes sent loot boxes out randomly to people who file valid reports. One time I got 2 loot boxes for 2 reports on blatant toxic smurfs/boosters intentionally flaming and destroying people in low bronze elo then intentionally throwing the game to drop SR.

You want a reward for being a snitch? Back in my days your reward was a fist in the face.
