Tiny Rewards for Positive Players

The Taco Kat·Jul 6, 2016·11 votes·720 views

Every [x amount of time (perhaps every fourth patch (~8 weeks) or so?)] of not receiving any punishment or ban (this includes things such as LPQ and others), players will get a random small reward. It could either be like a "Spin the Wheel" thing where you have a chance to get various prizes (Gemstone (10% Chance), Hextech Chest (20%), Hextech Key (20%), Premium Chest (10%), Key Fragment (30%), Random Champion/Skin Shard (10%), etc.) or it can be a rotating reward similar to how the rotating gamemode queue works. This doesn't have to be an actual thing, it's just to help Riot get some small ideas to give periodically to the positive players of the community rather than their annual mystery skin or mystery champion.

Certainly an interesting idea to encourage behaving positively. However, I doubt they'll consider it. Afterall, positive behaviors are granted, they're how we're supposed to behave normally and not really something to take note on, whereas behaviors that induce punishment aren't supposed to happen at all and hence are capitalized on.

It isn't meant to actually go through by any means, but I still enjoy supplying Riot with new ideas from time to time (hopefully one will be noticed!) Also, they have done the free mystery skin and mystery champion before for positive players, just once every year instead.

Well it's simply positive reinforcement instead of just punishments. They've done similar things before, but not at the same extent.

IDK about you but I got spirit guard udyr at the end of last season for not being toxic. everyone who wasn't chat restricted or banned last season got a random skin. It may not be as often as you proposed, but riot is already doing something like that.

I mentioned this in the post near the end. I said to do the ones more often so the people can hear their friends talk about the cool shard or how about they got the new champion from it and they decide "hey, they are getting free stuff by just being a decent person. Maybe I should try it out and see how it goes." Instead of having to wait an entire season to get a reward, they get a little bonus that says "thanks for being a good sport; here's a little gift for putting up with those hard moments."

It's to promote reformation rather than promote being good for the last month or two.

I'm 50/50 on this, I don't really think we need to be rewarded for doing what is expected of us. It's like "Hey, you're not a flamer and rager, constantly ruining games for other people.have a cookie!" That should be the norm, imo.
