(2019) Theatre mode would help getting afk boosters punished

Sure, you can just stream all your gameplay, but having theatre clips would make it easier to catch them.
Nobody wants to quit matchmaking to manually report people outside of the game, because there is no ingame report option.
Without theatre mode you can just tell, whats happening. With clips you can show it. Less false bans.

Could be so easy.

We have automatic tools that are detecting this behavior. Regardless of whether it's the in-game theater or GameDVR it's just not super practical for people to dig through and watch hundreds/thousands of clips for video evidence. The team is on this though and hopefully with the latest round of bans and the looming threat of more serious enforcement actions - along with DoubleXP for legit players - we'll see this issue die down.
