Why players using cheat still not ban?

  Depends on a few factors, but most importantly it depends on if the player is actually cheating and how backed up the team is with reports to sift through and investigate. Kabam has significantly improved over the last couple years with how they punish and/or remove accounts that have cheated and they do regular sweeps to clear the leaderboards. However, with the easy report function in BGs it has also resulted in a significant increase in false reports because players are salty or don't understand how champs work, so they have more reports than they should to get through while trying to find the legitimate cheaters.
  At the end of the day, Kabam is not going to speak about a players account with anyone aside from that player. You can ask for updates all day long, but you won't get them. If the player is cheating, Kabam will find out and take appropriate action.

  The gap between the season ending and the rewards coming up is bc kabam are checking all the accounts for cheating I'm sure they will see you reports then if they didn't see them already

  What reason do you have to think someone cheated?
  
  Obviously don’t post their account info, but maybe you just got beat.

  Noted about salty players… but it’s really frustrating to see after a hard engagement, preventing KO and still need to maintain higher health… to see u lose coz oppenent win n have health at 99.5% or 100%!
  
  The best part is they lose the first match and subsequent 2nd n 3rd match have more than 90% health! I’ve to engage like 3 duel and after seeing their game profile to understand I’ve been F…
  
  Damn annoying!

  sounds like you are likely just getting beat fair and square.
  you have not presented anything that indicates any kind of cheating whatsoever
  having 90% hp or more is very possible for many players in almost any fight.
  losing rnd 1 and then winning 2 and 3 is something that happens a lot.
  sometimes they had a bad fight.
  sometimes it strategy deliberately choosing a matchup to eliminate certain champs,
  throwing a match they know they can't win but setting up the draw for favorable rnd 2 and 3 matchups.

  Out of curiosity… is there any effect when you report a mod BG player?
  
  I keep track and it seem it’s daily business for them after 5 days😬
  
  Anyone know?

  Because they are done in batches & many reports are fake . If u see a high end account chances are they aren't modding as kabam are more active not in giving bans .
  Which case u report show proof ??

  So players ending fights with high health are cheating? How exactly does that work? Because you can't manage to finish with full health? Can players not lose the first match because it's a bad matchup or because they made a mistake? Sometimes I throw a round just to get rid of a matchup because I know I am better setup for other rounds.
  A players ability to end with high health is also a significant indication of player's skill because it shows they know how to not get hit. Now, if that player is at 100% health and ended the fight in 15 seconds, you've got some ground to stand on.
  But now it sounds like the 2 reasons I pointed out for false reports (being salty and/or not understanding how champs work) is why you've been reporting players, clogging up the pipeline for Kabam to find real cheaters.

  I often win fights at 90-100% health. Don’t need to cheat to do that.

  If this is your only proof that someone is cheating then I hate to break it to you but they aren't getting banned for that.
