PBE Parties are Broken
The PBE party system is broken. I think this is because client's are not updating/synchronized with the server. I can replicate it 100%.
Party of 2 people:
- P1 creates party
- P1 cannot invite P2
- P2 can join the party (if it's set to open)
- P1 cannot see P2 in the party, but P2 can see P1 in the party
- P1 changes gamemode
- P1 and P2 can see each other
- Change back gamemode to the gamemode you want to play
- Play!
Party of 3 people:
- P1 creates party
- P2 joins, Same behaviour (P1 cannot see P2 but P2 can see P1)
- P3 joins (similar behaviour (P1 cannot see P2 or P3, but P3 can see both P1 and P2, but P2 can only see P1)
- P1 switches gamemodes, and thus sees everyone. HOWEVER, the other player, P2, cannot see P3 yet.
- Switch gamemode back.
- Start gamemode.
- We all get Q pops but...
- We all accept -> 1 person's client 'hangs'. They are stuck on match accepted. The other 2 players get another Q pop (because another player wasn't ready), and then the client hangs for everyone.
From what I notice, when I change gamemode, the client that changes the gamemode gets synched with the server, but the other players DO NOT (at least player wise). A player joining a party does not prompt the other side to update.
Hope Riot can fix this soon!

EDIT: the player chat on the side is kinda sporadic and doesn't update (i.e Featured Game, 3/5 when the party has already disbanded)
