Stop making snap judgments.

I know this is a moot point, but guys, be patient.

As much as you might hate the PBE, the PBE DOES actually give incredibly useful feedback. It's not just the "useless free content" pit that people claim, no matter what you believe. Balance changes are constantly made regarding the most important kind of feedback in terms of balance - numbers.

Are community points neglected there? Yes, maybe too much so. Maybe they can give some more time to their players there and at least contextualise things better. But is it really a zero feedback environment? No; the feedback is all internal. And often, the player base is simply making ignorant (meaning they simply don't know, not as a derogatory term) snap calls such as, "Ahri is gutted now."

Let's be honest. Who would reeeeeeally want the PBE trashed and all champions/rew items/reworks released to live without testing and wait for an entire patch before any balance changes were made? Would you want Tahm Kench released so his AP build Devour did 60+% max HP damage in one go for an entire patch? Or would you reeeeally like Garen reworked and released to live on his first PBE iteration? What about Ekko released to live in his first iteration where his W damage was even higher?

Making a snap judgment about a champion before it's even been played is ignorant, rude, and often entirely misinformed. The fact of the matter is, we honestly have zero idea right now how well these reworks will perform, and how the introduction of a new armour item in conjunction with nerfs on other items will fare, and how much adding base armour will help. We don't know.

So let's be civil and hold discussions of changes rather than blind assertions that a change will be "OP as $#@%" or "absolute trash."

Down vote to your heart's content.
