I Remember New Champions/Reworks used to be on PBE for more than One Cycle

Sugar Momma··1 votes·329 views

It seems almost every time a new champion is released or a major rework comes live, that they are either quite underpowered or overpowered. I remember in the past, like for Sona and Soraka 's (the one in S5) reworks, they were on the PBE for a couple patch cycles before they were shipped live. Not saying that balance releases were always perfect in the past, but why have we moved past this model of doing things? Was it because it didn't work?

Cause they only care if it's balanced enough for LCS. and has skillshots to make flashy plays.
