"Haha You Think Riot Uses the PBE for Testing"

For anyone who's browsing the boards, you can see on the top thread (No one is actually testing the AP items on the PBE) that a ton of the comments are people saying crap about Riot and stuff like "they don't actually pay attention to anything the players say" or "they don't pay attention to the PBE at all."

And I'd just like to step in and say that you guys give Riot too much crap. They're a game company, and while we're lucky enough to have some like Meddler and Repertoir visit the boards pretty often, not all of them have the opportunity to do so. They're trying hard for this stuff, and trust me, they definitely do pay attention to things the players say. You can't see it but there was a Riot post on the PBE where they specifically said they were delaying a skin set just because the players didn't think it was good enough.

You guys say Riot doesn't care, but they certainly do. I won't even attempt to stand for those who just use the PBE for free stuff and playing URF or trying useless stuff and never actually testing, but the PBE, Riot, and the players on the PBE that actually do their job are great people, and I honestly think they deserve better than you guys treat them often on the boards. People say the PBE is toxic but actually find the people who are there to do their jobs-- they're incredibly nice people and will do what they can to help you test whatever you need.

Also.

If you're not on the PBE.

You don't have the right to say "They don't pay attention to the PBE," because you have no way of actually telling what they do on there. I don't mean to sound mean, but honestly, guys.

[slayer-jinx-wink] Love ya, Riot. Keep up the good work.
