It's Not SERIOUS, People are not playing SERIOUS, Attack speed Nautilus support, Ryze on hit jungle, Malzahar Tank, Those people aren't testing! Rework champion banned!? in RANKED PBE!? Who the hell ban REWORK champion? YOU PLAY THE PBE TO TEST THEM NOT BAN THEM? Constant people leaving games, dodging and still not punished. People complaining about Builds such as AP shaco, on hit shaco, Attack speed shaco, or any off meta build, Riot decide to nerf those build, New champion claiming being op when they actually aren't op, for exemple Ivern was nerfed before he was even RELEASE!

The PBE is mainly used to check bugs and ensure the balance isn't a total mess.

Even if people tried to be serious, there's just not enough players and the matches are so imbalanced that it still wouldn't provide good data.

PBE is used to check that there's no game breaking bugs... Like when I had no CDs on my Lux good old times but I did report it before it went live lol. There's no way you can determine the balance of a new kit without letting go on the live servers for several weeks. People need to get used to it and you need a large sample population.
