LMK in the comment

Cus Riot think PBE is enough to test some shit out and release it

Wonder why everything always come out either super OP or super WEAK

And I wonder why 99% of the time people play new Champ they feed every time

GOOD THING WE HAVE

PBE

Because they are a little more concerned with Bugs, that with balance. (unless it's some how painfully obvious) And chances are, the people on the PBE may not be playing with a competitive nature. (They may just be screwing around, either because they can, or they are trying everything, like a real QA tester.) And in a balance sense, one week is not enough time to really figure out the most competitive (or OP) builds.

In short, the PBE is not even used for live balance. (Riot said this) Live balance is base on the performances on the live servers.

PBE is meant to find bugs with the new content before it goes to live. We are not balance testers.

They figure out what kind of balancing needs to be done the 1st or 2nd patch cycle after something goes live.

The PBE is not really used as an accurate testing ground since there is no way to gauge player skill in it.

I have a PBE account (I'm not too sure if it's still active though) but I generally stop using it because people don't use it as a means to test thing and just a means to get free things. It just got annoying. It doesn't help that when new things do come out they always disable customs so you cannot even test things by yourself!
