Major issue with PBE

So Riot releases a new champion, tells you to go test it on PBE. You download the PBE, update and get into a que. 5 minutes later you get into the lobby just to realize that literally every other player in the game is ready to lock them in. Someone is unhappy and dodges, and your 5 minute que turns into 30 before you either get into a game playing a champ you would regularly play live or your client lags out and makes you skip accepting a que, restarting the whole process.

At least let there be an option for bots or no limits? This is beyond stupid.

I just expect that honestly. My issue with the PBE is that they still charge RP for skins but haven't fixed their RP system on there. So IDK how you're intended to try out new skins without RP to "buy" them. I'm not wasting my money on essentially a worse version of the LoL servers. :/

My biggest issue is that it's a mode designed for actually testing the game, but no one can even play in the first place. It's an easy fix but Riot has avoided making the small changes they'd need to actually make the game work for the purposes of the actual client.

Even just blind pick would fix some of it.
