Because they're still working on it. They aren't going to release it if they're unsure if it's too weak or too strong. They need to make it fun, and balanced at the same time

That's not the reason. The PBE isn't for balancing something. The PBE is for testing a final product to ensure it is working as intended. Live ranked play is the scale Riot uses to measure if something is overwhelming or underwhelming.

Um yes. Testing exactly proving my point.. they won't release it if its an overpowered piece of crap that spikes his winrate to 70% will they? They won't release it with bugs will they? They won't release if the community doesn't like it will they?

Well it's early August now and we still are patiently waiting for the day the Monkey King returns from his vast journey to his golden throne. I can hear the nimbus cloud humming along as he rides with utmost haste from these distant lands. Only he knows when the time is right. Believe in the Monkey King for he is wise and upon his return will breach through the clouds with a screaming sonic boom so forceful that the League match will gaze upon the wondrous sight at the glory of the return of Wukong! Time, time is the only factor now. The golden throne begins to glow...

Because it's only had an appearance on PBE for testing and feedback.

Content on the PBE is NOT guaranteed to go Live.

Look at the Teemo changes, months of testing only to get iceboxed.

Because they prefered to bring the color changes on damage and magic damage to make them look like a damned mobile game than to change anything serious.

Teemo did have a mini re-work though. His passive was buffed, he can bounce his shrooms off each other etc.

Meddler explains most of it there but long story short the PBE one isn't the one we will be seeing. that one hasn't been balanced for live yet nor has it gotten any assets for the new stuff yet (his new Stone skin alone used the item 3193 active effect and he may be even getting a few new animations). They need to do some more work to it before it's ready for live, likely going to be a few months as they need to find artists to work on the new effects who are between work at the moment.
