It's time to retire the PBE

The PBE exists purely to test changes, and get feedback.

Based on Ekko being release (after everyone said he was broken as shit) and now Fiddlesticks being fucked over with the new AP jungle item and Magus being removed.

For those that don't know, basically now intead of Magus (80 AP + 20% CDR) AP junglers now get 40 AP and a small AoE sheen proc.

"Fuck AP Caster junglers, and most importantly, fuck Fiddlesticks" -Riot Head Designer and Head of Gameplay Balance

Everyone on the PBE tells Riot that this is going to screw Fiddle and many others, and instead of just having 2 AP jungle items (you know, like Devourer and Warrior for AD...) Riot is going to lessen diversity.

Remember when season 5 was supposed to be all about diversity, especially in the jungle? Literally every patch has done the opposite, and almost every patch the PBE told Riot that the changes were bad. Warwick saw play for a week and is now unplayable. But Lee, Vi, J4, and Rek'Sai got to dominate for a month before being very slightly nerfed. Now in the tank meta we see Gragas and Sejuani, and Rek'Sai again, getting to rape everyone for 2 months before being slightly nerfed.

It's is obvious that Riot is showing favoritism, and they need to own up to it. Warwick saw decent play for a week, instant gut. Sejuani has a 70% banrate and 60% winrate? Nah, don't touch her much.

Now, with even more "Diversity" Fiddlesticks will be 100% unplayable. And actually, plenty of off-meta AP junglers are being screwed too with less AP. On Akali for example, I would much rather prefer 40 more AP and just get Lichbane for my Spellblade proc. If this new item goes through, I probably won't be able to play Kassadin jungle anymore. And so much for AP Cho'Gath, since I don't even use the E since my QW and R nuke.

On a side note, while we're talking about favoritism, Zilean is still sitting in the gutter waiting to be playable. He and his friends Elise and Yorrick would really like to finally come out and get played again.
