Riots grave lack of testing before throwing out season 6

I honestly can't tell that they did any kind of beta for this patch, you have adcs who are ridiculously strong to the point assassins have no chance against em, you have tanks that wont die, tahm kench alone can get near 6k health with his abilities translates to 12k. mundo does as he pleases and literally can't die unless operator error occurs on a grand scale....... mages seem useless allgame. no way to gain mana other than waiting around like a retard, mana potions weren't hurting anyone. the speed of the game is fucking terrible power spikes no longer have much meaning as there is no tie to really take advantage of them when the game moves so fast , people having 2-3 complete items before 20 mins

edit: hah so fucking overpowered, just had a 15 min game, was wining bot all of a sudden they snowball and win in less than 3 minutes....... riot your fucking stupid changes werent even tested were they? just throwing out new shit without a thought as to how it impacts the game, good job

PBE is not for balance. It is for finding bugs.

Beta test != balance

Beta test is designed to catch bugs. So that riot can attempt to fix them. Riot has said this in the past. The PBE is too small a sample size to collect significant data for balance. Also, many players on the PBE, who fiddle with the new material, may not be playing to win. (or even know the optimal builds) So it Wouldn't even be accurate data.

Riot can only get enough balance data, after the patch hits live. (It's still pre season) this is not a hard sign on what the next season will be like.

so where do they get their testing from? why make us suffer through shitty game after shitty game because they failed to do their homework?
