Riot said why they can not balance the game and it's very interesting.

Apparently they base themselves on numbers gathered fom the pbe however here is the issue :

They stated that :

people don't play seriously on the pbe
people on the pbe use strange builds
there aren't enough players on the pbe
the feedback from the pbe players is biased

example :

Riot want to buff twitch.

who is gonna play on the pbe ? Mostly twitch mains. The others are there fir 2 or 3 other characters.
because of that in the feedback they give says that even if the buffs are too high they seem balanced. So they'll finaly end giving biased buffs to twitch on live servers.

Here is a solution for you riot. Give 10 coins for each victory in the PBE when a player reachs 100 coins he will get a free skin on his real main account (with some limits). This will force players to play seriously and you'll get more people involved with you.

people don't play seriously on the pbe

Riot doesn't take the PBE feedback into consideration or seriously ever, so whats the point of doing this if they never intended to listen to begin with.

people on the pbe use strange builds

And why is this a problem, the PBE is there to find bugs, and you need to explore strange situations to find those bugs, to me this sounds like Riot doesn't know how to cater to a Meta that's not enforced?

there aren't enough players on the pbe

They have only themselves to blame for this one, getting onto the PBE is a hard task, they made it hard on purpose, only a select few are able to get on it so for them to say this.. psh... get real.

the feedback from the pbe players is biased

Straight up BS, they never listened to feedback from the PBE ONCE since the damn thing was created. They don't even take legit bug reports seriously on the PBE these days.

To me this sounds like straight up finger pointing from Riot. They are trying to shift the blame for the terrible state of the game on the PBE community when it was Riot's choice to shun the PBE community. it was Riot choice to ignore the negative feedback about everything thats been said about all these big changes. And it was Riot's choice to go through with these idea's despite the backlash.

And they have the fucking gull to say its the PBE's fault?

What. The. Fuck...

To be fair the reason they can't cater to a meta that isn't enforced is because there's not enough of a sample size to make a good decision on what is balanced and what isn't in this regard. You're not gonna see Dark Harvest Akali being played for over 500-1000 games. You probably won't even see it in 100 games. So if a bunch of people are saying "Dark Harvest Akali is broken and Akali needs a nerf!" on the PBE with a sample size of maybe 10 games, what are they supposed to do?

You literally only have to sign up now afaik.

Agree, but I think this is why they're telling us this.
