Can we restrict PBE access to those who are diamond and above?

I'm playing worse in my ranked games because of playing on PBE so much where most people there are worse than bronze.

Not sure why Riot would want terrible players testing out new changes anyways. It's terrible data to go on.

Also Totally fucking blew over this arguement when making my first post

Why the fuck are you trying to take what is essentially a Bug Testing server seriously in games?

Because more or less PBE is mainly for bug-fixing than actual balance?

Because lets be honest, If you want balance testing, Thats why we have semi-regular patches?

Because why would we need to constantly patch if we actually did balance testing in PBE? . #BECAUSE WHY WOULD WE DO SOMETHING SO RIDICULOUS!?

edit: Also, can we talk about how you'd get removed too?

I test stuff on the PBE, and I report bugs. Don't have to be diamond or above to notice when a champion's walking animation on a particular skin turns into them sliding around like a chess piece.

Riot did say PBE is a very unreliable source for champ strength.

No, because the PBE isn't used for balance testing its used for bug testing.

don't blame pbe players for your not performing as well in ranked games... that's on you bud. pbe is a testing grounds for new content and finding bugs. sounds like you're the kinda of person that made me stop wanting to play on pbe, a tryhard who gets annoyed and frustrated when people aren't playing well. its a testing ground, lighten up

I would think PBE is still a decent place to find out if certain changes are inherently broken.

Ornn could have used some pre-release buffs so he wasn't as underwhelming.

can we ban players automattically once they reach diamond 4 ? so no one who is "good " at this game can have any say in it what so ever...

And I'm sure Challenger tiers would do a better job at finding bugs than a diamond.
