PBE accounts

lunnainn·Oct 7, 2016·1 votes·996 views

I've been looking for joining PBE for a few years, and I've tried joining PBE through my EUNE account signup. I've literally never heard anything since, and I'm wondering if there's even spots open? I'm playing league literally every single day, I'd be so down to test out stuff (even with my 110ping), and I'd love to actually be able to join up on streamers PBE-games as well. I genuinely think that if I'd get a PBE, I'd play more on that than on my "real" account - which I'm atm up with like 3500 SR games, over 1000+ ARAMs, and whatnot. Is there somewhere I can turn in order to get an account, because nothing is happening on the pbe-signup page - or is there just not spots open at all?

(EUNE account is the same name as here on NA, Lunnainn).

I feel you, friend T_T It halfway feels like the signup page is down, and there's really another way to get accounts :(

I was actually let into the PBE and unless you play ranked it feels like you're playing with headless chickens or people streaming for youtube early access.

Some of the most uncoordinated games I've ever been in were on the PBE so I just stopping using it.

I dont mind "the headless chickens" thing, it's like playing blind pick on EUNE. Usually not playing blind pick though, but still - I dont mind that the least.

If you ever get in, just prepare for some real bad plays.

This thread has inspired me to redownload the PBE client shell, update and give it another try.

The invites are mostly random, though they do select players that fit their testing criteria sometimes (such as Ryze mains for the yearly Ryze update). You also may be ineligible if you've received any behavioral punishments. Other than that, all you can do is wait. You could get it next cycle, you might never get it.

Yeah, I'm clear, got the friendly-icon-reward and all. I would've thought that "excessive playing" would kinda let you in anyway, even if you're "just playing support" etc., just cus of how much you play.. you know? Like, pretty decent experience on matchups, etc.

Besides, are you SURE the invites are random? I see almost the same people streaming pbe, like as if they never even "return" their accounts; like they got an account once and never had to "re-queue" for one, and some admit to never use them really.
