Question on getting a PBE account

Hello fellow board-browsers. I just had a question i was hoping one of you could answer. I've been playing since Vel'koz came out (not that long but a decent while) and was trained and taught to be a support. That became my main, but i eventually began playing and now play every role and whoever i find fun. Being a support, I hated ranked. Solo-que was awful and no one wanted to duo with an unranked support main, nor did any of my friends want to play as a team, so i naturally grew a dislike of ranked, and don't play it much, even though now i can do much better in it in other roles. Anyways, so i applied for a PBE account around 2014 URF time (or somewhere around there) and was just wondering if rank is a big factor? If so I'll just go grind out some placement games and then get a decent rank, but I just had to ask if it was, as I never play ranked, and usually stick to normals, ARAMs, or featured game modes with my friends. If rank isn't a factor, anyone have any advice on how to make my account more desirable for a PBE account? I've been told they don't like people who play a ton of champs and swap roles a bunch, so that could be a problem. I just want to be able to test out the cool new stuff and help out with the testing process. If this comes across as a whiny post, sorry. Just thought I'd ask for some advice. Shaco (<- it's the closest to a smiley face i could get without typing an emoji, which i didn't want to do)

i heard they might accept for whoever has something at the time? like MF has a V.U but if you play her you might get accepted. idk really

I recall reading somewhere that they consider platinum and upward to have valuable feedback and anything below that isn't important to them, so probably platinum and up. Yeah, technically below platinum has some value, but I'd imagine they say that to make Gold and below not feel like they're completely irrelevant when it comes to feedback.

I'm kind of in the same boat, i'd like a pbe account to help debug and such but i feel like 1) i play too many champs and roles to be selected for a specific reason and 2) i'm unranked.

I have a pbe account and its not as cool as you think it is. i played it like 3 times. Most of the time I only use it to play champs that I dont own and see if i would like them XD.
