I don’t understand why draft pick/ranked are unavailable on PBE. How is Riot supposed to know what to balance without ban data? Matchmaking is also not balanced without a ranking system.
PBE isnt for balance data, riot has stated this sooo many times, its for bug reporting. There is no balance data to gain from a korean challeneger laning vs a japanese iron player
Blind pick = no bans on new champ No bans on new champ = more games played of champ More games played of champ = More bug reporting
PBE is for marketing and testing, its not a competitive server. Allowing people to ban the new champ on PBE just is pointless.
They did have at one point what I called the “Blaft Pick” mode. You select your role a la Draft but there’s no bans and there’s mirror matchup potential like Blind. Something like that for this could help especially seeing as what they just removed was… Blind Pick, ironically.
