Title... also im very happy with the new jungle riot... TY and GJ

There are bugs and fixes that can happen there as well. And when changes are being made to ranked queue and champ select they want to make sure there are no bugs.

It is a PBE, and ranked can still have issues. So i dont know man, its really hard to think about why.

Just for those rare bugs for elo changes, I guess. Don't expect to get anywhere in it but, because from what I can guess most people on pbe are 200 elo on their main. (Anyone else just get that feeling? Pbe has really nasty people on it)

it is pretty pointless

In all seriousness:
1. they probably didn't feel like getting rid of an entire section of the game.(Lazy)
2. there are elo related bugs out there occasionally.
3. It's far more easy to take the patch from PBE to Live this way.
4. and last but not least, why not?
