Alright so I've recently been playing on the PBE servers again and did a few normal's and imediatly (spelled that wrong lol D first game had a troll then they followed and somehow (Not the same people) kept ending up on my team . But then I decided to do ranked instead did a few games first one went perfect but that's where it stopped, right after that my following 7 games of ranked I either had a troll, Leaver, or someone afk whole match. I don't know but I just wanna know your guys thoughts on the community and what we can do to try and clean it up at least a little. Also I
am so dead sick of this excuse "It doesn't matter It's PBE" Like really It does matter PBE is the same as the other servers and the meta never changed so I would like your guys own opinion and your comparisons to mine hopefully we can get something going (Doubt it though ) and clean it up but yeah let me know guys!

Personally I would like to think of PBE as another server.. not as something that doesn't matter. Just because it's for testing doesn't mean you shouldn't try to play. I am very competitive and always try my best, at the lower elos, yes there are a lot of trolls.. but gold and higher you start to be with the same people over and over again. I really like that about PBE and personally normals.... A LOT OF TROLLS.
I think Riot has their work cut out for them if they want to clear out the trolls. I do test things out on PBE a lot because that's what its there for. In my opinion trolling on PBE is worse than trolling on any other server, because of the fact that you shouldn't be on there unless you are trying to test out bugs and be a nice person in general. BTW riot there is a bug when you go to your profile and click leagues it shows Plat 1 "Miss Fortunes WeaponMasters" sometimes.. not too big a deal just thought I'd point that out

tl;dr Pbe should be taken more seriously than it is.. and there is a bug with showing your league

Yep, but if you climb to Gold then you're a "tryhard" in the eyes of all the trolls.

Agreed. People need to approach their play style as seriously as they do live. At least in ranked. Normals is normals. It's always flush with trolls and that'll likely never change.

As to the AFKers and the like - there's so many people on PBE who are not from NA servers - they often have atrocious connections. Now - granted these people shouldn't play ranked, but as Riot states often - PBE is for everybody. Thankfully, PBE doesn't actually matter per se - your rank could be reset at any given point in time should Riot need to test something or do a total server reset for some reason. That's no reason to not advance, though - as higher tiers need testing as well to ensure the ranked system is working properly.

TL;DR
OMG Trolls!
Hey, you're from Indonesia? That's cool. Don't play ranked plz thx
Your rank can disappear at any moment, but it's important to have people at those tiers to test the tier system.

Trolls are an issue, definitely.

However, you can do your part in removing the trolls or toxic players by reporting them after the game. They will be removed from the PBE as long as you are reporting them for their behavior, trust me.

Sadly, there's not much more I can give you in terms of advice or help, just report them and they should eventually be removed, I'm sorry for your negative experience.
