Making a riot PBE account is such a non intuitive process, riot needs to update their websites.
I wanted to try PBE > Launcher tells me it requires a PBE account and to learn more > learn more website says theres no seperate PBE launcher > click "head to sign up" page > it asks you if you already have a riot account and to log into ur riot account > click "sign up for PBE" > download to the PBE ?? > Install > Back to launcher that tells me it requires a PBE account.
And at no point did it prompt me to create a new PBE account. But it turns out that along the way you have to click "I dont have a riot account" (even though you do) to be prompted to create the PBE one.
I hope a dev reads it and maybe they fix the process. Cause like, yeah, you figure it out eventually and you all got on PBE so clearly it IS doable, but how many people got frustrated with the process and simply didnt make a PBE account because of it. How hard is it to change the wording of a prompt and save people going through a loop.
(They also dont want to bother with just letting you play PBE with ur main account because its too much work for them)
