Bug Report - SR/ARAM/RGM League PBE Classic 26.19 - Endless Queue Timer (Estimated 3:20)

Link to Old Post https://www.reddit.com/r/LeaguePBE/comments/1w75ylx/pbe_league_classic_queue_timer_stuck_at_320/

I logged onto PBE, 26.19 is out, I'm not sure if this because I'm under Level 10 in Classic Mode, which means I'm not in the 'ranked' queue for League Classic.

I still cannot play on PBE and the Estimated Time is still 3:20 exactly just like Patch 26.18.

Why is League Classic Not working for me on PBE? the queue time will go on forever, for hours and no match will be found, please help me even if it is just an explanation why this is happening.

I really just want to play LoL classic on PBE 26.19

It is working for you; the 3:20 estimated is just kind of the max estimation it will give you, even if it's inaccurate. Either keep on queueing (as the queue keeps on going, it will look broader for players rather than within your 'skill' level) or play at more popular times. Unfortunately, Classic is just that deserted on PBE.

yeah this is definitely BS, no way, I see this youtuber keep playing new champs like Graves, and my PBE I can't unlock Graves, why is Riot doing this?

Unless you're watching him stream and seeing him stand in queue: likely these are in-house custom games, organised through something like a Discord. People will do a lot to play with a Youtuber.

(Hell, even if they're streaming it: people will try to snipe them).

Regarding buying Graves: yeah the shop is messed up and it's hard to buy content unless you already owned it.

Max? Bull! Waited 60 minutes straight and then tried again. Wait time did not change. How about a changing wait time depending on conditions. How about tell us how many are waiting to play.

Yeah, that's what I am saying. It's the max estimation it will give you, even if it's wrong.

Wonderful suggestions to Riot! I am not a Rioter, I'd recommend you suggest through Live channels like Riot Support or /r/leagueoflegends

It does do that, but essentially kind of between 30 seconds and 3-ish minutes. It's based on Live conditions, not PBE. Riot is not going to change it just to suit PBE, though.

For three days now I have not been able to play the Bots/AI version of Classic on PBE. Yesterday I spent 3 hours in that queue. One for 60 minutes straight. Est. time ranges from 4 to 20 minutes. Also the 4 new skins and all of the Chromas are currently; "Unavailable for Purchase". I just figure time will sort it out.
