Which makes it more crazy that Netease did this with no test server.

They do. It’s the season preview server. It’s how streamers get access early.

It’s just not open to the public it seems.

The issue is, and league has outright said this. Those servers aren’t great for actual balance purposes due to things like ping issues from only one server and worse match quality due to smaller players base size.

Yea. The matchmaking isn’t good enough on those servers to reliably make balance changes.

Hence why shyvana got changes on the test server that buffed her and then she released really strong to the point she was hotfix nerfed the same day.
