If you do it, then give Riot some feedback. The main reason – except for looking at pretty skins, of course – to even have a PBE account is to test out stuff before it goes live. Like in the screenshot above, you can see that where the red arrow points, you can give feedback. Otherwise, you will go to your normal account).
