NOTE: this isn't a hack or anything this is for people who don't know what PBE is and the benefits of it. It's basically a guide to install the PBE (Public Beta Environment).
For those of you that don't know Riot has released beta testing for new patches. It is the same as normal LoL on a separate server (so you need a new account, and have no friends etc). What you get is 10,000 ip and 4,000 rp when you start and then again every Sunday. It's pretty awesome lol. Here's how to get it:
1. Make a new account
HERE (can be exactly the same as your regular account)
2. Download the .rar file (if you need it again it's
HERE
3. Extract .rar file to C:/Riot Games (make sure there are two folders, if not put the launchers in a new folder named LOLPBE)
4. Run lol.launcher or lol.launcher.admin and wait for patch
5. Log in (you will have 0 ip and 0 rp and be lvl 1, but don't worry)
6. Exit and log in again (if you still have nothing log in again in an hour. I promise it works!)
Note(s) from Riot:
What is the Public Beta Environment?
The Public Beta Environment is a test-centric realm used to find bugs before patches are released live. PBE is not a place for serious competition or a place to try out new champions. It is a test environment where our players can help report bugs and give us feedback on changes we are implementing before it goes on the regular servers. We are looking for patient players with strong attention to detail to help us out.
What am I supposed to be testing?
We generally will post what you will be testing in this subform. Currently we are testing features and various fixes that we are preparing for Season 2.
I found a bug, how do I report it?
First, look at your region's PBE sub-forum to see if anyone else has reported a similar bug. If so, please try to add to it, including a description of what happened and reproduction steps. If you are unable to find an existing post regarding the bug you have found, please refer to this thread on how to start your own:

Where can I chat with my fellow testers?
Come hang out in Public Chat 1 and share what you found with other players on PBE. Generally, you will find a few Rioters around as well who are happy to receive your feedback, answer your questions, and occasionally play a game with a few people in the channel.
You're welcome.
Don't forget to add thanks and rep (;
