User blog:Dracko40/The Angry Illithid: Waiting for a tree of all things....

Bit a rant.

I like new patches. I really do. I like seeing new changes, checking out the new champion, and I love watching champion spotlights and pointing out stupid shit that Phreak does (lol). So you can imagine my reaction when the patch was delayed.

Now, this has happened before (kennen's patch comes to mind), so I didn't freak out too much. I figured I could live with waiting another day. So, there I am Tuesday night at around 8:00 pm (central time mind you) wondering where the notes/spotlight are. I decided to kill some time and ran some of the campaign in Warcraft III (I really love this game).

About 2 hours later, I thought "It's around 10ish, the notes should be up by now." So, on to the league site, clicked the announcments forum....no notes.

At this point I was getting a little irritated. I understand that the spotlight was delayed due to Youtube maintenance, and there's not much that Riot can do about that. But really? They had to delay the notes this damn much??!!? What, were they waiting for us to gush over the spotlight of Phreak running around as a walking tree throwing exploding roots everywhere (that sounds really strange when you think about it) before they would blow our minds with the extreme changes wrought forth by the notes??? This isn't something that needs to be delayed until 1 in the fucking morning!!

And it's not like Riot hasn't finished the patch by this point, oh they've got it down probably by the end of the weekend before. But to delay something by this much is a little ridiculous. They really need to work on getting a set schedule down for releases, and if something is going to be delayed, please tell us beforehand. I know Phreak explained the delay in the spotlight, but no one said a thing about the notes, which tends to annoy me.
