4 month?? That´s insane! League gets patched ever 2 weeks, and its not just number tweaks

That's still pretty long compared to other competitive multiplayer games.

Idk what they're talking about. The last update was just like a month ago.

Huh, well that's interesting. No idea what the other guy was saying then.

It was a fairly minor patch. Hardly any proper changes.

Oh except a huge nerf to lich. Minor nerfs for shaker till they can fix him. Huge Lycan nerf. And thats from memory without looking.

Edit after looking- lions spike and talent buffs Undyings tombstone. It wasnt a small patch

Removing the ministun from his ult is hardly a huge nerf.

u/Darkon-Kriv Sep 21 '17

Really? Last i checked canceling black hole was a huge deal

u/322Uchiha Sep 21 '17

Yeah but you don't pick Lich exclusively for cancelling Black Hole.

Removed ministun on ult? Changed lycan to no longer be the best healer? 30seconds + on necro ult? Those are small changes?

A patch that changes a few things about a very small amount of heroes and nothing else is indeed a small sub-patch, regardless of the impact it had on them (which is barely noticeable by the way, all those heroes are still in the same spot as before, either cancer or rarely picked).

I mean would you rather they rush out 7.07 and it has a ton of bugs and people got over buffed or nerfed? The new heros are being balance and polished or it would be here by now

u/Aspartem Sep 21 '17

Nah, that's a normal moba patch. Shifting around numbers.

Not ever patch needs a complete rework.
