Content in Patch Being Delayed

[quote=Zeprido]Breaking my 1337ness to post this sad news. Average Gatsby: [quote]"Summoners! In the next patch, we’re rolling out a number of new upgrades aimed at improving platform stability. These upgrades include some structural changes that should improve our platform across the globe. However, a significant change to the platform is not without a certain element of risk. In order to minimize the possibility of any disruption to your regular gameplay schedule, Leona, the Radiant Dawn; new skins; and game balance changes have been delayed while we work out a few known issues, and will not be in this patch. While we know that everyone is extremely excited to play Leona, we want to take the time necessary to ensure that we deliver a quality gameplay update, rather than risk making your first experience with the new champion a negative one. We will be working as expediently as we can to complete our configuration and resolve all issues with the coming gameplay updates. We will be bringing you more information on the release of Leona, the Radiant Dawn; new skins; and game balance changes as soon as we are confident that platform stability is optimal. Thanks for your patience, and thank you for playing League of Legends!"[/quote] So, I'm sorely disappointed, the content that we were/weren't looking forward to has pushed back even further. I'm not exactly sure what structural changes they have in mind that would effect platform stability. I certainly would like Riot to provide a bit more information about it on release on this content.

[quote=B-Wong]So instead of Thursday.... it'll be coming soon(tm). Eh, can't say it wasn't completely unforseen.[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]I don't care really... I have enough champions and,I never buy skins. GG no re RIOT?[/quote]

[quote=Zeprido]Well, my belief is that the platform changes involve the recent hacks.[/quote]

[quote=Zeprido]Phreak [quote]" We ran into some pretty big bugs (Summoner Teleport stopped working for example) that have made it a bit hectic trying to prepare the patch. Because of these delays, we'd been slowing down our talk about Leona because the major priority for us with League of Legends is ensuring the EU West / EU Nordic+East split goes well, more so than ensuring Leona is a successfully-advertised champion."[/quote] This definitely explains the delay. There was also talk of a critical bug that effects multiple champions including Leona, but I can't seem to find the thread I was reading it in.[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]good... i'd rather have it a few days late than have it on time and filled with game breaking bugs.[/quote]

[quote=BigDaddyPedro]Well hey atleast they're trying to fix it.... oh wait it's Riot, it will still break. NVM GG Riot, nice move.[/quote]

[quote=Xenasis]I'd rather have the patch delayed for two weeks to get a little server upgrade. They made the right choice, let's put it that way.[/quote]
