The latest LoL patch notes just came out. Since it is, after all, the world’s largest e-sports game in all the history of existence, I feel like we can learn a thing or two from them.

These patch notes are specifically written by the game developers themselves. Notice how they pay a lot of attention to detail – each and every change is fleshed out with a summary section, a context section, and even the changes are detailed by juxtaposing the old mechanics/numbers with the new ones.

Remember, these are not player-written or fanbase written notes. These notes are written by the game developers to clearly communicate their intentions, thought process, and ultimate decision-making process with the players directly.

I feel like detailed patch notes like these help the community stay on track with the developers, which encourages and facilitates more constructive feedback and discussions on the forum. Thoughts?

This isn’t a PvP game.
The devs thoughts and explanations will only make anyone who doesn’t realize that mad.
