Do patch notes mean patch is out now, or are they done like a day or so in advance?

Patch notes typically come out the day before the new patch goes live! This (usually) means the patch notes come out every other Tuesday and the patch goes live on the following Wednesday. You can check out the full 2022 Patch Schedule here if interested
PANTHEON Base health regen decreased. Tap Q range and width increased.
Typo for any rioter reading, width decreased, not increased.
Thank you for letting me know!
No matter how much I dislike the changes, the writer of these patch notes makes me still look forward to reading them.
Thank you so much, this comment really made my day! I don't make the balance changes myself, but I try my best to give everyone sufficient context to the changes being made (while adding in some humor here and there).
I especially enjoyed the Gwen paragraph! The way you knit in 4 puns, while still making your points was really knots…. I mean nuts
Thank you! I wish I wrote that one, but that was the other patch notes author, Ahrisoo! Can't believe she strung so many puns together!
Does the balance team give you a list of points to cover for each change? I'm curious about how that part of the note-writing process works
Kind of! Once the upcoming patch changes are locked in the Summoner's Rift team will provide a document detailing every change (as well as explanations) and will then work with me and Ahrisoo to answer any questions we have while writing them into the patch notes. It's a very collaborative process, so there's a lot of back and forth to make sure the wording is accurately representing the changes themselves/explanations of the changes for anyone reading them (whether you're in Bronze or Challenger). Hope this helps answer your question!
Yelling at the person who writes patch notes for a living for...fixing the patch notes is probably not as compelling an argument as you think it is lmao.
Like I have grievances too, but wrong person to be yelling at to fix bugs.
Hey there! You pretty much nailed it, I try to focus on comments about the notes themselves (something very much in my control at Riot)—if that comes off as neglecting the harder hitting questions I do apologize! I do read the vast majority of the comments on the patch notes threads and take them all to heart though, and we can at least send stuff over to the devs if we think they probably haven't read it themselves (like if a comment is buried deep in a thread or something). Some comments are insightful and help us level up patches and patch notes, even if they're aggro in tone, though if someone's venting there's not much of a specific suggestion for me to pass along.
Always appreciate the folks who help try and soften the tone in these discussion threads—thanks!
u/Riot_Riru any update on the nexus bug where the hitbox extends out to 2x the size of the nexus making it impossible to kite or move near it (over 2 weeks) or the bug where standing in certain spots near nexus and throwing a skill shot towards fountain will throw it 90 degrees opposite you mouse (over 2 years) ??
Thanks for letting me know! I shared these internally and we're looking into them
