Don’t hit back at me with “NA are testing for bugs etc” cause I’d happily test for fcking bugs. I want Competitive, fed up of this unrated shit

Edit: i understand now

We deploy to north and south america first so that the patch has soak time during work hours for the office. This gives us a chance to catch major issues before deploying wide. Also gives us a chance to have a fix included in the patch for the other regions.

Are you going to do like in the beta with ranked? First deploy patch then after Ranked or is this all about Ranked?, thx for answer. :)

We'll deploy the patch globally, make sure we have general stability, and then will turned on ranked. I don't have the exact timings for it, as I don't want to set the wrong timing expectation, but it's as soon as we feel it's safe to turn on.

We prefer to have the fix later and the patch sooner.

Sincerely, EU.

And we appreciate the opinion :)

Just like you appreciated eu opinion for the position based version of LoL ranked that was only shipped in NA and dismissed only based on NA opinion...oh wait

It was NA and Korea. We decided to do a narrow rollout to gather feedback on a major change to the ranked system.

NA and EU sentiment tends to mirror each other in a lot of ways for these types of things from a survey/insights perspective.

I know, but still my point stand, EU was not take in consideration for that ranked change.

I was just ranting btw, i really appreciate you reply but its not like arguing about this could change something, things gonna be the same way no matter how hard i wouldv tried position based rank in LoL or the valorant patch the same day of NA.

All good, we do understand where some of the frustration can come from on that (especially from our long-time EU LoL folks--2011/12 had some rough nights). Intent for this isn't to give any region an early advantage or access, as we'd love to get the patch to everyone at the same time.

From an operational perspective, change = risk, so we strive to reduce risk as much as possible. One way to do that is some regions at a time, off-peak timing (so fewer players impacted), and with opportunities to fix with the most amount of people around. Everything takes longer at 3am :), so we want to make sure EU's not languishing with a major patch issue with fewer eyes on it.

Yeah i got the ewy it works and its perfectly reasonable, its just that as you said from a long time EU player every little thing stings.

But now im wondering, in LoL we dont have all that time difference for patches right? If we do than my bad, i didnt even notice, if we dont, than why is that?

I believe LoL starts off with Oceania. They have like 13 shards to update all with unique downtimes to manage over a 24-36 hour period. Our infrastructure's a little different. We have 4 shards/6 matchmaking regions, so it's less complex to coordinate over a 16 hour period of time during daylight/reasonable hours.

So i assume in the regions where the patch didn't deploy yet, it wont until it's fixed right ?

Correct. We're hoping a mitigation we're testing right now will prevent any delays to other region timing.
