How do players feel about patches?
I'm not trying to put words in peoples mouths, but this is the situation as I see it.
Every single patch changes the game.
Your team can have a good strategy for the entire season. Then go to worlds and find out you are playing on a patch that more or less ruins the strategy that got you there.
I can't think of any other "sport" that changes the rules of the game mid season. Especially, to change the rules in between play offs and regular season.
