Disappointing patch releases

Am I the only one that is always bothered by the lack of new content on the actual release of the patch? It seems silly to get excited for new champ/new skins with the new patch but have nothing actually be released with the patch. It's a new patch but nothing is different than balance changes. I don't really understand why Riot delays releases of everything, the release of the patch ruins my hype so the release of the new content is always unexpected and unsatisfying.

Just my opinion.

EDIT: didn't mean to put this in gameplay

the most disappointing patch in history of LoL was 5.2 and the second one was in november 2015 when flask was removed

Yeah, I can understand spreading out skins but champions should never be held back for any reason. The silver lining is Yuumi has a Battle Academia skin so should be out tomorrow at the latest with the confirmed release date of the skin line.

Rumors say that they secretly developing mobile games so they put all skilled human resources into new project while leeching this huge IP for a few more years.

Riot has changed their logic since season 7. Instead of saying "Ok, what should we do in this patch to make the game more enjoyable", they say "Ok, what should we do in this patch to make more money?" And that is the problem of League, what is trending these days, anime, so how will they make their china playerbase happy and make more money, ANIME SKINS FOR CHAMPIONS LIKE LUX AND EZREAL WHO ALREADY HAVE LEGENDARY 20 BUCK SKINS. They are trying to make us forget that the gameplay is pure shit, with pretty graphics which for the new audience works (especially the kids) but if that is the technique you want to follow then forget about the serious players who have years of experience on the game. OR You could admit that you have failed on your job and do the simplest thing, ASK THE PLAYERBASE, create polls on what should change and for the love of good god, STOP LETTING Bradford 'CertainlyT' Wenban CREATING CHAMPIONS (Yeah I actually think he is one of the main problems of the game since its beggining). So back to what the thread reads. True, the patches have been unsatisfying and I actually wonder, how Riot used to create 1 champion per half a year and we were getting hyped up for it now, they create 2 champions per 3 months and they rework half the unique ones to a generic "revenge" theme.

You know, I almost jumped at you like "WHAT DO YOU MEAN DISAPOINTING, YOU DAMN BOARD WANTED RIVEN NERF, VAYNE NERF AND YOU GOT IT. WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT?" and then I read what you wrote and I become "Oh...".

On topic, yeah I agree it is weird to delay EVERY content. I can understand for the skinline but why did Yuumi not go live with the patch?

Yeah, god forbid the meta have any sort of stability whatsoever.
