If we weren't able to see Patch notes and Win Rate Stats
The complaints from bronzies and silvers would heavily decrease, for i promise you none of them would even notice their favorite champion doing "100 less damage on ________"
I'm not saying nerfs and buffs don't effect the game, but at the end of the day it's still league of legends, just shut up and play, enjoy the game, be glad we even get patches so often, it's showing riot is constantly trying to evolve and fix the game.
While some patches may be noticeable like large rework patches. But normal patches, I guarentee none of you would even notice them if riot didn't even reveal their was a update.
