I understand their schedule of even numbered patches being heavier and odd numbered patches being lighter, but with all of the systematic changes that are hindering the game right now, they better have a solid answer when it comes to actually fixing a lot of the problems present. If this next patch is just taking 5 damage from Janna and toning the damage on Shiv, I'm gonna rito.
-5% on kaisa's Q bro
what more do you want, meddler just gets paid a probably massive salary, how can you expect people who get paid large salaries to do things, that's not what we do in murica
Dude. Meddler, reptoir and all the pack of riot games design team needs to carry themselves out of hard stuck gold 5. Let them climb. In 5 years when they reach plat 5 they might change their mind and make other role completely nuts to climb diamond this time with it. LUL

This is likely going to be the main flaw in the new patch cycle model. Designers tend to think across a span of time of weeks or months, as that's the time it usually takes to work on a feature, but players tend to think in the much shorter term, because what's most important to them is that their next match is fun. As such, while the big patch/small patch model may be productive, it's likely going to create a severe amount of frustration during the smaller patches, where players expect large amounts of work to happen and see comparatively little done in practice.
Personally, I think the idea of alternating between patch types is a sound one, but I don't really think size should be the concern. Rather, I think it would likely be better to have one patch focus exclusively on design, i.e. updating certain kits and items to change some amount of gameplay, or releasing a new feature altogether, and the next focus exclusively on balance, i.e. stabilizing everything and making sure the disruption from previous patches is kept under control, in addition to just addressing current meta-warping problems such as overperforming champions, unbalanced items, etc. Ideally, these balance patches should aim to provide immediate relief, whereas the design patches focus on more long-term goals, so that players expecting a balance issue to be fixed should not have to wait more than one patch cycle for that to happen.
If? IF?????? When, good sir, when.
5 damage and 5 MS from Janna. That's big. Losing base MS means less increase from her W and less damage from her W and passive. It's really important for her laning phase to have a lot of MS, and taking away even just 5 might be crucial for her laning patterns.
