Yes? No? How come?
I think it could work, though there's the glaring problem of: "how do professional teams practice?" Edit: I mean the changes riot makes based on competitive play are executed on a separate patch from changes based on solo Q
LaoBushido1 votesno? they practice in Challenger or Korean server boot camps right? also they pros and normal need to play on the same sever so that the advage player can be like i can do it too or something.
360D3GR3SS1 votesI thought about this. One of the many problems with this is that players could not replicate what they see the pros do. If some champion has more power in pro play but less power in non pro play it would create alot of false hope for casual league players.
Deep Terror Nami1 votesCompetitive matches already don't pick up the newest patch immediately so that new bugs that haven't had time to be fixed don't interfere with the matches, and also so that the pros will have already had 1-2+ weeks of practice on the patch to adjust to changes. The entirety of Worlds is on 5.18, for example.
What the OP is saying, is that outside of the competition they can play on the old patch that they'll be competing on (they may be on 5.18 at Worlds, but when they go home they only have access to 5.20). He thinks they should have access to the prior patch to practice more.
So anyway, professional matches are already viewed on a different patch than is live until it catches up (and until the next patch goes live).
360D3GR3SS1 votesI thought he meant on an entirely different patch. Like pro matches would run off of completely different set of tweaks tuned for pro play. Like "pro patch 1.0" and "public patch 1.0" are released at the same time but have very different changes.
Deep Terror Nami1 votesIdk, until he comes back and clarifies, I'm not sure. If so, it makes little sense and no wonder he's got downvotes.
Edge of Daybreak1 votesI think he means that riot should make changes solely for pros and have solo queue on a different patch. It's 3 am so i could be reading this wrong. Anyway no that idea is straight up terrible.
