Patch frequency

I love mastering games and feel like this is not possible in LoL since there is a new patch every 2 weeks or so.

From a gameplay point of view there are two reasons for a patch: new content and balancing. New content is awesome, but there truly doesn't have to something new every 2 weeks. Balancing is, of course, a necessity, but

1. The overall balance is allright (it's not a Beta anymore; pre-season patches are OK, I don't mind patch every day during pre-season).
2. LoL is such a complex game that two weeks is really short time to master it (I would even say that it's laughably short). For me, patches felt like a race against time - new one comes out, couple of champions changed, ok, just adjust/re-learn a few matchups, not such a big deal, changed item/s or a new one, ok re-think builds and/or timimg of backing, hopefully it will resolve somehow itself, changes to junglers, boooom... ok, no trying to punish my enemies, till I don't figure out what's going on in the jungle.... lets play as many games as possible....more-less back in the game, time to learn a new strat/champion.... oh, wait, actually no, there is a new patch coming soon.

Don't take me wrong I love patches BUT two weeks don't do it for me.
