Wait what?

...oh my god, it's true. What the fuck Riot? I refuse to visit your horribly "designed" website just to read about more buffs to already broken characters. It's like they want us to go and read them from different sources.

And the worst part of this shit? We will never know WHY they did it.

Well.. you see... in Korea they have a separate pc for each of the 5 monitors they have. They also have high performance PC's in Gaming Cafes.

I play on a laptop... so yes Im very frustrated when they add things that require more power.

Did you think that maybe something went wrong? Also, if your computer is so bad that you cant open a tab.....how are you playing League? I mean, you sound like you are playing on a Nintendo 64. I mean...I have an old ThinkPad from like....2003 that can run chrome with three tabs.

Also, try to not immediately rage?

So ... another thing went wrong? Spare me that excuse... especially since the client has been on fire for the last couple of months. It's a fucking disgrace at this point. How can people not rage after they put money into this company only to have them suck their own balls off in a corner while the player base is left with this absolute and tremendous shit?

The friends list has not been working for the last couple of months; The end game screen is ludicrous, I could make an anecdote book out of it; The quantity of game-breaking bugs (not exactly game-breaking, but they affect the game since they occur in champ select) that have been reported and yet not fixed is also another joke;

You can't really tell me people need to shut up and wait, when everyone tries to help this company by becoming their patrons, only have their money wasted on some other shit that is not the face of their game. It's true people donate because they want, but there is a legitimate line, called "respect" or "acknowledgement" that they literally don't seem to give a fuck about when it's between them and the player base.

Please, begone Riot Warrior.

depending upon what operating system your thinkpad is running, it's probably just using a page file and writing to disk, unless you have nothing open but your browser. Also, the operating systems back then were not bogged down with junk and non-optimized programming

Take windows 10 compared to windows 8.1 , windows 10 uses double the memory and has a bunch of other problems

Chrome is also notorious for memory issues because it isolates every process from everything

I think they mean the box on the client you need to click so it opens your web browser to give you the patch notes

which, no, does not mean the patch notes are on the client lol

While they are linked in the client, I believe OP is referring to the tab for patch notes we've historically had for years.

This is the worst kind of condescension. Condescension when you are actually the incorrect one.

I don't get it either. I think there's just been some mistake.

First i thought they removed it since the patch didnt go live yesterday as it should have

If you noticed, they updated the way the patch notes page is structured and how it looks. Incorporating it into the client was probably on the bottom of the todo list because you can if fact just open the web version. I would expect to see it either hotfixed in, or coming next patch.

So I think I found out how to open the patch notes:

  • When opening the Client right now, it should open you up on the MECHA-Kingdoms Tab.
  • Click the Overview tab & there should be a box that says Patch 10.2 Notes.
  • Clicking it opens up a tab in your Web Browser that takes you to Leagues Website (which has been redesigned completely) with the patch notes.

Now if someone at Riot can explain why removing the feature to read the notes WITHOUT opening my web browser, that would be most appreciated. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/5/52/Grouchy_Emote.png/revision/latest?cb=20171120231817

i looked and thats a link to the TFT patch notes.. just another issue.. that they force that ^&%$ game onto people who have no interest in playing it whatsoever...

It was taking up too much gig. They're trying to reduce lag.

They couldn't handle the criticism.

Because, according to my lobbies, nobody reads patch notes anyway.

In case anyone was truly wondering why they removed them, it was to bring more traffic into their website, as it can and is used as another data gathering tool for more purposes than I can think of on the spot.

But data gathering and data mining are very real things, and while they can already do that with the client, they want to also do it on the website as I'm sure their data shows they make more sales from someone visiting their website vs someone on their client (I'm guessing).

Now I'm not a rocket scientist, but additionally, depending on what language League of Legends is written in, and whether or not itself stores data, it would be significantly easier to mine for data from a website database that was written on a more powerful language like SQL.

Just a guess
