Basically the patch numbering goes:
4.20, 4.21 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, 5.8, 5.9
5.1 [What? We just had 5.1], 5.11, 5.12, 5.13, 5.14, 5.15, 5.16, 5.17, 5.18, 5.19 5.2 [Oh my, here we go again!], 5.21, 5.22, 5.23, (5.24?)
What's the deal here..?!! :o
El Condor Pasa5 votesThese aren't decimal numbers. 5.1 (five point one) is not the same as 5.10 (five point ten)
Deep Terror Nami4 votesThe first number is seasonal/expansion, the second numbers (after decimal) is major patch
This allows your patch numbers to be 5.XX for all of season 5. You don't get to remove the zero at the end, if it's 5.10 it's said "Five-Ten" or maybe "five point ten".
Sukishoo2 votesHow at ALL is that backwards? It's clearly going UP.
Best Ekko NA1 votesThe ordering is still wrong even based on what you are saying.
After 5.1 you would have to release 5.10 through 5.19 in order to maintain chronological order. So your explanation still doesn't answer the question for why they are out of order / backwards.
Granted I do understand your point (10, 11, 12, etc.) but in computer based order it would be wrong. lol
El Condor Pasa3 votesIt only seems wrong because you are ordering the numbers according to a decimal system.
The numbers following the first period are incremented on each major release throughout the season. The periods are separator. 5.23 can be interpreted as "Season 5 Patch 23". Going by this naming scheme, it should follow that the patches are ordered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, etc.
Duke Anax1 votesPlaese take note of the difference between 5.1.0 and 5.10
