Missed the original video series of patch Rundowns. I really do not like the idea of listening to the podcast.

Here here.

Well this way they aren't limited to the time limit they had with the video series. so they can go over more champion changes especially for this patch.

Muted SummonerMay 18, 20165 votes

what time limit? they have enough videos on YouTube to go well over the 10 minute limit. Its just easier to do more than likely. No need for camera set ups and having to change to different cameras/angles.

Personally, I didn't mind when they didn't bother to hit every single nuance in a patch. I liked the video format better that podcast. I liked that the rundown was focused on a few changes rather than every little change in the patch notes. That said, I really do love that the Patch Rundown is back! Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

I think the proper terminology is actually "Hear, hear"

NeuroillogicalMay 18, 201611 votes

Would that make sharing this link, "Hear here."?

SwizzleMay 17, 20165 votes

I think having no video allows for the podcast to be much longer rather than the condensed ~20 minute vods

Muted SummonerMay 18, 20163 votes

idk man they could just have a long ass video. I'd watch it.

cool video > pod cast

why don't they just post both like a lot of podcasts are doing now

DelacareMay 18, 20162 votes

I can't handle just sitting there and listening to them go ON AND ON; I need the visual component to retain it. I need to see them talk, their expressions, and body language. This is why I can't listen to audiobooks.

Podcasts were great back in the day of the Net, but seeing you talk about things, along with hearing it is just so much more entertaining, engaging, and everlasting IMO. not say the podcast isn't great, but seeing the patch rundowns as well as hearing it was just so much more... well MORE.

OH MY GOODNESS! i thought i was the only one....I liked the videos MUCH BETTER!

New champion looks great, I like the mage update. However, there's still micro things wrong with the game that aren't being focused on. Adcs are still in a horrible place after their update, on top that tanks still deal the most damage while, well BEING A TANK. Master yi's with tank items after being fed is just un-winnable. Like, can we get a better path for league? THIS is just my opinion. I just disagree with everything that has come in this current season. Not to mention that tribunal is getting WAY, WAYYYY too touchy. I'm afraid to even say anything in my games anymore. It seems that you can get muted for even saying: "you did terrible." How do i know? because my main got banned for it and i have the whole dialogue. 0 toxicity, NOT EVERYONE IS TYLER 1. GIVE IT A REST.

TabaeriusMay 17, 201613 votes

There's really no good reason to tell people how bad they are doing during a game, it just creates a negative environment because they feel the need to defend themselves, which unfortunately is often an attack back at you. So if someone is doing poorly just try to cheer them up or say nothing at all.

LabeanplantMay 17, 20163 votes

If someone is playing like absolute garbage, and is 0-10 and the reason you are losing. You should be able to tell them you are doing shitty without being banned. There is no excuse to have 0 kills and 6 plus deaths ever. People need to stop being so soft and accept the fact that some games they're playing like shit and will be criticized so.

AlexXenoMay 17, 20167 votes

No, if they are doing bad, try helping them. Make suggestions. they may not listen but be HELPFUL and CONSTRUCTIVE.

BangoJettyMay 18, 20162 votes

Is it just me, or do all the negative comments have Draven icons??

Honestly Patch Rundown was my favorite and one of the more informative videos Riot did in regards to "the game" and how the new patch in the game was going to affect us as players. I missed it so much.

Patch Rundown w/ Scarizard > /ALLCHAT

I also enjoy Zirene or even Gustavs attendance in these rundowns. The logic and tips I gleaned from the information provided was helpful.

Podcast is not cool, I feel Patch Rundown is too important to just be some simple Podcast. However, to save time on editing...why not run this as a Streamcast with video. This is an easier interview format than the video quality of previous patch rundowns but also a good medium with visual queues. A lot of popular streamers use this format with 4,3,2, or 1 extra box depending on attendees/interviewees. It would also allow for stats or other visuals, highlights, champion plays, build paths, items or whatever to be thrown up in different windows to reiterate points during the debate.

CrazetexMay 17, 20166 votes

So, Zirene is great and all, but that picture makes him look like a creepy old man who just shaved off his scraggly beard and is like "so tell me about that final fintesy sevens, kids. heh heh heh"

Sorry Zirene.

In terms of, "Patch Rundowns," episodes for League of Legends, please continue with more podcasts. Great in-depth analysis all around from the panel. For future episodes, it would be splendid to have professional players on as guests. Obtaining some of their thoughts, and opinions, would be highly demanded ( or at least from my own perspective). I enjoyed listening to this episode while lying down in bed, after I've completed my own analysis of the patch notes. I get why others want video series; however, I disagree with the general consent. Already, I have an abundant amount of League of Legends video content through its ESports. "Patch Rundowns," in my opinion, are more enjoyable to listen on podcasts, rather than, in comparison, watching it on video. I listen to sports podcasts all the time at the gym, driving to work, before I sleep, etc. I'll be adding this to my list as well. Thank you.

I'm also a big fan of the podcast format. I tended to go audio-only on these types of video anyway.

themastrofscornMay 17, 20164 votes

its shit

AlexXenoMay 17, 20164 votes

Like this better, Can listen as I play XD

runedaraMay 18, 20162 votes

You could do that before. Lol.

PQPSz TauntyMay 18, 20164 votes

i believe should do both i cant see why not just make shittier cuts on shots but i enjoy both but miss vids

Aryan CoconutMay 18, 20164 votes

Just a side note, am I the only one that hates the fact that 6.1 and 6.10 are mathematically the same?[zombie-brand-facepalm]

Eragon SilvrMay 19, 20162 votes

Mathematically, however this is not math it's a similar to how people count the date. Today's date is 5/18/16. It's the same thing if you put; Today's date is 5.18.16. You have to differentiate between the 1st of the month and the tenth as well so you can't say: 5/1/16 or 5.1.16 instead of 5/10/16 or 5.10.16. It's also a log of the updates that have happened and the current one that is on. Right now it's the 6th big update and 10 smaller updates since the big one. If you looked at the full patch number you would also see the number of hot fixes and glitch fixes that have happened since the last patch. It might look something like this: 6.10.5.

TL;DR 6.10 is not a number or decimal it's a list of numbers representing a patch to the game

Sirz BenjieMay 18, 20163 votes

I like this format a lot, you guys should keep this up. It is really helpful that you do this for every change, please do this more often, if not every patch!

Jenzu May 18, 20163 votes

You guys ruined my favorite Champion. Please buff Janna again, the one thing I thought you'd never touch was her shield and you had to nerf that too, I'm so fucking mad at everything you've done to her. Fuck Vlad nerf the shit out of him, AND ARE YOU GUYS SERIOUS BUFFING YI WHO HAS ALWAYS BEEN BROKEN?

KriegwulfMay 18, 20163 votes

You have a lot of rage pent up inside you directed at this game, son.

Jenzu May 19, 20162 votes

You don't? Have you never fucking played this unfair piece of shit game? Never had 2 afks on your team? Never had Intentional feeders that ruin your ranked games? Never dc'd for NO reason? Oh and don't forget raging asshole teammates and shit talking bm enemy players. Obviously you haven't so feel free to play the game some more and be cursed every time you do for all I give a shit.

But when does it take effect??????

Herbal TributeMay 18, 20162 votes

fuck this bring back the videos im going to stop listening to this i would watch every video but im not listening to one more of these stupid pod casts

Im hotdogMay 18, 20162 votes

Honestly I liked the videos better for many reasons, including the fact that they were shorter. I don't want to listen to an hour long discussion on a patch, we all have the patch notes... I urge you reconsider naming these "Needlessly Long Patch Dissection."

TsugagaMay 18, 20162 votes

I prefer the videos. Boo.

stan5caMay 18, 20162 votes

I liked the video version better. It was a short quick way for me to understand changes and why they happened/reasoning. While a league podcast is a good idea, for the patch run down I think that it is just too long.

BattleOozeMay 19, 20162 votes

I miss the video patch rundowns honestly.

YOUMFNRIGHTMay 19, 20162 votes

Same here agreeing that the vids must return. Most informational and useful part of the client login videos. I learn what i should use caution in buying based on changes and what i cant buy anymore from scarizord. I follow this series and now i guess ill drink a portion of bleach and watch Allchat instead.

Caustic KapaMay 20, 20162 votes

GOD, they talk so long about nothing. just say the updates and that's all there is to it. but nooooo bluh bluh bluh. a whole darn hour podcast is ridiculous to listen to if u just want to know real quick what is going on new in the patch

PalPlaysMay 20, 20162 votes

I know it's being said by everyone, but let me reiterate...

I miss the old rundowns.
