Need Global Announcement in Client of New Patch...

xReadyPlayerOnex·Oct 11, 2016·1 votes·427 views

Like how worlds gives a global announcement that it's on. GIve that same announcement to anyone currently logged in.

Not a concept, not a creation. I need HELP. We all do. This feature MUST be a part of the next patch. It's not an option. RIOT has failed if it's not provided.

It causes client crashes and messes up MMR and matchmaking (yes, it does). If your goal is to stabilize and idealize the new client then this BASIC help is needed.

Someone deleted this for no reason so... enjoy the facepalm. [zombie-brand-facepalm]

Or you could, you know, close the client when you're done playing? Also, the patches have consistently occurred every two weeks, overnight between Tuesday and Wednesday (technically early Wednesday morning). So maybe keep track of the day of the week, and restart the client if it's Wednesday?

And what of the millions of people who don't specifically track this or are currently logged in when it strikes?

I'd be willing to bet that most of the community who would be playing the game often enough to leave it logged in all the time will have worked out the fact that patches have gone out every two weeks on the same day at the same time for years now. Not to mention that while the patching is ongoing, the servers are down so you'd be disconnected and have a maintenance notice active in the client. And I think they put out a warning notice in the client a little bit before things go down for a patch.

Sorry, but I really think you're in an extreme minority here. The vast majority of players either don't stay logged in all the time, are aware of the patch cycles, catch the patch notes when posted on the site, or catch any of the in-client notifications warning them of the pending/current downtime.

Just restart your stupid client now and again and you'll avoid this...

Glad you're using fictitious data and assumptions to offer a defense for a company that not only has the means to do such a thing but could implement it instantly, for absolutely no cost and would benefit people at MANY other times aside from just scheduled patch releases. Please though... continue to offer false logic, false data and false premises while speaking on behalf of millions of people that you've never talked to and never asked their opinion.

You're the one claiming millions of players have the same issue as you. Do you have data on that? Cause while it's not hard data, I can at least definitively say that being around this game for 7 years, this is the first time I've ever seen somebody complain about this.

And no, they could not implement this instantly. Or for free.

You're wrong again. On all accounts.
