About the timing of Ornn's Reveal

I'm on EUW. Here, when the patch comes is released it's wednesday, and on tuesday evening, when content hits PBE, everything is officially announced, especially champions and reworks. Skins are usually teased a few hours earlier.

With Ornn, timing was a bit different, because his reveal was on monday, while the PBE update was on tuesday. I just wanted to say that I like this schedule way better, for various reasons:

  • we get information one day earlier
  • we don't get overloaded with a massive infodump on tuesday
  • we have a day to speculate based on concrete and official information. This generates hype, and knowing the PBE update will be the day after means the hype doesn't die off
  • dividing announcements and reveals over several days lets us better appreciate the various new content, in this case Ornn and the Star Guardians didn't overlap as much as they would have if everything was revealed on tuesday

So, for what it's worth, know that you made at least one player happy, and I hope this can become the new standard ^^

ps: i also liked the song and story pieces being released before the weekend, I'm usually not a fan of "lore-theorycrafting", but this time we had a few concrete pieces to put together, and it was fun to see what people did come up ^^
