[THEORY] We might still see SWAIN in 8.2

So let's start with the reveal of the new skins yesterday. We saw 6 skins and only 1 of those skins will be live in patch 8.2. Needless to say, it's just a small patch which the balancing stuff, etc. of course. But why did meddler said that 8.2 will be a large patch? hmm.. maybe there's a another PBE patch update coming on its way in tuesday( A surprise patch, which is a unique teaser also) and it will be called PBE patch 8.2b. Because when you look at it, there's still 3 weeks when PBE hits live and the normal PBE cycle is 2 weeks only. Maybe in this 8.2b it will reveal all of swains rework and the noxus update. Not to mention that swain will be test for approximately 2 weeks to avoid bugs in that time. Another theory is that we will also get a teaser tomorrow or until sunday like the VGU candidates (EVE, URGOT, GALIIO). Maybe to support swains PBE reveal next week.

PS: I might be delusional but this hype is killing me. Maybe if this will take too long, my hype will vanish and its been 6 months already. Swains team is killing me and also my hype.

PPSS: I want to know the next VGU candidate too, release the roadmap reav3!!

  1. Where/when did Meddler say 8.2 will be a large patch
  2. Who and where did it say this patch is going to take 3 weeks instead of the normal 2
  3. Without anything else added to the PBE, this patch is already large

  1. I forgot some sources but i think this is the only reference i did find, cause i'm sleepy and lazy. And my class starts at 7:30 and its almost 12nn here. its fuzzy if meddler said that or some other rioter but i got riot maple nectars post.

You haven't actually seen 8.2 patch notes, what's on the front page of reddit atm is the notes for 8.1, a patch that was locked before we went on break. We took some the time that would usually have gone into that patch and made 7.24b, now 8.1 is a bit of a smaller patch, but 8.2 is going to be quite a large patch starting to make headway on some of the issues that have been raised.

tl;dr - 8.1 is a small patch since the dev cycle for it is when we were actually out on break, 8.2 will include a lot of changes that had been started before the break or once we got back. Sorry for the confusion!

  1. Because season 8 will start in jan 16. Add to weeks to that and well have the next patch which is 8.2 in january 30.

  2. But all are not from 8.2 so you get the point of it being large.

Yeah, I doubt it. With the fact Gragas is the only skin of those going live in 8.2 I'd say they got the major content up that they want for that patch. Swain might be seen in 8.3 along with the other skins.
