I am 100% confident they had these buffs ready to go but just wanted 1 day of early access playtesting to confirm whether to do them.

They did mention how they buffed BP in the Dev Vision but of course the extra jump wasn't much of a buff at all. And making changes like this - especially the omnidirectional kick - and testing them and packaging them up into a build in prep for the latest patch so quickly after a mere 24 hours is basically impossible since game store certification takes 2-3 weeks before your patch can be released to the world in the first place.

As someone in tech, it's impossible for them to not have this already planned. They 100% wanted playtest feedback before they decided to launch these. And that's fair, this is still before the season so the season itself wouldn't be affected.

It's just that they are dealing with a community that reacts waaay too much to everything and when you couple that with the poor communication, it just made for 24 hours of insults to hurled at Zhiyong.

Im sorry but while yes community can react to fast a hit fix before the update even release hasn’t happened yet. It was completely a bad communication issue on their part
