Why does Riot release everthing in NA time now?

One of the main reasons is so there is full staff available to triage and solve emergent issues as they come up after release.

We test and validate the best we can internally but we’re far from perfect and operate at a scale that is very different from the scale of our internal tests.

Acknowledge that this isn’t the best for everyone in every region, but we think it’s important to prioritize the quality of releases until we can get to a consistent level of quality and reduction in issues for releasing content.

Once that improves over time and we develop our tools further, we’ll be re-examining release times across all regions.

Until then we’ll continue to by default release things in the middle of the day in NA. (With some exceptions)
