That, I can't speak to intelligently. I can try to poke the platform guys and see if I can get the layman's explanation.

(I do know that the business ramifications are as I laid out though - sooner is better from that front).

Not sure if that is the best reference since that is about the only conspiracy theory that actually has reasonable evidence to support it.

The reason Morello is so active atm is because he's sipping on some mountain dew staring at the switch for Dominion beta

Ever watched it with someone who really, really believes in the stuff they shell out and then you try to offer a more rational thinking to them? Trust me, Morello, it doesn't end well. But, I am stupid enough to tell a person who believes in **** near every conspiracy theory that maybe they've gone overboard to their face.

More back on topic: Trust me, I am almost considering already not trying to log on first day of Dominion release. It is likely not going to end well for me, moreso for Riot.

they're essentially taking baby steps. think of it this way: day 1 they allow 100 people. everything goes well? day 2 allows 200 people. everything goes well? day 3 allows 300 people and so on and so forth. by doing this they can test when the servers start taking a beating without releasing it to the masses (peak hours) and having the whole platform explode.

Haha, this is the kind of discussion that can go down the rabbit hole really quickly

Thx, well I am excited for the actual release, playing it this morning was amazing and I can't wait another second!

BTW I really am curious what the server guys say
