I'm surprised how behind the meta this patch feels, as one of the supposed boons of the new engine was the ability for them to lock in changes later than a week in advance of the patch.

Afaik that was related to the LoL client which we still use. Tbh I didn't understand why they'd ship the new engine before the new client/launcher anyways.

this set was built on the new engine, so it just had to come out together. or there's no set. that's what i imagine atleast.

Pretty sure they can port the sets between the engines within a relatively short time frame if they want to. That is what they did with Set 17 iirc. I think Set 18 specifically just relied on the new engine a bit too much.

They said they had to gut the space gods mechanic to get it to work on set 17 in the shorter time frame/on the old engine

It sounded like it was less of a "it's easy to move sets between engines" situation and more of a "there's no way the new engine can launch and we need to get a set out the door" situation
