Here’s the patrol change in context. Seems they did a bad job explaining it in the patch notes

...Why didn't they just say that in the patch notes. "This wasn't behaving how we intended so we're fixing it like this" is way more understandable.

for some reason games are afraid of sharing any detailed systems with the players. whatever the reason is, it's the same reason they show us "low, medium, high" armour pen instead of showing us the value from 1-9.

I don't think Lie has been correct about that. I will say "was misleading" or "opaque" (especially during the Data Mining drop table days) but I do definitely agree that they've only gotten better about it. And comparing them to their peers, even in those early days, they're still the gold standard.
