It doesn't take a year to reform an attribute and battle system. It shouldn't even take 2 months. It's a collection of variable and simple formulas and should be easy to tweak and adjust. If you look at posts from 4 months ago every white knight was arguing that 1.18 would fix the "core battle mechanics" problem and they would be able to release patches much faster after. As it stands the "core battle mechanics" won't be stable until after 1.20 which going by the 2-months between patches history will be november or december.

Edit: and the fact that people consider common sense to be childish or negative is just an example of the blindness of white knights.
Not pissing off your players every week with dooms-day speculation should be common sense
Not changing the entire core system of a game and breaking parts of it every patch should be common sense.
I'm seriously upset that my previous comment to this was deleted and I was only telling the truth. I'll say it again, but without the f-word, which was censored btw. I'll like how calling someone out on their bullcrap is offensive to SE.

"You're such a hypocrite, first you say don't rush the game, next you're complaining that the patches are taking too long to come out. You can't have it both ways."
