Compared to basically any Western dev studio they do A LOT of communication.
At least they don't need to go through five suits or read a script approved by them.
Yoshi and the other devs have a surprising level of freedom when it comes to this.

I think a problem is they talk about so much that they often don't have time to go in depth into things.
I'd like to hear why too tho.
But I also think we should wait until 6.1 before saying too much, it's entirely possible they have some reworks in mind and don't want to touch the numbers too much because it'd be even more work.
They do seem to have a better safe than sorry mentality and are careful with buffs and nerfs.
I get the disappointment in 6.08 but it's also not a patch where big changes are meant to happen.
