A few hours after the patch released ranked was available before the 7AM PST reset. In response to someone's tweet about low LP states Phroxzon talked down to them for giving what he saw as irrelevant feedback even though Phroxzon didn't know about "preseason 14." This makes it really hard to have confidence in the game designers statements about MMR, Matchmaking, and LP gains.

In all seriousness, the patch being live with ranked on was confusing, forgot that preseason is normally on with ranked on, but the season reset and preseason being live being close together meant there was between 0-9 hour discrepancy in some regions
