Was anyone else expecting more Items and more Elemental Dragons to be added for Season 10?

##Items

Kinda sucks that only the Support Role and AD Assassins are getting new items. I would like to see some removed items make a return with a few changes, but yeah...

##"Elemental" Dragons

With Season 10 being heavily focused on Elements, I was kind of surprised that we weren't getting any additional Elemental Type Dragons. I would of loved to see what other Elemental Buffs could of potentially been or how they could change the Summoner's Rift...

We only currently have...

Ocean Dragon (WATER)
Cloud Dragon (AIR)
Mountain Dragon (EARTH)
Infernal Dragon (FIRE)

I would of loved to see some other kind of Elements to the Dragon roaster...

Glacial Dragon (ICE)
Storm Dragon (LIGHTNING)
Oak Dragon (NATURE)
Magma Dragon (LAVA)

I understand your point on items, but as for the Dragons... The preseason theme is "Rise of the Elements" And traditionally "The Elements" means Fire, Water, Earth, and Air. I personally think expanding on the elemental drakes rather than adding new ones was the right direction for League as a game. And thematically, each type of dragon now feels a lot more impactful and defined, with the drastic changes to the environment of the rift on the 3rd dragon spawn and the powerful elemental dragon soul buff that you can claim. It really is the "Rise of the Elements". (Gameplay wise it's still a bit iffy to me since RNGing into ocean dragon rift against the wrong team comp could be really scary and feel sort of unfair, but it's preseason so hopefully all the kinks will be worked out by the time the next ranked season rolls around.)

I think adding four more elemental drakes to the mix instead would've just been messy and sort of underwhelming.
