Riot, this time you've gone too far with BE! Tell me this is a bug and not a joke!

So today Zoe was released. I am a player who has unlocked all champions as of 11/8/2017 as you can tell here:

Ivern and Tahm were the last two missing and I bought them through the Mystery Champion in the BE shop after our IP got converted. Using my remaining BE I got a few more stuff and saved a bit around 1900+. So today's update hits and I'm off to unlock Zoe. The BE shop is still up so I disenchant quite a lot of my champion shards to reach 3950 (ended up with a bit more due to disenchanting values) and I click the mystery champion in the shop to finish my champion collection. And then this shit pop ups! https://imgur.com/7cxXypM Did EA buy you between the patches? I could clearly purchase Mystery Champion for Tahm and Ivern with a pool of less than 10 before and there is no mention for this change anywhere whatsoever. If this isn't a bug, Riot deliberately changed how Mystery Champion purchases work in the shop just after Zoe got released. Coincidence? Is it in order to milk more BE out of the playerbase? I have no idea what have you done, but this demands an explanation right now! If it's a bug then fix it and give me my champion. If it's not then refund me and give me back all the shards I disenchanted, I clearly didn't sign up for the troll pop-up message when I was calculating my BE expenses! If this isn't a bug, this change is absolutely scummy and unredeemable and with all due respect: shame on you!

Also I would not bother to mention another thing, but it's well deserved now. When the patch first hit, Zoe would appear in your champion collection as locked and if you pressed her it would take you to the shop with the only option being Mystery Champion if you had all champions bought already. I can bet someone got Jebaited by that and bought a Mystery Champion expecting Zoe and got something he had already (assuming the purchase change went live after Zoe was fully unlocked).

(edit: the first 2 pics didn't show up, fixed)

This change came in before the Zoe patch. People were reporting it as early as last week.

A Rioter said "It has always worked this way." If you have proof otherwise though, that is interestning.

I can confirm that I purchased Ivern and Kled (my last two champions) via Mystery Champion on the 9th, and I never got an error message stating I didn't have enough candidates for the mystery pool. https://i.imgur.com/6ObBEM5.png

I don't see the problem in all honesty I believe the mystery champion box should be meant for newer players. Kind of also like casual players give them a method to catch up in regards to champions against those who have everything not also say counting champion shards.
