Does anyone else feel like Harrowing / Halloween was a bit brushed off this year?

I'm not going to go into details, but for the Harrowing, Riot gave us: Two Skins: Ravenborn Leblanc Underworld Wukong

A game mode (that, in my honest opinion, should not be something that is you'd have to wait for an event to play, and just have things like URF, One for All, Hexakill, OFAMM, etc, etc be accessible in custom games)

And Summoner Icons: Mark of the Betrayer Harrowed Puppet

Now before I come off as a whiny, entitled brat, let me publicly acknowledge that it is a free-to-play game and that people have their own opinions and that Riot is working very hard to ensure a good next season. However, I just feel that as the proud holder of the title, "Creator of the most played game in the world" that Riot isn't giving as much back. Riot isn't a bad company. Riot has just looked too far into the future without really looking at the event at hand. Now, this isn't just because I'm a little kid who's afraid to ring the doorbell because of the decorations, it is because, and while I do dread using this phrase, of the principle. I understand that transitioning into Season 5 will be a challenge for all of us. What I am saying is that putting a bit more effort towards now wouldn't hurt all that much. What was done here sort of creates a gap and disagreement of how things should have been done, and having created a gap, creates a sense of dissatisfaction. When such a sense of dissatisfaction is created, people get angry. People get frustrated. People feel like they are being unacknowledged as players and customers. That isn't what you want.

you know what would be cool? If for each "holiday" or for at least the two more "celebrated" ones, we could have like a revamped Summoners rift until that "holiday" is over. For instance, during Halloween, or at least a couple/few weeks leading up-to it, Summoners rift could take on a spooky theme, and for Christmas, a more fun, snow filled theme. That's really all i'm looking for honestly. It's not enough to unlock skins that were made years ago, but rather take on a new approach. Games like WoW, and even some FPS games, Quake live for instance, give us fun themed maps that resemble the "holiday" at hand. Idk, just my 2 cents.

Well as to the treasure hunt thing. I don't think your on to something. The reason why is because most likely they are Linked to the tree line's lore. Hay I love the fact that they have hexa tree line so I can play tree line without the bots that infested it.
