Why in the world is there not a Candy Kayn skin yet?

I don't expect it to come out this season, but if there is not a Candy Kayn skin released next year for Christmas, I might just quit League of Legends.

It's such an easy wordplay to make and there are so many ways they could go with it that it would just be amazing and would literally make the game 10 times better for literally everybody that plays it.

Here's how I personally would do the skin if I was on the Riot Skins Team, or whatever their fancy name for it is.

Standard Form: Kayn is a gingerbread man, and he carries Rhaast, the candy cane scythe. Q: Sound effect when an enemy is hit, and change particle effects to a red type tint to match the skin. W: Obviously, it should be a big ol' candy cane striking all enemies in the area. E: Gingerbread/Candy Cane mix make a pathway for him in walls, turns into a darker, burnt looking gingerbread man. R: Maybe jingle bells sound effect when cast, Candy Cane spinning hovering over enemy when inside of them.

Shadow Assassin Form: Kayn wins the battle and becomes a buff, strong gingerbread man, and Rhaasts candy cane eye shuts, or gets replaced completely with a gingerbread scythe. Q: More impactful sounding effect, change particle effect to match the scythes color. W: Matches the color of the scythe, little christmas sound effect when an enemy is hit. E: Forms a gingerbread pathway in walls, turns into a burnt gingerbread man while movespeed is active. R: Gingerbread man or a gingerbread cane spinning hovering over enemies when inside of them, more impactful sound effect for when casted.

Darkin Rhaast Form: Kayn loses the battle and becomes a big, girthy, candy cane man, and carries around his candy cane scythe. Q: Particle effect change to match red candy cane theme, tanky sounding christmas sound effect. W: An even bigger, stronger looking candy cane to hit all enemies in area. E: Forms a candy cane pathway for him in walls, becomes a slender candy cane man while speeded up. R: Candy Cane or Candy Man spinning hovering over enemies while inside of them, improved sound effect from standard forrm.

That's all the ideas I'd have for the skin, but if they somehow never release this at some point as an official skin, I may or may not quit the game.

I've heard that Riot now shies away from name-wordplay skins because it's no longer restricted to English speaking countries. Unless it's a name pun that works in every language it's kinda hard for them to do. The only ones I know are Nutcracko, Pug'Maw, and Renektoy. And I really wanted Academy Vladimir to be named Acadimir. Then again, maybe they'll just restrict it to April Fool's day skins.
