New Valiant offer kind of a slap in the face

I was gifted a $50 iTunes gift card for Christmas early because they saw the banquet bundle was about to expire. Putting the value of the crystals aside, it would get me some milestones I wanted to hit and it wasn’t like it was my own money anyway so I bought the 10 superior banquet crystals (of course didn’t get anything good).
Now there’s a new bundle on the summoner’s market for the exact same price and contents except it also includes a key for the rebalanced champs.
Literally a complete slap in the face. So I’m just missing out on a key because someone was nice enough to give me a gift card early so I can hit some milestones before the bundle expires?

There was no forum post either, so lack of communication is the real issue here.
However, I’m seeing some rather ridiculous arguments in defense of kabam on this one. Whether, “it was like this last year” (and to be fair not everybody played this event last year) or “it’s the nature of the beast”, it doesn’t make it any less slimy. I expected unit deals to pop up, and I didn’t sweat missing out on those. It just feels lame that they release an intentionally worse deal at the start of banquet, then improve it midway through the event, after people already bought it. It would have been way less slimy to just hold off on all the bundles until the same day. Implying that this is your only chance to get those 10 banquet crystals, and then poof they are gone, while knowing that you are dishing out a better deal 1 second after it expires is just lame. It’s preying on the fear of missing out, which I guess most games do these days, but that doesn’t make it any less wrong.
The key was the main milestone I wanted to hit (in the alliance event, I’m not even close on the solo or realm).
Edit: for the record I have played this game since launch (off and on for a few years, but a lot for the first few years, and a lot the last few years). I’ve hardly found community outrage worth contributing to in that time. This was an exception.
Been through what uve been through.
Looooonng ago when 5* was top and they had just introduced Rogue, I didn't know any better cause I was new to game. Bought an 'all fathers odin' hoping to get my Rogue. Never got her and next day was July 4th sale 🤣
Boy was I upset 😡
Wrote email to kabam stating my displeasure and threatening to quit this game if I didn't get a free 5* Rogue. Many yrs later, here I am still.
Just wiser.
Like I said, feel bad for u but it is what it is
I'm not gonna hold my breath for things to change.
Didn't think so.
