What about Kumungu Jungle?

Hi there, i was just wondering about kumungu jungle. Iam Zyra main and I would love to see some new lore stories about this place, because i think it deserves some update. I really love all the strories about Shadow Isles, Shurima, Targon etc... And i find this place really interesting with so much potencial. I think that Rengo, Kha, Nida, Zyra and maybe new champ could make this place again interesting with little bit of love. So, do you guys in Rito have any information about this?

Don't be surprised if it gets deleted. both of the jungles have such a small impact that really neither of them matter. also last I checked kha and reng don't actually have any connections to anywhere specifically.

A rioter has said that Kumungu is canon. In fact, it's probably the largest and most dangerous jungle in Runeterra/Valoran.

Yeah I think that if any of the two jungles is gonna get retconned,then its going to be the plague jungles because only 2 champs were from there and now rammus has no know connection to it anymore,meaning that Wukong is currently the only plague-jungle related champ(and he is also related to ionia,so it wouldn't be hard to turn him into a full ionian champ)

Thing is, none of that actually matters until it gets officaliazed.

Rioters said Ao Shin was going to be an ionian storm dragon, and Kumungu only has two characters that have specific interactions with it, and neither of them need Kumungu to be its own designated place for them to exist.

You're comparing a champion with design and technical flaws (which is why they should never boast a champion until they're ready) with an area in the lore. Even if the name gets retconned, they'll still want a jungle.

Specifically why Kumungu would have problems is that it would have a lot of trouble being fit in anywhere. A jungle perhaps could be put somewhere, but It would still have all the same problems. What kind of connection would a jungle have, if you've noticed not a single one of the new places are alone anymore, everything is connected to something else.

We don't know what connection KJ will have, so that means they can't create a connection? We barely knew anything about Shurima before they started to fill it out.

Shurima had more than two champions associated to it.
