Why is there no Bandle City in the Runeterra map? (And other map questions)

Edit: I think I viewed it earlier than it may have updated because I now see the specific shiny symbol on the map. It definitely wasn't there before for me! Interesting :)

Like... ok. You're just gonna overlook all of these champions? Corki Lulu Teemo Tristana Veigar Poppy Ziggs Kennen Kled I know champions like Poppy, Ziggs, Kennen and Kled all have ties to other areas in their lore but they came from Bandle City, no? Why did you leave out an entire species' birthplace? Seems pretty weird considering how much effort you put into this map, which I love.

Or even Nami? Nami You even label the "Marai Territory" next to Mt. Targon and yet you can't see anything about it, even though you created a whole multi-page story about her trial.

Pepe is sad!

(I also wish you could follow one character's entire lore arc, I.E. Taliyah moving from Shurima to Noxus to Freljord and then her 'Homecoming' back to Shurima. Meh.)

As others have stated, Bandle City is not in the same realm as Runeterra anymore. The only BC markings on the map is a portal to BC that randomly changes locations each time you refreshed the map.

As for Nami, don't worry. There's a small amount of champs not featured on the map. This is mostly due to them not being tied to any of the major faction/regions. But Riot is still planning to add them all to the map. Riot isn't done with the map. Just like League in general, Riot will continue to add to the map as story content is released.

Bandle City is there, it is between Freljord and Demacia.

Bandle city appears in the map as portals because is no longer in Runeterra itself, is another dimension. If you look closely you'll find some of these portals.

**The trials and the league are not canon anymore **(since years ago). If they didn't add an special mark is because it's not detailed enough for now.

PD: I traced the path of Taliyah across Shurima when she came back in this post if you are interested: https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/story-art/vfPutJLE-the-stories-of-shurima
