So.......how many more retcons are coming our way in the near future...I'm curious
Genuinely curious now.....with even more retcons now, I just want to know if there's going to be more changes.

Overall I think you can expect a retcon for every champ who hasn't had a big lore update or wasn't featured in a recent story.
& 
are most likely going to be ascended instead of angels(and even if they don't go with that route you can expect big lore changes for them),
will also most likely receive a huge lore retcon and Bandle city will most certainly get changed too.
All I can say is hold on tight because the lore team is about to throw everything 180
The Darkin retcon into being Shurimans killed me on the inside.
You mean like how Kayle and Morgana aren't actually angels, but are, most likely, corrupted by a Darkin?
I would expect at least a Targon retcon, involving the extension of the empire, its place of origin, its purpose, the reason for ASol's slavery and how powerful Aspects are.
They will retcon the life out of the lore until it is just one big void story....Yay fun I love it !
Hmm... let's see...
Bandle City: Will almost definitely get retconned. It still needs an update, and every champion there has an out-of-date lore. Bilgewater: Will almost definitely NOT get retconned. It's Rito's most successful region, and the fact that nothing was heavily changed in the second update to it that came earlier this year means that it's pretty much set in stone. Demacia: Parts of it will probably get retconned. Galio, Garen, Jarvan IV, Lux, Poppy, Quinn, Shyvana, and Vayne have had their lore updated. Fiora (?), Kayle, Lucian, Morgana, Sona, and Xin Zhao have not been updated, although due to the events in Shadow and Fortune we can probably bet that Lucian's is mostly the same. Freljord: Is in the process of currently getting retconned, and we'll probably see a lot of that after Nunu's release. Ornn, Nunu, and Liss are updated. Ionia: There's a ton of champions here, and most of them have already been updated. Only Kennen has yet to be updated. Given the fact that a lot of stories have taken place here, I don't think it's changing soon. Mount Targon: Zoe's release basically proves that the general gist of Mount Targon is still canon. Leona and Diana may change character-wise but their goals will probably be largely the same. I have no idea what Soraka's deal is, though. Expect her to get an update. Noxus: Only a few champions have their lore updated: Darius, Draven, Katarina, Kled, LeBlanc, Riven, and Swain. Expect Talon, Sion, Vlad, and Cass updates. Noxus seems pretty stable with worldbuilding, however. Piltover: Every champion here, except Heimer (who will probably get an update at the same time as the other Yordles) is up-to-date. I don't think the Ezreal VGU will even change much about his lore, although it might expand on Piltover. Probably stable, but we'll have to wait until after the Ezreal VGU to be sure. Shurima: Azir, Nasus, Renekton, Xerath, Taliyah, and Sivir are probably still the same. The entire Ascended arc probably still happened. Expect retcons for Amumu, Skarner (maybe with a VGU), and Rammus (again, maybe with a VGU). Shadow Isles: Every champion there is up-to-date, at least since the Great Retcon. They'll probably remain canon. Void: Kai'sa, Kassadin, Malzahar, and now Vel'Koz are up-to-date. Expect retcons for the rest. Thematically, however, it seems to be the same from a few months ago. Zaun: Blitz, Mundo, Ekko, Janna, Jinx, Urgot, Viktor, Warwick, and Zac were all updated at the same time. Singed, Twitch, and Ziggs are not fully updated, although we know Singed is pretty similar from his run-in with Warwick, and Ziggs is still around from "Paint the Town". I don't think they'll be getting another rewrite. Misc. champs: A mixed bag with this. Aatrox, Annie, ASol, Brand, Eve, Fizz, Nami, Ryze, and Tahm Kench have been fully updated. Jax and Nocturne have appeared in the updated canon, but they haven't gotten new lore themselves. The rest of the champions (Ali, Bard, Fiddle, Kindred, Malphite, Nidalee, Shaco, Zilean, and Zyra) are due for a retcon.
It’s really quite obvious that if a champion hasn’t received the full update, their lore is liable to change a little.
The entire lore was ret-conned almost so...
