Why no Bandle City Icon?

They added those new region icons to cover every region shown in the map... but one, and that one is Bandle City, that even though it can be seen in the map, and it has an icon there, isn't available as a summoner icon in the current map event.

I presume that they are keeping it for when the Bandle city update comes, but for me at least it feels strange that they left that one out, even more if we realize that in the current map event those that already had 1 icon from past events can get 100 blue essence instead.

Couldn't we use that same system to get the bandle icon now, and later on when they roll up the bandle event get 100 blue essence instead?

What's a "Bandle City"?

Can I eat it?

Because we all know Bandle City is a raspberry patch out behind Piltover that highschool kids drink in.

Because we haven't discovered that yet

I mean Bandle city in the new lore is not necessarily a tangible place... you have to take a portal to get there and that portal could be a grain of sand or a mushroom in the jungle.

Probably waiting for the city's event.

There has been many other threads on Bandle City, and while Reds have posted in a lot of other topics, there isn't a single Red message in ANY Bandle thread. I'm convinced there is a coordinated embargo on information about Bandle City.

Now the question is: why? Probably something big that's supposed to come out soon and they want to keep a surprise, I guess. But what exactly, I've no idea.
