Looks like we have a few unexplored areas and a giant Antarctica like continent that needs exploring.

I'm here, and I will BE BACK(!!!) but for those who dabble in Reddit, the AMA will be starting in about 15 minutes:
Now the big question is,
Is Runeterra flat?
IT IS EVEN BETTER THAN I EXPECTED WTF
WAIT WAIT WAIT!!
There is information about Bandle City!
Governance: NONE
RIP Mayor of Bandle City.
To the Rioters who worked on the map update:
marry me.
yes, all of you.
I love you.
u da bess, was worth waiting the 
!
Riot, you guys have outdone yourselves! As a lore fanatic, this map was a great boost to my knowledge of Runeterra as a whole. I really like all the new concepts and art you guys added to each region and it added greatly to the depth. My favorite addition was probably the art tied to the history of the Shadow Isles (Blessed Isles). Already two of my favorite factions (Noxus and the Void) have gotten lore updates, and now the Shadow Isles has gotten a decent sized one too. I am exited to see what will be added to the map next, great job!
I love me some maps.
It is also considerably different from the old one.
Targon has a little beam to the heavens, now that's detail
Me: Do I want to bother using my free time during the summer to work on a tabletop LoL game based on a D20 system... nahh... there's no map to work off of... ( 5 hours later ) Me: ... where did I put my notes.
Love you guys for making the map! Inspiration ahoy!

I am dying to play MMO of League of legends.
Now I want a Piltover marksman wielding this:
The city is making my inner engineer drooling like nothing else ever made me.
Bandle City where?
EDIT: NVM, found it north of Piltover.
Is anyone else having the map not load for them? because mine isn't loading at all :(
Did anyone else notice that Swain is invading Ionia? His home says Noxus, but he's definitely chilling with Irelia. :P
Finally indeed.
What are those islands unlabeled to the west?
EDIT: OH Bandle City!! I like the way you have to zoom in to find it, hint at it's existance right? Although hoped it would be more over in that green part to the east.
Biggest shock for me so far; Bandle City is in the Freljord?!
OK, why does the map take literal 94% of my cpu!?
Tiot optimize this shit I have strong computer and I still can't run it wtf?!
Anyone know where Alistar is?
is it possible to add Kled's territory and give it a border like some of the other countries do?
Since you asked for feedback, here it comes... I love it! I always like to study maps of fictional worlds, they add a whole new layer of consistency to the universe. This one is nicely detailed and animated, an option to click on interesting point is great! I have one question though: I noticed that there's no Institute of War anywhere on the Valoran continent. Does it mean that Riot is drifting from the 'summoners and summoned' idea? New and refreshed lore of the champions contains no info of how they got into League. I understand that previous approach was quite limiting for story writers, but on the other hand Summoner's Rift and all the gameplay makes no sense lore-wise if there is no Institue of War and League of Legends.
