Do you think that Riot will ever introduce a new faction, nation or region?

Or rather do you think that will ever more fully flesh out one of the regions that already exist? Not just by adding a champion (which is always cool), but by providing a simple culture (they don't have to go all out like Bilgewater). But I am curious, I know that there is more to the world of Valoran, and Runterra, there are many places that have been left forgotten, and there is still much unknown and in the shadows about places we even do have a bit of information on. I would like the rest of Runterra to be unveiled and those left over locations inhabited

I mean is the map even still usable, is it still valid?

(We now know that its not)

If so it kind of makes your wonder what kind of champion could come from a place known as... The Bubbling Bog The Howling Marsh The Marshes of Kaladoun The Glade Morgan Pass The Fyrone Flats The Tempest Flats Kaladoun

If the map is not valid, it definitley needs an update. I mean the Serpentine is supposedly in or near Bilgewater based on recent information. And in addition Bilgewater is no near the Shadow Isles, tho its distance from Ionia seems about right. If anything I would like a Map update, to clear up so of these confusions and curiosities.

Even some places that we have champions from I would like to know more about.

We know that they will likely continue to flesh out established places such as the Blue Flame Islands which include Bilgewater and Isle of Buhru ("newly" announced region and birthplace of Illaoi)

What about a nomadic society?

But it still makes you wonder what else could be out there.

Edit:

Riot Must have been checking out this blog http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/site/mount-targon/ They are enhancing the region of Mount Targon YAY

The map is no longer canon this was confirmed already a long time ago.

Anyway I doubt that we'll get completely new nations,but I guess that new regions(like a volcanic one?) wouldn't be odd. I mean the current nations seem to cover already pretty much everything they need.

Well, they introduced Shurima fairly recently, and they retconned a bunch of characters to have some relation to it. So, they're still adding to their world, rather than just fleshing out what they've already got.

Also, Lulu is from the Glade. http://gameinfo.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/game-info/champions/lulu/

Marai or Fizzes race or any Underwater faction would do.

Kaladoun

That place sounds cool and I would love to see someone from there just for the heck of it. Seems to be a rocky place with a river end. It also sounds dwarfish.

By the way, there are confirmed new locations lore-wise, and later champions might hail from these too.

It's inevitable. Whenever a game starts losing sales or players, they introduce something new to get people back.

I think Im gonna have to Update my Ethel Champion concept. She is a much better fit for the new Targon than Demacia

Do we need more factions ? Shurima - Covers ancient civilization Noxus - Covers the token violent guys Demacia - Covers the token good guys Piltover - Covers advanced science Zaun - Covers crazy science Glade - Covers Fairies and whimsical magic Void - Covers aliens Jungle - Covers most beastial champions Freljord - Covers all ice related champions Wanderer - Covers all overpowered champions Shadow Isles - Covers undead champions Ionia - Covers most martial art oriented champions Bilgewater - Covers Pirates and stuff

I don't see a design where you need to make up another faction as most themes are part of or covered by the existing factions.
