Trundle was changed to be a Frost Troll from a Jungle Troll. However, do Jungle Trolls still exist?

Agreed! maybe there are more types of Trolls or should I say there should be a Race where trolls, Orcs, Goblins and Gremlins reside in Runeterra. Maybe a new name/ unique name like vastaya to call them. But I think their race is gonna be like endangered because maybe human sought to kill theme because they're ugly/dangerous. maybe except in the trolls in freljord or Goblins in kumungu?

Example:

They're commonly seen in (but they can also travel):

Trolls - freljord Orcs - Noxus (Orc Gladiators?? yes!) Goblins - Kumungu Jungle

I thought this post was about midlaners with smite going around stealing your camps because you banned Yasuo.

It was a relief to realise this was a lore post.

I really hope Troll lore gets updated in the future.

They're one of my favourite races in League, but Riot usually only uses them as generic villains.

Riot Eggemin: Alright fellas literally nobody wants to ally with Lissandra we need some generic goons she can have as twink boy toys for her to play with.

Some intern at Riot: What about Trolls? Nobody likes Trolls.

Riot Eggemin: That's genius! Woo that was a tough one boys. McDonald's for everyone.

Might exist. Might be suffering horribly in some part of the jungle. As with Jungle!Trundle had such a strong and regenerative body, he could take the entire tribes ailments and live. This tends to go hand-in-hand on the Plague Jungle and Kumungu Jungle's place in the new lore.

Nothing is set in stone, but if Vastaya and Yordle come in many different versions, and reside all around the world, then why shouldn't trolls?

I can see tribes of trolls living in the kumungu jungle, in Ionia, an possibly somewhere in the Noxian empire. The isles near bilgewater, as well as the shadow isles, could harbor some small communities of trolls. Why not?

Of course, Frost trolls are the only canon tribe so far, but the fact that they're called "frost trolls" instead of just "trolls" should hint at the fact that rito wanted to keep the door open for more versions of this race.

Personally I'd like to see a troll either from the jungle or from the shadow isles (so undead), whose kit revolves around vodoo magic and spooky stuff.

Most probably not. One of the reasons trolls are not that talked too much is probably because riot wanted to create their own IP, so having aorund orcs trolls goblins and all about would have been derimental to them. For this reason it seems that they don't want to make other trolls beside ice trolls that existed aniway (at least after Trundle retcon ) due to having a different position early in development.
