Riot Can You Plz Update the World Map Already

I've basically had enough of this. The current world map is an eyesore. The closest we've gotten to an updated map is the one depicting the new Freljord. It's been, what, 3-4 years ago that you said the map would be updated? It shouldn't take this long for you guys to get around to doing. Just take some artist, some of the lore department and whoever else and just get them working on this. It should take them less then a month, two at max. I don't care if you have to wait until worlds is over to actually get started. I just don't want to look at a map that's extremely outdated anymore. This is something so small that you easily just get it done super quickly and continue right on whatever schedule you have with little to no trouble.

Who needs a map?! Ezreal In all seriousness though, they've said they're working on it. I don't know how long they've said that, but I do know your feels. All we can do is hope, I guess. [zombie-nunu-bummed]

I really want to find out once and for all what places have been Retconned. Places like the Plague jungles and Urtistan only have the one champ from each place and I have no idea if Riot is just going to remove those places or if they still exist despite only having one champ that live in them. All the other places I can pretty much guess as to their location (which makes it even more concerning that a map hasn't been made yet). Bandle City is a neighbour of Ionia, Ionia is at lease a boat ride away from Noxus, Bildgewater is a very creepy boat ride away from the Shadow Isles, Demacia has some land between them and Noxus, etc, etc. But I can't say as to what goes where when there are still places that may or may not exist. Is that the only thing holding back the map? These nearly pointless locations that just about no champs are even from? If it is, just remove them. MonkeyKing would be better off completely Ionian and I'm sure Zilean would fit right in with Piltover or Zaun.

Well, Ionia is confirmed as another continent, outside of Valoran, and Bandle City might not be so cut-and-dry anymore. Sorry, I'm being kinda picky. Anyway, I agree with what you're saying.

Bandle City could be an island off the coast of Ionia. I would say that it might not be anywhere near Ionia now, but Kennen 's lore at least puts them in within proximity of each other. Also I'm not sure about this part, but I think they have some sort of alliance, which would make sense since Ionia is a neutral state and Bandle City doesn't seem like the kind of place that would be involved in war either. Don't get me wrong, things could have changed and it's not like Kennen 's lore is up to date (mentions the League of Legends at the bottom), but it's one of those things that would make you wonder why they would bother to change it.
