It's nice that you listen to your playerbase on Evelynn.

Oh wait... You don't. (I'm going to "attempt" to be nice about this because I actually want a response)

"You can barely get past two camps, plz fix Riot" Players. "Ok let's buff her mid and late game and that will fix the issue!" Riot.

I mean... What in the actual... lol. She did need buffs at those points and this does partially fix them(Although this now pigeon holed everyone into one viable build path and it's one that takes forever to ramp up in power because the other routes that could use this E buff take as much gold as a laner. lel gl with getting that much gold.).

But her first couple jungle clear are still complete crap... Yay thanks for listening to what we Eve players wanted! I can't even count on my hands how many Evelynn mains go on here telling you what's really wrong with Evelynn and give our own ideas/opinions on how to fix them for both ends of players(those playing and playing against).

You know Riot. It would be awesome if we just had an open discussion on Evelynn with you guys and we the players. Because honestly, you just keep taking Evelynn in directions none of us Evelynn players even enjoy. It's like you don't even communicate with us about Evelynn... That's probably because you really don't... At all...

I'm upset still. Was theory crafting all kinds of ways to make use of these changes. Gl trying any of them because you still die to the second or third damn camp on Evelynn. Only strat that works is do red buff and gank level 2. If it fails well you might as well afk because the camps are going to f you up.

Only playerbase they listened to was lee sins.

So they messed up. But at least they're still working on her. They know she's not where they want her to be, they just haven't figured out how to fix her yet.

It is a buff to first clear if and only if you start and smite Krugs.

video of clearing 3 camps before backing in 4.21

Now you can do Krugs > Razorbeaks > Red with one potion left over, unlike in the video. Have not got around to testing other routes since the change.

If you're interested, I can show you how can you not die to the 3rd camp. You don't need gold mumbo-jumbo masteries for that. It's still bad and not pretty to look at, but it can be done consistently.

You can do 3 csmos though is it rough, 4 is barely possible i think

Riot has told us that they're aware that our dear Eve is far from where we'd like her to be, but that they have no idea where to go with her. It's not that they're not listening. It's that they want to keep Eve under tuned until they can work her out. She's still playable, but only barely.
Now that said, we'd all love to have a chance to talk with Riot about what we'd like, and have been asking for it for a while. Whether or not Riot is responding, I imagine they've at least seen some of the ideas posted here based on how they respond to other topics. We just need to keep talking about what we want until they decide she's worth fixing based on something they see here.

Now, I'm not an Eve player, but I find this method of balance absolutely disgraceful. If something is such a problem for the balance team, I'd think riot should make that champ priority numero uno so she isn't just sitting in the dumpster for another year. If one of my favorite champs got this sort of treatment, I'd be raising hell all over the place. It's just bad design, especially when it's content people could potentially pay money for. Hopefully riot grows a brain and makes something good for you guys soon, Eve has had a pretty rocky history, she deserves to get whatever issues fixed post haste.
