@Riot, New Eve; How did she fare being played Top/Mid in testing?

Title. I love playing top, and Eve certainly has me excited ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) (Which is saying a lot, because my champion pool is rather small). In your testing, how did she do when played there? I can see her being okay at it, with E being maxed first for the poke and relatively low mana cost, and the health regen keeping her in the game if she gets beat up a bit. The invisibility wouldn't be a terrible thing once 6; head mid/bottom, and teleport back top after a gank.

Just curious. How does everyone else feel about it?

they made her new kit even more pigeon holed into jungling

the current Eve is better at Laning believe it or not.

Terrible i would hope given she is a jungler primarily.

her laneing is prettymuch dead, E has WAAAAY to low bases to be maxed anything but last and way to little range for proper harras, her skillorder is Q>W>E, and that's basically set in stone with the current values. And her Q is much worse now for harras and CSing as most off it's damage is tied to the initial skillshot that can easily be avoided if you stay in your minions. Her E is alos worse for early all-in trades, the W is easily disengaged, and she lacks any for of disengage/escape befor ult so she's a very easy target for ganks or strong early all-ins.

Overall, i hate that rework, she's pigeon holed into one skill order, one built(ad, hybrid, on-hit or bruiser are all no longer viable) and one position, her gameplay is very hit or miss with little to no middleground, her teamfighting sucks and she totally lacks the mobillity that i loved about her. Either you find your way from stealth into W range on an isolated target and just pop it, or you do nothing as you can't stick to someone, have bad dps, no survivabillity and the only disengage is the execute ult. No more danceing around fights, dipping in and out of combat, it's basically the AP version of Kah, find your way to an isolated target and pop it or be usless. She feels like snowballling of her still very potent early 1v1 and ganks is the only way to get something done, cause as soon as your opponents group and hold one CC back for you, you're basically removed from the game.
