@Riot Probability of Evelynn's Ravage reverted to Magic Damage?

Takao·Jan 18, 2015·2 votes·708 views

With all the nerfs Evelynn has been plagued with and now the upcoming removal of DFG, which was partly the cause of Ravage (E) being made physical damage, how likely is it now that Ravage will once again become a magic damage skill instead of a physical damage? And maybe upping the damage on Hate Spike?

In fact how likely is it that all the nerfs done to Evelynn will be reverted now that DFG is being removed from the game? After all, wasn't it because that she had too much burst (as an assassin with stealth) during the mid game with DFG that she was hit with all those nerfs?

Thanks!

Wouldn't count on it as long as Evelynn has a toxic passive. The ability to ignore green wards is simply too damn broken.

Which only has bearing during laning phase. Once laning phase ends that passive doesn't mean anything since it doesn't give her any extra damage or survivability for teamfights, taking towers, or fighting over dragon/baron. If she gets invaded against she is unable to 1v1 any other jungler in the game effectively. She has no gap closer to speak of, subpar damage, no burst, poor itemization due to her core damage spells being split on the damage they do and her innate squishiness, and no hard CC, and her jungle clears are awful due to the lack of damage and the soft reset changes. She isn't even able to split-push effectively since you will quickly get dangerously low on mana should you decide to spam Hate Spike. But I guess that all makes up for the fact that she can walk past green wards because no other jungler can effectively gank lanes when people ward, am I right?

Eve now treats green wards as champions in terms of detecting her, additionally she gets a (!) above her head to let her know that she has been spotted.
Move Eve's passive stealth to her Ult and give her a new Innate.
Remove Eve's passive stealth and give her active stealth on her W.

Pick one if Eve is ever going to get real buffs.
