Further indirect Eve nerfs...
As you guys know, tier one jungle items got their costs increased. What does this do? It nerfs squishy junglers who take a lot of creep damage early on in the game.
Oh my god. I know
's not the healthiest champ in the game. I know sitting at your turret and/or draining your gold for pinks is not fun for players. But Riot, are you seriously okay with Evelynn being this weak? Her "buffs" in patch 5.1 didn't DO anything to help her terribad early game. Her mana regen on her passive is equal if not less than before because honestly; who TRIES to stay at 0% mana? (It went from restoring 1% maximum mana to 2% of missing mana for those who don't remember. These means at 50% it breaks even, so more regen when she's low, less when she's higher. But still less overall because getting to exactly no mana would make no sense unless you're trying.) On hit effects on Ravage? Great, except now that Eve is a fighter tank so it's not like it's going to matter in an extended fight anyway. And that's not going to help as she's tediously kiting back and forth her camps for 7 minutes because she can't take their damage for the first and 2nd trips to her buffs.
Seriously, I don't play jungle much, but my favorite's always been
when I do. Riot, please do something. Have the hate spikes' increased ratios be flat at all ranks. (+55% AP and 75% AD at max rank, be the case at all ranks.) Or maybe increase the base damage by 10 at all ranks (30/45/60/75/90 -> 40/55/70/85/100)
's base health stats go from 531-2061. While her lvl 18 health isn't to bad, her base health is less than several ranged champions. Her mana pool goes from 266-1031. Again, not to bad later on, but early that is a small mana pool. All I'm reasonably asking is to make her god-awful early game not so god-awful. (And maybe change her ult damage back to maximum health instead of current, especially since DFG'S been removed.)
Just please remember
balance team.
in ranked when I have to jungle because playing Eve's early levels are so tedious and nervewrecking, you know? Later on I'm fine, but the early clear is sometimes so hard to deal with.
