Why does Evelynn sound like a ghoulish creep

IAmWoralo·Jul 9, 2018·2 votes·1,559 views

So I just had my headset on for the first time since long and I kept hearing this really creepy (not demon at all) like sound. Turns out Evelynn sounds like she is puking during her autoattacks and Q, to me it sounds like the opposite of what is should sound. I mean yeah she's a demonic sadist that's ridiculously promiscuous and should be sexy with a hint of devilish delight, but not a barfing zombie that sounds like a guy in the first place..

Please fix this, it's not sexy.

o.o I've never noticed this. But I don't think attacks making contact are supposed to sound sexy, especially since Evelyn is also about torture and causing grief to extreme extents.

There's the seductive side, and then the side that revels/thrives in other people's pain and sorrow.

I agree, but then make it at least sound female and humanlike/demon like and not... well this..

I'll pay more attention when I play her next, but if those moves do sound like "a barfing zombie", I can understand wanting to change it. Maybe to something that's more "shadow-y" and "slick"? Like if that shadow really did just solidify into a solid object to kill something.

For a seductress, if they heard her attack sounds she wouldn't charm anyone, not even Amumu

Attack sounds aren't supposed to be seductive. The seductress part is the charming, innocent front. Eve quickly loses that charm once she attacks; especially in the lore (hence her victims screaming in pain).

I completely agree that an inadequate sound should be replaced, but I would also say that her [damage dealing] attacks sounding seductive would be just as unrepresentative of a sound effect.

Those are the sounds of constipation after taco Bell not combat sounds [slayer-pantheon-rainbows]

I never disagreed with what you said they sounded like, I only disagreed with the idea that her [damage dealing] attacks needed to sound more seductive. But, since I wasn't getting her in ARAM recently I booted up a practice game just now and tried all her moves several times; this is my opinion on how she sounds now:

The sounds I hear are nothing like what you describe. You may want to look into getting new speakers or troubleshooting some drivers, as her [damage dealing] moves are mostly "shik" with extra metallic scraping thrown in. They seem appropriate to me, and have none of the guttural nor chunky sounds that I would expect to hear from "constipation" or "puking".

She makes urking sounds, and old eve didn't sound horrendous when she attacked things.....
