Eveylnn Rework

's rework is okay... Her lore, and model is amazing- but gameplay wise is lackluster. I understand that it's a nightmare to balance stealthy champions but I think Riot really need to go back to the 'drawing' board. Not being able to gank effectively before 6 feels awful, and when you hit 6 the camo-radius is too big in combination with the telegraphed 'mark' ability. The E ability is somehow more useless than the old one. She's also feels REALLY weak to fight anything. The passive that lets Evelynn heal out of combat is kind of weird ( is that you?) .

's Ultimate is awesome, it has a lot of playmaking potential

All of these 'minor' quirks add up, maybe try removing some of them?

What do you guys think of the Evelynn rework?

The heal isn't bad, but if I had to choose between the heal and the movement speed boost while camouflaged I'd take the movement speed boost hands down. Her W's not a bad ability. I don't even care about the 2.5 second cast time. I just hate that the only "engage" off of it is her Q skillshot. I'm not even complaining about it being hard to land, but Eve's movement speed with no dashes makes it so that if they run away like a sensible person you can't do anything. It's sad when Sej can gank better than Eve.

I can kind of see the mentality with the people at Riot when it came to eve. They wanted to make her a "healthy" champion and whatnot. The thing is, she was never SUPER strong, and a lot of the changes they made to her are just DIRECT Nerfs. No passive movement speed, her burst takes 2.5 seconds to actually happen, increased range on detection radius, hate spikes now have ammo and have long cooldowns. If you take a step back, it's like they thought old Eve was an INSANELY strong character or something. She wasn't. She was a twig lategame, and when champs built MR cough Hexdrinker cough she'd die even in a 1v1 which was supposed to be her strong suit. Fighting Xin Zhao, Nunu or anyone else with good CC or anyone that can just ignore you and then do damage to you like Master Yi, she'd die. She wasn't super strong. She didn't need a nerf.
