Some more Evelynn feedback & suggestions (specifically hate spike)
So some more games in. I am getting used to her, its finally starting to feel like the way she was before at least for me. Today i noticed some PBE changes on her hate spike :
Hate Spike (Q) cooldown lowered from 8 seconds at all ranks to 6 seconds at all ranks cooldown refund for hitting a monster lowered from 60% to 30% initial dart damage increased from 25/30/35/40/45 to 35/40/45/50/55 spike damage increased from 25/30/35/40/45 to 35/40/45/50/55
^After many games on new
i feel as though her hate spike is already strong enough its much more satisfying than old eve to spam. My first issue here i really think her charm or something should give 3 additional charges of hate spike at half the mana cost rather than this direction in this case i am purposing some more quantity perks over more raw base damages and a increased delay.
I also wanna note her entire kit relies way too much on landing the W charm for damage, there's many and i mean MANY instances where the "pause" before you can pop the charm creates too big of a window of vulnerability in 1v1 combat, the fact that you CANT attack before it lands but at the same time you want it to hit so your target does not escape. Additionally WHEN the W is on cooldown along with Q there is far too much DPS delay in combat she doesn't have the attack speed steroid in her E anymore. During the pause she should be able to land more hate spikes IF you land the charm.
Also the 8 to 6 seconds wont change much the fact that there IS a delay at all that came with the rework is already awkward for me at least.
2nd issue is the initial dart arrow, this addition in general made her require a bit more mechanics as missing the initial dart is VERY punishing for clear times especially raptors. I am suggesting to have the arrow by default remember the last direction the last hate spike went in, just the last direction. What happens is that the cooldown is very punishing so you wanna make sure you hit it every time and sometimes when your really fast ESPECIALLY if you played a lot of old eve, your very prone to fuck up and click often the complete opposite direction of where you wanna shoot it.
