PBE Buffs Complete Reworked Evelynn's Kit

The Eve of Night·Oct 30, 2017·2 votes·516 views

When playing the new Evelynn, it always felt as if something was missing. These buffs, in my opinion, makes her kit feel a lot more like an assassin's. 25 sec cd refunded on ult and placed back into stealth on champion kill, ad scalings on her e so previous AD Eve players don't feel so cheated , damage taken in stealth knocks her out of it for 1.5 sec instead of the full 4 when she actively engages in combat. These additions to her kit should have been there since day one in my honest opinion and I sincerely hope they plan on going through with these changes. They don't fix the major gripe I still have about the champion (lack of mobility) but they will definitely make her feel more fluid and fun to play. These buffs probably won't go through but I'm holding on to hope.

I just want them to take off 50 units for the stealth range and drop the charm cook time to 2s.

yeah, the charm cook time is way too long. the moment that giant hazard sign appears on their head, yer opponent's are runnin straight for their tower/team making positioning proper extremely difficult. But because of the long cook time you gotta pop it on them the moment yer in range so that by the time yer ready to go in, you'll proc the charm.

The worry comes from her charm combo. Riot wants to ensure that the enemy has enough time to react to her charm properly, so in addition to the arrow indicator, she has a large detection range and a slow movespeed to make sure she has to break stealth and walk up slowly enough to react to if she enters the radius the instant charm is primed.

The easiest solution is to move the charm arrow indicator to 1 second after starting it instead of 2.5. That lets her have a consistent 1.5 second reaction time to her cc-based combo no matter what they do with her movement speed or stealth radius. It also lets her, with a smaller stealth range and faster approach, do smaller, non-100%-confirm combos using W's quick-proc slow, or to stealth up to a low-health target trying to back or wait for their cooldowns to come back up, and, well ASSASSINATE them using a quick EQR.

She never needed the charm in her old kit and she really doesn't need it in the current one. Her other abilities are mechanically similar to their old versions, and the charm should feel like an auxiliary compliment to her kit rather than something added that takes power away from the parts of Eve people were already familiar with.

She's too slow to reliably flank and catch enemies that are alone

Yeah, they really need to bump up her base movement speed. It use to be 340 (which is already slow) so i have no idea why the hell they nerfed it to 335 AND took away the movement speed steroid from her old kit. They are so worried about making sure Evelynn is healthy to play against that they seemed to have forgotten the primary objective of making the champ fun to play as. If they believe that having perma stealth is so inherently toxic that it means that they have to go so far as to make a champ unfun to play as, then I would rather them just remove it entirely and just put it on an ability like Twitch's or Rengar's stealth. Its pretty ridiculous how ungainly her kit is all because they want to keep her in check. That's not good game design at all and they should know better by now honestly.
