The one change Evelynn requires to be well rounded (metaphorically speaking)

When Evelynn casts either version of Whiplash and get's disrupted before physically dealing any damage with the ability, she does not gain the short duration movement speed buff that comes along with its use.

It is such a small minor thing, but I feel that casting the ability should grant the movement speed buff, not physically doing damage with it.

There are so many times that a walk into the brush cancels the damage from Whiplash where she should be able to benefit from having cast it since the ability goes on Cooldown once used, and that is one lengthy cooldown if she just happens to be taking damage at the time, which is pretty much 100% of the time she is visible. As her only real means of dealing burst damage, if that burst damage is denied, she really ought to retain the personal benefit of the movement speed since it cannot be spammed. Consider how many Gap-closers would be targeting her, and how many of those gap-closers are not ultimate abilities, then consider Lee Sin.

Lee Sin gets the benefits of his passive regardless if he's using his gap-close on a live target or not. Evelynn can ONLY Whiplash to live targets, and even then, she only has 1 means of getting out which effectively end's her skirmish.

Just saying, I think that she should gain the benefit of Whiplash on-cast, even if it shortens the duration of how long she is using the buff from it (shaving off maybe .1 seconds or something so totally minor like that).

Thanks.

There are literally people in this thread that think this champ is weak or needs help.

i think Evelynn would rather enjoy the pain that comes from the player not gaining the movement speed

Eve should be reverted. She's too slow and does no damage anymore

Lmao, Eve is strong right now. She's just no longer braindead easy mode to play.

All I am saying is that when Whiplash goes on CDR, it should be accompanied by a Burst of Speed as noted in the description. The description of the skill states she gains 30% Movement Speed for 2 seconds. Those 2 Seconds are critical, and there are several enough ways to block the damage or disrupt her ability to complete the ability, but why should she be forced to lose out on the Movement Speed if she actually was able to activate the skill?

I know it is a small minor thing that almost seems like a negligent detail, but if the skill goes on CDR without dealing damage (if the target dies, becomes untargetable, or vanishes as in the case of LeBlanc , Shaco, Akali, she will likely be slowed or CC'ed. There's literally no way out. Let her keep her movement speed buff so that she can have options left. We must remember, she only has 3 damaging abilities and a passive that does not function until level 6, which is generally speaking, half of the game.
