An angry Evelynn main

IAmWoralo··1 votes·893 views

http://i.imgur.com/muPSM5l.jpg Say what you want, but last season I was P4 and going strong with Evelynn. Right now you can see my match history looks pretty damn terrible. I can win a game as AD Janna, but I am not able to secure a win playing my Eve main. You can say what you want but this is not just me having a bad streak, this is just the state of Evelynn right now.

Her very early game is still ok, and you can get 3/0 in no time and that stil happens a lot, but then I think I got it and fing out that I don't because she starts getting weaker and weaker as the game progresses, her mid game is weak and her late game is plain sh*t. Before Eve used to have a pretty good mid game even when her early wasn't great, but right now she can't engage on anything mid or late game, not even from a perfect flanking position, because there is either too much cc or too many protective items keeping the enemy carries alive.

I'm pissed and so done with this game right now, it keeps dissapointing me, I have to keep switching from one champion to the other just because of the game and not because I want to. Everything I love to play ends up being nerfed and destroyed. I have a Diamond 2 friend who mained Akali 2 seasons ago, you know what he did? He quit. He didn't even try anymore he just quit ranked.

remove graves from that list. Fuck that rework. My fav ADC got turned into a Jungler that I hated playing. So i no longer have an ADC i actually enjoy playing. I barely enjoy Jhin so im basically fucked if i get filled to ADC now.

Don't forget krug camp is now a waste of time

Remember that pros play a different League of Legends than us. You can still take Graves ADC. His burst is arguably higher now, just requires a CC support to pull off effectively and wave management. I've seen plenty do well in that role as Graves. He's just -better- in the jungle for many.

You haven't played long enough if you don't know of the Viktor rework.

viktor rw was garbage

Went from a champion that saw no play to one of the best mid laners for an entire season and still pretty fucking good. I'ma go with statistics on this one.

pre rework Viktor will always hold a place in my heart but yea.... he is significantly better now.

The best parts of Pre rework Viktor were

The Q did more immediate damage and the shield was bigger. The rework just dropped its damage and shielding and added an auto enhancement. And overall upgrade but still. small shield is a FeelsBadMan

W was unchanged

E was unchanged

R was unchanged. Then they changed him again and the ult does huge ticks now.

The biggest difference in the rework was the Hex Core. It went from kind of shit to godlike.

You used to only be able to augment 1 ability. And Everyone always bought Augment Death. It made your E do damage over time additionally if you hit a target. It was the hardest yasuo counter in the game lol. You hit him with E right before the shield came back up and the DOT would proc it immediately.

I loved pre-rework Vik too because maxing laser and quick buying Death at 1k gold was so cheesy and nearly impossible to lose lane with especially since no one knew what the champion was in solo queue so no one knew how the fuck to fight him.

New Q is much better. If you remember, old Q gave you the shield when siphon returned to you as a projectile, and I've died countless times to that. Now it's instant. Now it also gives extreme synergy with lichbane.

W the same.

E the same, lost some base damage I believe though.

The ticks on the ults were one of the best things to do to that spell for more burst.

The main rework was hexcore yes, and it was indisputably better. If you simply ignore the fact that now 4 abilities are augmented instead of just one, it also gives crazy stats to turn it from a 5.5 item max build to what is essentially a 6.5.

Q gave him insane synergy now with Rylai's and lichbane, moreso than before in terms of rylai's now that you got a speed up with the slow. Plus insta shield is nice, and with thunderlords, it's better functionality overall.

W pulls everyone in, which is godlike in so many ways. Aside from providing more CC/displacement, it sets up the perfect wombos not only for your combo but for any aoe on the team.

E is situationally better. Admittedly this was the most broken aspect of Vik's old kit since for 1k gold you'd sit at like 100+AP with a high damage nuke with a DOT attached if so much as the tiniest of slivers of hitbox tapped you. But, with his W and in general, it does more damage overall now I believe as long as you hit both. Also amazing for wave clear.

R's speed increase was amazing. Makes escaping nearly impossible, especially if a Rylai's is built.

I'll never forget picking up the forgotten champ Viktor before his rework and climbing hard with that cheesy death upgrade (Death laser, ignite, ult....burst of Lux, DOT of swain as I called him). But the rework made him competitive and he's really never gone under since.

Poppy only got more popular and became viable in pro play because she has good synergy with good teamwork now. Galio was strong before but unpopular. Sion? Taric, just as shit Xerath wasn't much of a rework and more of a tweak. Cass better? I really pref the old cass, don't see her that much either. Ashe just got a bit better. Graves isn't an ADC anymore.

Nahui1 votes

Poppy became popular because she became a great team champion instead of a binary, relatively shitty one.

Galio wasn't that good. He was there for his ult only and had glaring mana problems. New Galio is undisputably better kit wise and functionality wise.

Sion's rework improved old Sion. Old Sion, idk if you were around for it, was some awkward juggernaut tank fighter thing that really only was played AP as a cheesy, counter-playless nuke mage.

Taric isn't great but still improved him, as he wasn't some afk aura champ now.

Xerath definitely was a rework. Reworked the stun, took out the root, gave him a new spell, Q's functionality was changed, and his ult became more artillery. And still an improvement, especially with the passive.

Cass has to be given credit for pro play if you give poppy pro play credit. She is staple in pro play largely due to her game breaking ult and her unique grounding (Soon to share with singed). She is incredibly good now that her E isn't dependent on landing the poison.

Ashe got the new focus mechanic and removed the mana cost of slowing. It was definitely a rework and now she sees consistent play.

Graves is an ADC, just not bot lane. He's just as ADC but in the jungle, and he certainly sees more consistent play now and not just when his base damage is broken beyond belief.

Not accurate. Reav3 stated that the current order is Kayn, Urgot, another new champion and then Eve. I believe it was also Reav3 (or possibly Meddler) who stated that Eve is currently set to release after Worlds 2017 ends. Given that information, the earliest that Eve will be released is in late October or (more likely) sometime in November.

Play things that aren't deserving of nerfs.

For example you may want to play fiora, but instead try riven.

IAmWoralo1 votes

That's nice but this season she's been shit. I'm hoping Kayn will be good so I can have something new. But I am just pissed that individual champion skills is becoming less and less important.

kayn you know that he too will be nerfed into the ground

Your meta build is the reason why - it is all early and mid game items. You have zero penetration, and bad late game dmg.

Try making a hydra, titan, or even gunblade for some in-fight sustain, and try making void staff if they have MR, or a rylai/liandry's combo for tank hp shredding late game.

Eve's best late game build is AD - try Trinity Force and Wit's end as well.

You have to get creative and build for late game and don't build the same items every time. Eve is one of the most flexible champs in the entire roster because she scales well with both AD and AP, and you can even build both and still do well.

They accidentally pushed ap Eve further away with how weak the ap jungle item is. Tank, ap bruiser and on hit see more success unless you straight up replace the jungle item with ludens. Which then puts you behind in gold.
