Did something happen to mandrake ward? I haven't heard too much about it for a while, has it been abandoned or is it just in hiatus for now?

Nothing's been done with it at the moment. It was an experiment into different ways of offering vision/map awareness with the assumption going in being that we probably wouldn't ship it. We do a fair bit of experimental testing like that, though most of it doesn't end up on the PBE, since development time's often more of a limitation than lack of feedback.

So...do you guys have any plans to balance Evelynn's stealth then, or are you just moving on to other higher priority projects?

There's already an exploit you can use to reveal Eve with vision wards + green wards without her knowing she was revealed, and it has been around for at least an entire season (possibly YEARS).

You pop a vision ward on one side of a wall, and a green ward on the other side of the wall, and the green ward will reveal her.

tbh you have no right to complain about Eve when this bug/exploit exists.

i mean

it's not really a feature that's working as intended. i get that it's counterplay to eve's stealth, but it's not supposed to be there and not many people are going to know this is a thing

Spread it until more people know about it then.

Maybe Riot will FINALLY fucking fix it.

thats not really an exploit. the green ward is getting rid of her stealth and the green ward is revealing her body while the pink ward is removing stealth.

It doesn't reveal wards or any other form of stealth. ONLY Eve.

It's a bug. The green ward doesn't have true-sight, because the vision ward is behind the wall.

It seemed pretty useful for mid-laners though cause it gave range to the sides of river not just the brush.
