Evelynn needs more than nerfs.

Evelynn is a solo queue power house, but she has next to no professional viability. I really hope riot looks into her and make small changes to her kit to really allow competitive incentive.

She's only good because she has near 3x the damage of old Evelynn. Her new kit sucks. I like the W charm animation, but I'd much rather have her old W. Her new E also disappoints me. I prefer the 2x on-hits and the move speed on E feels kind of pointless. The Q is worse than old Q in a way, but not bad enough to hate it(as it's way more damage), and the R is great. The W and the E just aren't as good kit-wise and I miss the hybrid scaling, but I'd be fine with just having the old movement speed and old E back.

She honestly feels like she has less dmg, i could kill ppl with old eve, with new eve i typically go 0/4

You're probably playing her wrong.

If you are near full build, Evelynn's E alone can almost 1 shot.... even without proccing W. Stop thinking of her Q as her powerhouse. Find ways to prioritize E, and you'll get kill after kill.

First time i ever had to look up a guide on a champ, and i still cant kill anyone with her, watched videos and everything, she honestly just feels shitty asf to play after the rework

Kinda like how Aatrox is good in competitive, but in soloqueue lacks solo agency due to the shotty balancing of his kit (having his heal be POST-mitigation instead of pre-mitigation. No matter how much damage he does, the post part just kills any good amount of healing). Hopefully Riot looks into both of our champions to fix both of their issues.

I don’t agree. If you too lane streamers the majority of them are playing Aatrox. He’s very viable in solo queue.

Yeah, if you can get your team to work with you AT ALL, hence solo agency. Pro's are likely gonna succeed with the champ (or popular streamers as well) because of the pressure one gets when playing in a game with said person. Makes people want to do their fucking hardest so their name doesn't get tarnished. Outside of that, people are gonna give less fucks about shit.

I haven't been watching the pros use him though. Mostly Diamond tier players and a few plat. I think the biggest problem isn't Aatrox's kit and balance I think it is just the nature of solo queue. Everyone wants to be the hero and carry so when they need to work around another champion like Aatrox, they don't make the decision to do so.

My experience with Evelynn:

You can always "carry" with her, but like every other Assassin that carries every game, she actually isn't carrying. Even if you go 30/3 on Evelynn, you can lose the game, simply because of the need to reset her kit after you use it. That limits your ability to team fight, split push, or protect a base.

You have no idea how many Evelynn games I've lost.... only because ... to kill 5 people, I had to wait for Demon shade to come back up per target..... while they are attacking my base. I might kill 3 before they take the nexus.
