Hypothetical New Evelynn Ultimate

Ultimate:~~ Agony's Embrace~~ Removed.

NEW Ultimate: Shadow Strike.

Evelynn leaps a large distance in any direction she chooses, passing through any walls or terrain. If there is an enemy champion in her path, she will latch onto them, dealing a burst of magic damage increasing based off the enemy champion's missing health. If she successfully kills that target, Eve can leap the same distance again in any direction she chooses, but will not latch other champions. Her W will also be reset as normal. If she does not, she will root the enemy champion for one second before quickly jumping off and landing next to them.

The ultimate is a "skillshot" dash, so it can miss.

The ultimate would have a little flat damage, scaling a bit with AP and AD, but the majority of the damage would be the execute, which wouldn't scale with any damage source.

Reasons for the new Ult:

  1. Eve is an assassin who doesn't really feel "assassiny." This new ult would make her play patterns more in line with an assassin playstyle.
  2. Give Eve options in her ganking power, and make her ganking less frustrating. If she uses her ult for the CC, Eve won't have the damage to take out her target by herself most likely, so she's only rewarded for proper coordination with her teammate. And if Eve want's to kill a target herself, she'll want to use her ult to SECURE the kill, giving her opponents more time to react to her.

Phew... Well, it's just something I came up with at the top of my head after seeing Eve's new splash. But I really think Eve could use a gameplay update, even if that doesn't mean outright BUFFS, per say. It's understandable her other abilties be weak to compensate for the power of her passive, but that doesn't excuse her basic abilities from being boring IMHO.

Evelynn

Whoo hoo, there she goes

This sounds awesome. The way I picture Evelynn currently is an apparition of sorts that weaves in and out of stealth, siphoning her targets dry. The only problem I have with the ultimate suggestion listed here is that if I had to guess, I'd say they're going to use a similar concept for Warwick's ultimate, being that it is currently point and click.

Leaping resets are on kha and Tristana. I don't think we need more.

The only problem I have is the "missing health" part. If I were using this ult, I'd use it kinda talon style, to catch (full health) targets caught out and assassinate them with a combo. In this case, I'd ignitiate the engage using the ult. If the damage is done based on missing health, then the ult would do very little damage and you'd have to rely on AAs+other abilities to actually deal damage.

Now if I'm chasing somebody and they flash away, I could ult to execute them after the flash, but generally my priority would be to jump on their adc in a tf immidiately rather than when they're low.

Otherwise it's a good concept for a reworked ult.
