Straight buffs to evelynn without giving her more damage.

Heya,

Since evelynn reworked I played her a lot. Even so I was doing more or less good but lategame is a nightmare. I can't bring myself to drop a charm on a squishy and if do i can expect it to survive aftewards simply because he got a huge time to get closer to his teammates if it didn't simply regen on myself it it was an adc. (I even build Morello sometimes to prevent this - and it might not be enough)

We all know that: https://imgflip.com/i/1xqtj5

In fact, it is way too high. Between the telegraphed first Q input to mark the enemy and the 2,5s charge time for the charm. Evelynn can't do much even on 1v1. I mean... For 2,5s I need to not hit my opponent if I need a single chance to take him down? And I won't even talk about her R- which is good on paper with her overall kit but is too high on cd when you depends a lot on it to kill.

So here are my two suggestions:

The first one, as most of people seen it already on many topics: Reduce W Charge Time the more points you put into it - up to 1s is plenty enough. MR Reduction could even take a nerf tap on the wrist (-10% at level 5: so 25% MR reduction rather than 35%)

The second one is to give her ult similarities with Lux's R. I can think about some uproar yet.

Both Evelynn and Lux are burst "mages". Even tho Evelynn is more aoe restricted than Lux they both shared similarities: • Brings utility to their team ▬ Slow or Charm + MR Reduction on Eve's W; Shield for Lux's W, Root on Lux's Q and slow on her E. Obviously Lux got more since she's an "immobile" mage and not an "mobile" assassin. • Can burst target on basic abilities but won't be able to kill them (leaving them extremely low) except if highly molly holy ahead. • Needs their ult to confirm a kill on a target. Unlike, Zed, Talon or even Fizz. Definitely can't single target kill. with only her basic abilities. By being as much as telegraphed (i.e. Needs to cast Q four times, waiting 2,5s for her charm to be ready, getting close enough to E...) You definitely can't. Your target would have the team to reposition, trade evenly on you or worse: killing you.

So what i'm proposing as a second change is to both lower her ult CD and giving it partial refund on kill with it. Without nerfing the damage simply because she needs it. The difference between the basic and pseudo execute damage is huge. Really. Usually you won't be able to kill a target if it dealt the basic damage.

As someone who played Lux enough to get M7 on her and who just passed M6 by only playing the new Evelynn (didn't get S on the old one). I think this would help her a lot.

Completely agree with the charm part. It's a pretty lame got to wait 2.5 seconds before opening.

The ult part on the other hand, not so much. It for sure needs a shorter cooldown, as she is extremely reliant on it, but even more is that she needs to be able to assassinate a squishy without it in later stages on the game. She needs more damage on the rest of her abilities, and less on her ult.
