So, about Evelynn...

I love Evelynn I love playing Evelynn and I love her look and personality and she became the closest thing I could call a "main" without me even noticing

but I have two concerns I play Eve as an AP Assassin Her stealth is a powerful weapon and her core identity, and with my playstyle i can tend to burst down non-tank targets from 100-0 in a matter of 1-2 seconds

Vayne, Katarina, LeBlanc, ect. Once i have Lich Bane and Hextech Gunblade i can reliably sneak up behind them and burst them down with a quick series of buttons, which seems a little out of place with all the work put into delaying the burst damage of "traditional" assassins. As Evelynn i can delete enemies as quickly as the old LeBlanc or Kat with the (almost) guaranteed safety and success of Stealth

Now, im not complaining, the invisible assassin playstyle is why i love Evelynn so much, but it just seems like she was glossed over

I'm very hopeful that she's getting an update in the near future, I recall it being mentioned for early 2017, but i may be mis-remembering, and i heard that Galio and Warwick are the next scheduled. Everyone just likes to hear news about their favorite characters

Yeah, she was an example I noted with the Shaco nerfs.

I find myself getting bursted by her harder than Shaco, on less of a cooldown as well.

TBH I was shocked they left her alone after completely rearranging all the other assassins' kits.

Be careful what you wish for - she will have her kit completely changed in any kind of update, and will most likely lose her stealth with the next iteration.

i doubt that very much

they always strive to preserve a character's identity and her Stealth is absolutely core to that I think her Passive and her Q will remain largely unchanged. not sure about her W, possibly her E reworked and her Ult would definitely be going

i look forward to any changes she gets personally

She is on the VGU list for sometime this year according to meddler and friends.
