Let's break this down....

  1. By looking at win statistics (albeit inaccurate), You need to not compare the average win rate. You need to compare the Skill capped win rates. Among players who pro play Evelynn, they are capping out at 59%.

That's extremely LOW for someone proficient with a champ. Her performance is heavily skill capped. That means you can only get "so good" with her and then you plateau. (Even Singed has a 63.1%)

  1. Her ban rate is not the highest.

  2. She just WAS indirectly nerfed with the Electrocute change. She doesn't pull level 2-3 First bloods anymore and falls off on per skirmish damage.

  3. Her win rate has far more to do with players not trying to mitigate her or act correctly when she W's than actual output versus Risk. She's immobile, and can only cc one person, and extremely vulnerable.

  4. The real reason Evelynn is currently pulling high win rates has nothing at all to do with Evelynn. It has to do with the pre-eminence of Conquerer + item 3031 effectively taking tanks out of the game in conjuction with item 3036 item 3071 item 3142 etc.

Teams just aren't running the champs who make Evelynn's life living hell. They are running adc tops. They are running squishy mage mids, adc bots, squishy Supports, and fighter junglers and a few assassins. Chogath Braum JarvanIV Galio LeeSin Maokai LeonaShaco just aren't seeing much play. If they were, Evelynn would be averaging 49%. But because of the nerfs to item 3147 and nerfs to tanks, Evelynn is having a free run of the squishies.

Imma be honest, just use your goodam item 2055 . In my last games i've seen 3 Evelynn , witch 2 ere the enemy. I swear they were all useless. That was probably the player being bad, but still. Yorick on the other hand was bullying silver, and they had to nerf him obviously.

Jokes aside, i can see Evelynn being op in High elo, while on the other hand Yorick did not this nerf. Miss your E and there goes the trade. If the enemy it's smart, he will kill 1/2 ghouls before they can be usefull, and they still nerfed his damage.

Have you tried playing Eve in a game with bad teammates? No priority mid? Okay you never get a scuttle the entire game. You can never counter jungle.

Her dueling ability pre 6 is absolutely garbage. She requires rotations from her team. If she gets invaded she can't fight back easily. If she gets ahead she can early game carry. She can't late game carry.

She's strong, but jax and graves are better.

Do you just look up win rates and complain about the highest one?? Seems like that's what you're doing.

MonkeyKing was the problem, so shhh and listen to balance team they are smart and got the best game design ideas.

It's because Yorick being strong calls attention to the fact that yes, towers are in fact a fucking joke right now beyond compare, allowing Yorick to basically backdoor through 3 towers and an inhib before a team can respond. They don't want to fix turrets being made out of unmolded jello because that would effectively lengthen the game.

Evelynn on the other hand is what they would like to call "the meta" and would argue that she's "only strong because the game is geared toward her right now and tanks aren't being picked".

######This is ignoring the fact I have been a 3500 health Yorick with Sterakk's before and literally got bursted down in less than a second by an Evelynn. By herself.

damn spot 29? that is so problematic. Never mind rengar that offers even less counterplay on 7th spot, wukong on 10th, shaco on 22. damn dude she is so problematic.

Nerf the damage in the game already. Evelynn would be fine if her full combo did 50-60% of a squishy's health instead of 100%. Marksmen and mages should do less burst too though, since it's a double-standard otherwise. I am okay with an immobile juggernaut 100-0ing an assassin dumb enough to dive into their melee range though, since that requires a choice on their part compared to a mage/marksmen bursting from range.

Evelynns kind of unfortunately designed to one shot whoever she jumps on. Like lets say she didn't, what would be her options from that point? There's no one in the game that she can afford just just hang around waiting for her CD's to come back up without being killed, so she'd have to ult out and have blown her entire kit for some poke? Then not be able to do it again until the ultie came back up. Unless she gets reworked, she's super volatile to damage nerfs and you'd see her become non-viable really quick if nerfed.
