Eve. a tank or an assassin?

Anyone else think Evelynn ult needs a rework? I feel if she is going to be an assassin she shouldn't be able to tank so much, or if she is meant to be a bruiser that her passive is a bit to unfair for someone who would be meant to swing it out.

I think that a champion with high sustained damage, sticking power and defensive steroids can only really be considered a fighter. Looking at Eve's kit, her passive and her ultimate are the only parts that really imply she should be an assassin - her Q, W and E all reward her for sticking to people and whittling them down.

I personally think eve is in a pretty good place, well Gameplay wise, not visually of course :)

Pretty sure the definition of assassin isn't about burst - it's about chase.

Evelynn would probably be best classified as a Fighter / Assassin, I think. She's durable with sustained damage that is difficult to escape from.

Not sure why you think her passive would be unfair on some class designations and not others though.

An assassin is someone who could 1 round you not a chaser. In fact assassins are the farthest things from chasers. They wait on their CDs and for the opportunity to go all in and then get away. Eve is just a fighter

Vayne is an assassin, you know. The common factor between the assassin label isn't burst. It's the capability to get to priority targets. Chasing, isolating, zoning, outmaneuvering, but the kill doesn't need to be done quickly for those to happen.

I think regardless of what we think now, she will be getting a full thematic overhaul, which I have no doubt will be accompanied by kit changes.

The current issue is Riot has no clue in what direction they want to take her.
