I may or may not be reading to far into this, but

...Evelynn will also be getting some charming new visuals and lore to go with the new gameplay tools we are giving her...

which appears to be her new "tentacles" forming the shape of a heart, teasing the addition of a "charm" to her kit. If this is true then riot is turning her more into another fem fatale and League does NOT need ANOTHER femme fatale (to a lesser extent) is too many as it is. I have made a post about her current outfit, and why it was problematic. If my hunch is true then i was spot on. (TL;DR was: her outfit is the only part of her character that has anything to do with sex appeal. Her kit, VO, and character are about a killer that enjoys killing/hurting people(not in a sexual way). Her outfit undermines her character, which is undeniable after asking any non Eve main what/who she is.)

I ask that you pls reconsider taking Eve in this direction(if you are). I'm very glad that riot has seemingly decided to preserve her gamplay, but as an Eve OTP, I became and Eve OTP not only for her kit, but her character as well. Pls do not do to her what you did to etc.

PS. is Voice actress doing her VO?

PPS. I do think league needs more charms, just not on Eve.

Eve isn't a femme fatale, which is why I hope they don't give her a charm. She doesn't use seduction like ahri would, to make you lower your guard before going in for the kill. In a fight she doesn't toy around, she goes for the throat. She's a beast. That being said, she isn't - not - a sexual character. From her sultry voice to her quotes such as "Mm, I like it when they scream" and, "Your pain is my pleasure" it can definitely be implied that she isn't just all about efficiency and the work like Camille. She probably likes making her victims squeal.

She's meant to be a sort of succubus archetype. If her new character plays more with that theme, then maybe she would get a charm, and it'd make sense. But then she'd only end up like Ahri, but more brutal when the killing time comes. I don't think Riot would basically copy an existing trope though. She's presumably a sexual being, not a flirtsy one or a femme fatale. Her outfit and VO make some sense if this is true, but due to her character's nature in combat a burst window that makes the experience of getting killed by her more torturous would make more sense than a charm. She's the one getting the pleasure out of the kill, she ain't gonna tease the possibility of pleasure for you.

I'm just really anticipating what her character evolves into. She's my favourite assassin. I hope they preserve the feeling of stalking someone, then bursting quickly from the shadows to close the gap and shred them to bits before booking it and slipping away into the night again. That's Evelynn's playstyle for me. That's what I love about her. She feels like she's having a good time doing it, which makes her more fun for me. I wouldn't object to them adding a burst window sort of mechanic to her though. If they preserve her character, some opportunities to watch your victim squirm would be very fitting.

I'm confused. You don't want her to be a femme fatale,but you also don't want her character to change even though she is currently a femme fatale already(at least more so than most of the champs that you listed)

Really doubt they have Cristina Vee doing Eve.

I hope she's naked while in stealth.

I just want to add that Zyra is a plant and the female body we see is nothing but a host.

Longing to take control of her fate, the ancient, dying plant Zyra transferred her consciousness into a human body for a second chance at life.

Zyra, cass, leblanc and nid wouldn't be 'femme fatales' since they don't use their charm to kill.
