Before Eves release on PBE lets try to guess Evelynns kit based on the teaser.

Ok so from the teaser: https://www.facebook.com/lolph/videos/1654700641216223/

Lets try to guess her abilities. I noticed 1 thing that looked interesting.

P: We know that they want to keep her permastealth mechanic but make it more balanced. How they do this i have no idea. They stated she wont just be stealthed near walls as the one teaser suggested. So any guess is okay, but she WILL most likely be permastealthed. I doubt its on an ability.

Q: So we hear that her Q will still be very similar. How similar we dont know. But im guessing some sort of fast stab with her new tendrils. Still spammable. This is probably the most known and easiest guess one so far.

W: So if you look closely her fingers are animated, and by that i mean it looks like she is sucking the life force or something out of that wrinkled corpse? She also is being treated more like a Succubus and less like a shadow assassin. So what im guessing is they replaced her Movespeed of W, with some sort of Lifesteal ability.

However I dont think that a steroid would be good on an assassin, so what im guessing is they combined her into into this. Something like she hits twice, gaining HP per hit, and maybe still increasing attackspeed? movespeed? A slow? Who knows really. Or even if itll apply anything.

E: I am gonna guess either hard CC or a mobility spell. Mobility because assassins like that however being a perma-stealth champion may not even be needed. OR a hard CC and this has no real evidence however a lot of people said it would make sense for her to have a Charm so thats what im basing on that.

R: Now the ending of the video PROBABLY was just a minor jumpscare-esque thing to make her seem spooky. But it could also potentially be a hint to her ult. Remember Eves an Assassin, and her current ult is already an instant damaging ability. So what im guessing is its some sort of execute ability, or a large open of fight ability. Maybe a dash/blink? For instance she targets someone and leaps onto them dealing %Max or Current health damage depending on if its an engage ability or an execute.

Those were my ideas anyone have any others.

My guess from what i've seen from riot reworks and champion abilities is the following, ofc all theory.

Pasive: The passive will be more less intact, with some changes of course, they wanted to remain the perma stealth but make it healthier as you said, one thing people is saying about this is that they may make evelynn stealth range wider on early game so people can see her from more far away and as you level up it gets smaller. Another thing i heard is that she may be kinda invisible but not invisible at all while enemies don't look into evelynn's direction and if you look into her then you see her (from close distant of course).

Edit: This second version is probably closer to what they aim for, its kinda leaked, at least as a "new stealth visual mechanic": https://dm6jf9380nk1h.cloudfront.net/article/8d77446e-2275-453e-a04a-6f8dc6609124.png

Q: Its her main damage and its also in the blog they posted some months ago, my guess is that they will move the DPS part of Eve into a more bursy version which means she will spam less but deal more damage. If they want to also modernize the kit we may see some different effects from the Q, maybe it is bigger and longer but has some effect you can rely on to do some plays, not hard CC though.

W: This is her current mobility spell, which in most champs is the E and not the W, so lets talk about what the W would be then and where this goes. Usually W abilities are complementary skills (to add some damage), or utility spells, utility spells may be cc, heals, shields etc...

So technically Eve's damage is her Q but she needs a new tool to make plays and probably fit her theme, as she is an assasin i'm sure they wont add hard cc on her, not a big one at least, specially because you can't see her from far away so you should be able to counterplay her or do something when you see her.

She is kinda like a succubus, and she has spikes on her back, if you look close in the teaser you can see they are big and kinda like wings but they end sharp like spikes, so i'm guessing those are to finish off enemies, so they can't be used as an utility spell (its just a theory), but she could some how steal enemies soul, which makes me thing that we may find a new mechanic based on that or maybe its a pasive that steals health from enemies you attack or assasinate? Thats my guess.

E: It was her bursty skill, but now that the burst is technically on her Q and assasins nowdays tend to have big reward ultimates i'm guessing that this is gonna be a mobility spell. Using the spikes on her back to jump walls or jump into enemies and deal damage. She is also talking about the darkness so i'm guessing she would get empowered skills if she is on stealth or next to shadows?

However I think this may be a bit different and they could surprise us with something new.

R: Old Shield and slow, weak ultimate that doesnt fit an assasin, take fizz, talon, zed, nocturne, katarina, diana as an example. What they have in common? All In ultimates, do tons of damage.

This makes new Eve's ultimate really hard to predict, there are tons of possibilities, but as i talked about earlier, may be to finish off targets. Maybe charm them and assasinate them.

Her back spikes have something to do with it for sure.

Thats my guess, :P, a lot of theory but nothing sure, we can't do more than wait until she hits the pbe.

But its fun to guess this stuff, lets see how far from the kit we end up :p

We had kinda similar theories, however, usually with VGUs they wont change the order of reworked spells. If an old champion has a mobility spell on W, they usually will keep it on W even if thats not the norm. Just to keep the old and new champ similar.

But evelynn's W is more an utility spell than a mobility spell imo, they also changed it on some champs like Warwick (E movement speed into the W).

I'm still guessing they will surprise us with new stuff that we may not even think of, Warwick's modernization was really good and Galio felt really good too.

I wonder how she will be built too, I'm sure some people will find broken builds that were not supposed to exist <_<

Please Riot, don't ruin Eve. Don't ruin her stealth. Don't ruin her play style. Just don't touch it. Thanks.

Like Evelynn, it needs to be touched... https://ih0.redbubble.net/image.248527166.3617/flat,800x800,075,f.u1.jpg

For real though her kit did have a lot of flaws. And this is coming from someone who LIKES Evelynn. The only thing that they ARE and NEEDED to keep was the permanent stealth.

She could assassinate. But she was being built bruiser. Not at all what a FULL STEALTH champion should be doing.
