Riot, are you considering updating Eve with the assassin update ?

She is, after all, a assassin, and is super unhealthy. Her passive gimps her (Because perma stealth is beyond OP) so you have to remove some power from her kit. Her W costing mana is a pain in the @$$ since we need to have hit and run raids, but now it costs mana, so those resets are going to cost you. Her ultimate does less damage the less life your opponent has, that is stupid for a assassin, and to top it all off, has no base damage, so you can't even ulti to kill a 3 health Twitch. And the worst part, after you nerf something of hers and make that be pretty much nonviable, when we find a new build for her, you nerf that too. Ad , ap, armor pen, magic pen, on hit, full crit, tank, ad off tank, ap off tank, attack speed , triforce into full tank, this could go on forever. You know that something is wrong when a champion known for their early game has their highest win rate at 35‐40 minutes

My personal experience with her in high level play (plat 1 to D 1) probably isn't the most common given some of my discussions with some other Eve players lately, but I've had very few issues with her current state and am still strongest with her early in the game and since the preason patches own a 90% win rate out of the jungle. The total number of games isn't very high, mind you, only about 20ish, but I'm actually of the opinion shes in a really strong spot at the moment.

I would agree with you about the passive. Shes already been reworked twice, shes tough to balance. Thematically the stealth aspect of her identity has always caused problems of one sort or another, be it the old activated style with a stun upon exiting or the current passive style without a fixed duration. As long as she has the most op passive in the game she's gonna be tough to manage properly.

I think that I didn't make it too clear, the point of this post is not Eve's current win rate or if she is good or not currently. I too has played Eve to some success recently. The point of me making this post, is that I am tiered of Eve getting random nerfs, like the recent W mana cost increase. And her passive , while it is super strong, since we have a lot less warding going on, early game this is even more noticeable , it had to keep track of the enemy jungler, be them Eve or not. I think that Eve should not be reworked because she is in a bad spot, she should be reworked because she is terrible to balance

I feel as if I'd be inclined to agree with this sentiment, she is indeed a terror in terms of balance. Either oppressively strong, or kind of wimpy and not much in between.
