Why does Evelynn's E only have a 225 range?

That's not even half her detection bar, just barely over melee range for most champs, and even trying to close the gap with proto-belt doesn't get you into range from stealth.

Which, okay, getting jumped out of nowhere probably isn't fair, except that her W tells you the direction Eve's coming from anyway and is entirely critical to Eve getting out a full burst of damage. So you're not even really getting jumped from out of nowhere anyway to begin with so there's damn near no reason to have this short of an E range.

Especially when her only escape would be to use her ult early, taking out almost all of her damage from her kit after it's been used and placing it on an asininely long cooldown while also being crystal clear where she's going to be ending up because it's directly backward from where she ulted.

Especially when her only mobility from anywhere other than her ultimate is also on her fucking E since she can no longer speed boost into range - she gets the speed boost instead when she puts herself in range, which is entirely ass backwards for her combo and makes practically no sense whatsoever.

The hell is this range so short for?

Edit: So to clear up: A lot of people say it's to release the champion underpowered and buff it afterward so it doesn't completely stomp games.

Which is fine. It's not bad to undersell her numbers. But there's also absolutely no practicality to her right now. Her abilities aren't practical in that using them in the manner they're meant to be used usually puts you in more danger than a decent champion would have or relies upon enemies to mess up immensely with their positioning to where Eve has the time to sneak up on someone while they can't notice her. But the amount of times this could reasonably happen versus how most games play out is extremely small.

As she is now, Kha'Zix does better than her in terms of being a stealthy assassin and just as an assassin in general. Evelynn like this literally doesn't have the practicality to give reason to pick her over someone else unless you're just really hurting for AP and don't have any other options. There's really no reason to both undersell her damage and the ease of use in her kit when it's not like Janna levels of reliable to begin with. 225 range is asininely low and makes quite literally no sense in terms of an offensive gap closer. At that point the range might as well just be melee range and flip her to the other side of the enemy like Warwick's, but still leaves the pressing question of how she'd get there in the first place.
