You are going to destroy Evelynn?! for what purpose? she is fine the way she is.
She is not overpowered or underpowered, no one is clammoring for a butchering for Eve-chan the way Urgot had been demanded. Could Riot at least explain why Evelynn is being removed from the game?
Evelynn is being changed because her stealth is binary and basic- you don't play around it, you don't interact with it, it's just... there. How many people even know it gives mana regen while she's stealthed? Plus her thematic is that of an assassin, which is high mobility and damage focused on taking out a single squishy target. But with no mobility besides a movement speed steroid, her low damage but high spam Q, and an ult that's an AoE damage and slow that encourages being used on high-health targets while they have lots of health, most of Evelynn's current kit screams "sustained damage diver". When people build her glass cannon, her ult is basically useless for anything more than a slow because she's too squishy for the shield to actually matter, and she wants to avoid the frontline whenever possible.
And all of this is before one even gets into her outdated visuals and model, short and shallow voice over, and utter lack of a concrete backstory and character. Evelynn is in fact much like Urgot was; she is indeed functional, but only just barely, and she lacks a concrete identity and thematic. She has for about as long if not longer than Urgot, and that's what the VGU is about: giving Evelynn a cohesive thematic that's reflected in her gameplay and ensures she brings something unique to the game.
For a similar offender, look at Pantheon. He's a man possessed by what is essentially a god who is looking to protect the last remains of the Targonian empire (and Valoran by extension) from an incoming threat. Yet his graphics and VO are generic homages to Sparta and Spartans, and his kit itself is shallow, uninteresting, and leaves little room for actual outplay potential on the part of Pantheon or his opponent beyond "proper use/reaction to the stun" and "proper use of/reaction to the ultimate". Evelynn is much the same in that she basically just runs you down. You either have the stats or the kit to beat her, or you die while trying to run away in vain.

Eve-chan
Please stop
Stop shitposting pls
Classic Evelynn players thinking perma-stealth has any place in league's current vision system
I'd gladly take that VGU spot for my Morde. You guys should be bloody grateful for getting your champion modernized.
This is old news man. She was put on the schedule for a rework a LONG time ago. Why freak out now?
Because the current Evelynn is too Draconian for this game.
I think they just felt they could do the character type better, and her infinite cloaking was a little hard to work around. I think this seemed like a good way to get her model up to date while also giving her a rework.
If she isn't underpowered then how come no one besides Moon actually plays her well? oh right it's because she is absolute trash in the current meta and if she gets zero kills early on then she isn't going to do a god dam thing for her team.
Eve should be changed cause she is suppose to be an assassin right now she is built like a bruiser or she insta pop when she goes in. Plus I heard the new Eve is suppose to be nearly naked :D
I agree with you. But the client base are never satisfied with old - they always want new and improved. Heck, for example, I liked the old Galio and Yorick - heck, I loved the old Yorick and Galio. But it didn't stop the lobby groups asking for reworks and "improvements". When you can stomp on people using old Galio (which reminded me of the old TV show Gargoyles), and it broke my heart to see him turned into this "stone adonis". And don't get me started on how I was disappointed by the voiceovers.
the reason explained by riot is that "she does not express the theme of a widowmaker well"
Let's hope they bring back the old Evelyn so I can do 1600 Crits again.
She has an outdated kit and is mained by few. A perfect occasion to give her a new model and a kit so non-main go like "WTF RIOT SO GOOD BEST REWORK POGCHAMP" and gets Riot to look good for a month before people realize that the live balance team keeps being clueless on how to nerf Caitlyn for 2 season and buffing retarded champion like Tristana who do nothing but push 24/7 every Tier 1 and Tier 2 turret.
There's a serious lack of Diamond Pride in this thread.
