New Evelynn is no fun to play as or against

Having 150k mastery in the old Evelynn I miss the clean playstyle and versatility she used to have, She was very squishy and could be punished but her kiting and assassination power made her the champion she was, her new playstyle is very clunky and situational and she's now more of a cheese champion than anything with her targeted CC and ult execute but she's not fun for Evelynn mains or the people who get marked by W and forced to retreat.

-her new W makes her lose all her kiting ability, and also reveals her position which counters her own passive -W has CC that doesn't make sense for her playstyle (but every new champion needs CC apparently) and you have to wait to use it -Her new Q animation nearly self roots her and having only three spike chains makes her kiting and versatility completely erased -Her new E at least resembles the old one but the Jump mechanic is kind of clunky -Her new Ult Isn't a bad change and her invisibility kicking in at 6 also feels like a fair change for her early game.

If she had her old Q and W back and maybe even her ad ratios she would be alot more interactive for skirmishes because of the versatility and kiting/chasing in and out of stealth that was the core of her old playstyle, the rest of her new abilities feel like good changes that freshen up the champion but her playstyle feels like you counter yourself with your new Q and W and changing those abilities back would make it more fun for Evelynn mains and the people who play against her who either have to retreat back to tower or get charmed.

I thought the same on rework. But ...... I don't think she's bad and a lot of your complaints are negated by experience with her new kit. Good Eve's don't use W except as an escape prevention. They don't care about the charm.

Q does NOT self root..... You can do it while walking.

old eve was fucking infuriating to play against. She would roll up clap you with a bunch of Qs, and then E you for 3/4 of your HP.

New eve feels so much better to play against. To actually instakill me she needs to use her ultimate.

While I did enjoy playing old Eve more, she definitely was one of the worst champions to face for many people.

I do loath the fact that her Q stops her walking animation to cast it. It feels clunky to use in a lot of cases.
