Is it too early to ask for old Evelynn back?

Could you fix something that actually needs it?

It's never too soon to ask for the impossible.

Dude Evelynn is so weak right now, this rework was neccesary and I don't know about you but god that animation is sick and now she has more mechanics too :) can't wait to try her out

It would warm my heart to be able to play Pre-Pre-Rework Eve for even a day again. Even the version without the stun after Riot broke her legs.

The first rework felt like a new champion wearing Eve's head as a hat.

This new one has about as much in common with Eve's play-style as the new Sion had with the old. Riot NEVER should have gone down the road of changing champ archetypes with updates. That was a terrible idea and still is.

Eve is in desperate need of a change dude.

I just don't agree. Desperate need implies she's warping the meta. She's neither a must pick, or a must ban.

What do you like about current Eve?

Dope SoloSep 27, 20172 votes

I really enjoyed the mobility on W, the hit and run aspect of disappearing was very predator-like. You didn't have to go 'all in', but you could still take a swipe when help was needed because you had W available. The E was basic, so a visual change doesn't hurt. The Q seems close. But the passive is trashed/ruined, in large part because the mana regen is way more valuable between pots and scuttler To be honest in terms of stealth, I was expecting much worse. Old R was tons better. The pop-up effect was good for an engage or a retreat that provided value to the entire team. It wasn't flashy like the new thing (should be on W), but substance-wise I think the old R just does more, and the shield effect helped her get away. It seems like they've exchanged utility for flashy crap, and I'm not convinced there's burst damage enough to make up for it but my thoughts are that it is undertuned at launch. I know that mobility creep is a serious thing, but using this blink doesn't excite me much, yes I know she can use it to blink in pointing it backwards...it just doesn't seem that ultimate. I think the color scheme is wrong, way too pink.

Eve was easily flattened in the early game, and her clear was slow, way too slow really, I thought her stealth was over-compensated for. Her play rate proved it.

I guess we just disagree her W was bland but she has mobility in the new kit with her new E anyways and new R is 100x better just for the fact you can kill people with it. It felt really bad to ult really low and not be able to kill. Also, her old ult made her a team fight initiator/diver? Man, I want to assassinate people!

No...it really doesn't. Warwick was in desperate need of a revamp. Sion was in desperate need of a revamp. Evelynn fell in that category because she was outdated, lacked a lot of ways to be nerfed/buffed, and did not fit any particular category. The only thing i dislike of this update is her passive, and the lack of AD ratios.

You mean the part where you have to wait till 6 to get stealth?

No, that makes sense balance wise because before level 6, you have a genuine gapcloser that will chase flash when used. Being able to pop that out of stealth early game might be too powerful. For me...its the mana regen loss, since HP regen isn't a real issue when you kite.

I want to see her mana costs before I cry foul.

I never built AD, but it would be nice to have the option.
