Evelynn needs another rework
Does no damage and can't even survive jungle
Does no damage and can't even survive jungle
Maybe if they attach a mana cost to her stealth and gave her a new passive she can get some of her damage back? I can't say I've ever been excited to have an Eve on my team even when she was considered decent earlier this season. Then they hit her with more nerfs and yeah...
I just want her burst back :''(
she needs more nerfs
Kind of hard to take you seriously when your premise is wrong.... you say she does no damage and can't survive the jungle. But I jungle her all the time and she clears it fine (rought the first time through but plenty of champions have that). As for how little damage she does its actually really balanced. She can't go toe to toe with most other junglers early and she does lose out in counter ganks but she can gank much easier than any other jungler due to stealth ward immunity. Yes the other laner has to push for you to be able to gank well but it just makes her a situational pick not a bad pick.
Have another discussion thread about Eve going on over here. My personal take on her as a champ and some ideas for her future too. Come leave some comments and join the discussion:
Personally, I think Evelynn is in an overall decent place. Of course Riot seems to be getting tired of early game focused junglers recently, so considering that is primarily where her strength lies, she might come up against some hard times in the near future, especially with what we've seen of the preseason 5 jungle.
The obvious problem of giving her too much up from damage is that stealth is such a powerful mechanic that you really shouldn't be able to do excessive damage on top of that. And it's always difficult to make that balance when stealth is not a black and white numbers thing.
However that isn't to say that she doesn't do any damage. Her jungle clear time is fine with a reasonable leash, and all you need are one or two successful early ganks to get the ball rolling. Ya you will definitely fall behind if you don't get those, but she's certainly not in as bad a place as you seem to think.
