Atrocious Evelynn nerf (WTF?)

Dominick Destine··4 votes·1,531 views

Shadow Walk (Passive) now regenerates 2% of her missing mana every second up from 1%

Uhhh, current Shadow Walk (Passive) regenerates 1% of her MAXIMUM mana per second, is this a mistake or are they truly raping her passive that hard? Evelynn is in an awful spot right now and the last thing she needs is for her few advantages to be ripped apart.

RIOT; are you listening? do not Eve tier Evelynn more than she is already Eve'd.

Its a buff if your below half mana and a nerf if your above half mana.

What's your point? Evelynn is in a horrible spot as it is, would it really be so terrible to give her a straight buff instead of a nerf/buff? from what I read they are buffing her E to apply on hit effects but that is besides the point, her passive should not be nerfed.

My point is to explain it to you, duh.

And I explained why you have no point.

It's simple, if they really wanted to help Evelynn they could have just changed the passive from 1% max mana to 2% max mana per second.

its still a larger regen value if your below half, so my point is still there.

it's pretty much a straight buff since you don't really need more mana when you're above half and really want more mana when you're below half.

It is a straight nerf. Now her base mana regen works against her passive's regen.

She uses a lot of mana, you never want to reach half much less be below.

It mattered ever since they jacked up her Q mana cost. If you truly played Evelynn, you'd know she is a severe mana hog... and the reduction in blue buff duration only exacerbated this issue. Her passive was the only mitigating factor in this issue. This is not complicated.

i played her heavily season 3 and after season 3 hell i took a year off and have only been back in league for about a month. When i last played i was jungling her and always had a blue buff so i never payed attention to it. Its been a while ....maybe i did and just forgot but of all the mana hungry champs i just don't remember it being as big of a deal on her...i was usually fed after first or 2nd clear too though so :/

You're Bronze V. This is why you never had any trouble before because you are not facing any sort of meaningful opposition.

Evelynns who spam abilities and dont auto as much, or ones that just build more ap, will use more mana, and these changes will help them. No matter how you look at it, this is a buff imo, especially with the new jungle. Now instead of regenerating a bunch of your mana or time for nothing, you actually have to use mana to get the regen.

think of Veigar's passive x2 when she's invisible tho so its a buff in any regard

also she can apply on hit effects with her E now on the PBE too which i think is a nice touch so AD Eve will be pretty good again and AP with Lich Bane might be good as well. i know its off topic in a sense since its not about her E buff but still something to think about i'd say since she'll be using her E more for the on hits it'll be great for when she goes stealthed so she can go to another lane and regen her mana on the way faster than she can now
