Evelynn is... different.
No camouflage until level 6... or about 10 minutes into the game. At least she gets HP regen instead of mana regen.
Hate spikes is a lot different. They added a barrage mechanic/charge system for some reason. Dunno why they changed it. I mean of all her old skills, hate spikes seemed to be the one that least needed mucking with. So riot decided to link it up to evelynn's new tentacle sex theme. The bad thing about this skill is it's going to be crap against chickens on your first clear as you need to hit the big one with your first hit. Getting the positioning right on that is going to be awkward to learn. It's like whoever designed her had no idea how the jungle works. I mean who had the idea of giving a jungler an AoE skill that doesn't work naturally against the camp that needs AoE the most? Now you have to do some weird maneuvering to get to the fat chicken first.
Her charm is interesting, but it works on a delay. Attacking someone before the charm kicks in refunds mana and slows them. Not sure about this mechanic as a whole. It seems like riot could have gone with a simple and elegant skill but decided to make it more complex than it needed to be. The name is nice, I'll give it that.
Her E applies on-hit effects (that no one will be building on AP evelynn, good call rito) but even worse, it does % max health damage. Even better is if you are in yandere demon mode, you get a dash as well. So we've got a dash that applies on-hit effects and does percentage health damage. Was CertainlyT giving advice for this rework?
I see you hiding there. Don't deny it.
There's one thing I don't get about this change and that's the on-hit effects. To my knowledge, rito was intent on killing her AD scalings and her on-hit builds. So why add this here? It's like this skill was added before riot settled on her final direction. Nashor's isn't a normal buy option on Evelynn and I can't imagine her buying it now. I don't see the new evelynn buying bloodrazor/bork just for this effect. This is just odd.
Evelynn's ult is too much like Xayah's imo. She gets untargetable status and AoE damage. Then she gets an escape. It feels like reav3 or meddler were pushing this kind of ultimate hard this year (and charm effects). Why else would 2 champs get very similar ults in the same year? Still, I think this is kind of a good change because it discourages tank eveylnn from coming back.
I give this rework Yandere Tentacle Hentai out of 10.
