I Don't Even Play Eve Anymore

Why?

Runeglaive got nerfed a few patches ago because Riot didn't want laners abusing it and told us, 'Don't worry, junglers, you'll see its benefits by clearing camps.' But anyone who jungles knows that you aren't going to be doing much jungle clearing mid to late game because that's when you're in the shit with your team trying to win decisive fights for objectives. So the nerf not only affected laners, but junglers as well. The only champions who can benefit from it anymore are those who can make the most out of its attack speed buff without caring at all about the mana regen.

Eve's hate spike damage was nerfed as well, reducing its base damage from 40/55/70/85/100 to 40/50/60/70/80 because Riot disliked her killing potential as an assassin, but this also wrecked her clear times in the jungle because she spends more time taking out camps and more time trying to recover lost health from monster aggro. What was the pay off? A slight increase to the slow on her ultimate. Something that has a massive CD and does nothing for her clears.

It is important to note that Eve's Hate Spike damage was changed in 5.7 from 30/45//60/75/90 to 40/55/70/85/100, but if Riot really wanted to make her Hate Spike instrumental in issuing damage then why wasn't the 90 damage at max rank kept? Why was it necessary to nerf her max level base damage below 90?

Now her Shadow Dash has been given a cost. Why? Just because she has a mana bar she automatically has to have a cost to it? Riot's excuse is that Runeglaive gives her too much mana regen...Question, who plays nerfed Runeglaive on nerfed Eve? And if Runeglaive gives too much mana regen then why don't we start increasing costs to champions who regularly abuse it? I suppose it's because Eve's passive regenerates missing mana, but only when it's active.

Allow me a moment to be sarcastic.

I really appreciate it when my team tell me, as their jungle, "Don't worry, you can relax. We don't need you to hurry over and gank after you've cleared 6 different camps."

Really. When are Eve players ever allowed to enjoy the mana regen from her passive? The only real benefit enjoyed from it is the stealth that allows her to surprise enemies. Whenever I played Eve jungle, I had to race my own mid lane to snag blue buff because players automatically assume, "You're Eve, you don't need it. Your passive is good enough." So, don't tell experienced Eve players that the reason you nerfed her again is because her mana regen has become a problem!
