How to Bring Eve Back into Viability

SpongebobIsLife··1 votes·441 views

So here's my idea. The problem with eve, is her passive. It effectively allows for perma-stealth unless she is attacking or being attacked, and because of this, Eve cannot have damage, which is the current issue. In Dota 2 there is an item that solves the perma stealth issue, but it allows for counter-play for the stealthee. So here's how the item in Dota 2 works: the user buys the item in the shop, and it gives them true vision, but when they die, they drop it, meaning anyone, ally or foe can pick it up. So here's my suggestion. There should be a similar item with league, except only one person on the team can buy it, once someone buys it, it leaves the store. Second, if the person holding the item is killed, someone else can buy it except it will be at a higher price, alternatively the person who bought it first is the only person who can buy it during the game. The starting price should be 1500g? and increase by 250 or 500 per death? Ideas anyone?? Would love to hear some feedback. Although I don't play eve, id like each champ in league to be at least viable.

i played eve 2 weeks ago and here are my thoughts early game - very little factor in the game as an individual but extremely good for getting allies fed mid game - her presence as an individual starts to matter alot late game - it's a very bad idea not to have pink wards down and if you are a squishy then you just run when you see her

mmm I find that hard to believe. If that was true, her popularity would be much higher.

Her late game is very good, or at least it was before the latest patch where they significantly buffed the jungle picks that are her hardest counters in the late game.

We had oracles, it was un fun when all the tanks would build it.

I agree, but this item brings a new dynamic to matches I feel.

The main issue Riot has with her stealth is that the only way currently to deal with her as a laner in the very early game where buying pinks is impractical is to play passive until she appears elsewhere on the map. They are experimenting with a new ward type to fix this.

Itemising to remove the strengths of opposing champions is unfun and boring. If I wanted dry but more strategic gameplay, I would play DotA. But I find it boring as hell.

This is not itemising against individual champion's strengths, but against something that all bar-a-few champions in the game use. Debuffs and CC. Also, Blade of the Ruined King isn't itemising. It's like saying that Bloodthrister is considered itemising against poke comps. It's not. It's an item that you are going to build regardless of the opposing team composition. And it isn't against the primary conceptional strengths of the champion either.

Leona's strength is that she is a massive cc bot, so what do I do to counter her, I bring qss. Majority of the champions in the game can have their strengths countered by items, this is no different.

Many champions in the game have CC. not just a few. Stealth is not common, so there isn't any need for an item to specifically itemise against it. You could buy a pink ward, or upgrade your Red trinket, but these aren't counters. Hell, even with true vision, it wouldn't deal with Eve's primary strength of avoiding being seen by green wards. I don't see what your suggestion is supposed to solve.

That's not what her passive does at all. She is still visible (at a reduced radius) to champions.

Your proposed item wouldn't actually change anything.

I know she is visible at a certain range, and that's why im asking for ideas, bc as long as she has a pseudo-perma stealth passive, she will never be put into a good position?
