Am I the only one who thinks Evelynn is in a good spot right now?

Yea, she doesn't have burst like other stealth/assassin champs, but then again she doesn't really need it. She has access to PERMA STEALTH at level 1 which is insanely useful. It makes it almost impossible to counter jungle her (unless you have enough gold for like 100 pink wards), and it makes ganking extremely easy. Even if she doesn't get a kill (or help secure a kill), that small amount of damage is enough to give your lane an advantage (and possibly help your laner get a kill after you leave). After she pokes you a bit, she can just press 'w' and run away (assuming she didn't use it to engage). Anyways, please leave her alone. She's in a really good spot right now and I don't want her to be ruined like other recent reworked champs (looking at you Poppy).

Ima be honest, evelynn having perma-stealth instantly makes it so she cant excel at something else.

Like you cant have perma stealth and amazing mobility/damage/tankiness/utility.

Its literally one or the other with stuff like this.

So i think riot did a good job, evelynns extremely squishy / moderate damage? / mobility is some MS + breakfree

So yeah i agree.

IMO tho i hate evelynn... Good evelynns gank from the lane because rivers pinked and i think its a nuisance to even fight invisible champs in the first place

she should not have perma invisibility, to me it feels somewhat unhealthy

Her passive still hasn't been reworked so I disagree

Feast/famine

She either gets fed off her ass with her almost cancerous early game or she falls off after 10 minutes. If she gets fed off her ass she falls off after 20 minutes. She literally drops like a brick later game, harder than shaco and lee.

Against competent teams who know what a pink ward is, she falls off at champ select.

She's really not though...why do you think she's a high priority for a full VGU?

The "perma-stealth" is a little odd but having played since long before her rework I find it kinda over-hyped. She used to be able to literally walk up to you in stealth and pop out by stabbing you in the back...or just hang out invisibly and damage you with Sunfire Capes (that used to stack...). Now she becomes visible if she gets close to an enemy champ (and her ult range got nerfed pretty hard) so you'll always see her before she can get in range to actually do anything to you. She's essentially invisible only when nobody is looking - yeah, it sucks that she can come up river and not be seen by your ward, but if Eve is in your game you should act like it and not over-extend.

I think stealth is a thing that can and should exist in League but needs to be done better. I'm actually looking forward to the mini-rework to stealth that apparently is coming with the Assassin class update. It sounds like Riot wants more than just the binary "complete and total invisibility" and "instantly useless and dead because of a pink ward".

Personally, I'd rather Eve not have stealth as a passive. I liked it better when her stealth was an active, limited-time ability and had to be ranked up for max effectiveness. If Riot makes some way of hinting when stealth champs are near, or this "degrees of vision" thing, then giving Eve a semi-long duration stealth that cost mana and had a cooldown should work just fine.
