Evelynn: Really Needs to be looked at again. No one is picking her anymore, and for good reason.

Despite playing for quite some time this is my first post i have ever written, First i want to start off by saying i am NOT by any means a pro gamer or someone who is really good. I love to play LOL because it is fun and diverse, and while i know there a lot of thought that goes into balance and changes I simply do not in anyway shape or form understand the ridiculous mentality of some of the nerfs and buffs given to some champs. For instance, Lee sin: can tank very well, do good dmg, has many ways to chase or to flee has nothing done to him.......and mind you is picked very often. Not only in normal games, but ranked, and pro games as well. Annnnnd then we have Evelynn: very good dmg, has to build items in order to tank (thus reducing her dmg output), and has only 1 option to flee or chase, with a longer cooldown. When we look at people picking her....crickets in the background. Damn near no one. Not in normals, havent seen in ranked once, and almost never in pro games either (the 2 times i did see her get picked, their team lost lol). No one picks her because there are SO MANY better choices for junglers. I simply don't understand the logic behind changing Eve's gameplay like you guys did when she was never Over Powered like the other junglers. I used to love playing as Eve before because I really felt like an assassin when i played her, now it just feels off and on top of that gimped. I know a lot of people will criticize me (my highest rating yet is silver 3, im not afraid of admitting it) or say she is OP, but quite frankly she is not, and if she was then we would see MUCH more people try to play her. Eve used to be fun, but now she is just a chore. A needless chore amongst so many better picks. Please Riot, Evelynn was a great character who was really fun, bring her back to the few people that actually enjoyed playing her.

Today? Ok, but think about your total play time. How often do you see her played in all game types (normal, ranked, pro)? I'm willing to bet it is close to 5%.

She's the eighth most picked of the meta junglers, out of 44.

You should probably do the research on this shit before making a post on it.

If you look at the stats she's actually picked more than 30 other champs in the league... so I'd think they have bigger fish to fry. Elise who was Pick or Ban in S3 is now the least picked champ in the game... fixing her would be my big priority if I were Riot.

Eve is in a better place than she's been in for a long while. If she got buffed, she'd get nerfed shortly after.

Eve is a strong champion - take advantage of the fact no one plays her to make her YOUR champion and carry with her.

I absolutely guarantee you that she is more than capable of carrying almost every game if you get good enough with Eve.

shes good, its just that she has no passive once everyone reaches the "i buy pink wards because the enemy team has stealth" rank. and ofc, the "i upgrade my red trinket" rank as well.

shes never fallen out (except for that one time a long time ago, for a very long time), she just lacks a gap closer which makes her less desirable than other champs.

I completely agree there are other champs as well that never get picked or haven't seen love. However, if we were to look at counter possibilities and being useful all around Eve is still way in the back. Champs like Lee or Sejuani can dish out some good dmg all the while Being Very tanky. Eve does not have that luxury, and as one of the posts said, buy pink wards and bam, there goes the element of surprise. Which Eve lives of off. So many more options to counter her and shut her out than you have with other junglers. She just isn't as fun as she used to be, and i have heard the same thing from many other players as well.

Do not hear them. In my opinion, Evelynn is not in a good place, because her spells are ap and she is played tanky. I am sorry, but that is not okay. This is a champion based on magic damage, not on building health and armor. I cannot understand how Evelynn could be nerfed so much just because of her passive. EVERY SINGLE SPELL HAS BEN TONED DOWN! Dfg is gone, no change to her E or, even, the ultimate, no communication with Evelynn's mains for making some changes on her right. Ignorance for so many years, sorry riot, but that is considered as no respect to the champion and to those who are fond of playing her. DISAPPOINTED. Keep showing your love to certain champions, Riot, just keep and we will see how this will end!
