Evelynn's rework, what do you guys think?
According to the latest leak:
- Limited invisibility, only when near a wall
- Copypasta of either talon's passive or bard's E, as she can sneak through walls
- Kit designed to be an early game counterjungler instead of an early game ganker
- Visually inspired by the anime Elfen Lied (naked chick with 2 extra ghost arms)
My first question is, do we need another Shaco... an early game counter jungling assassin with invisibility? Isn't one Shaco enough?
My second question is why does riot want her to counter jungle instead of gank? I know people complain about assassins who can gank, but that's kind of their job. Furthermore if she's going to counterjungle, can she 1v1 Shyvana, Nidalee, Elise, or Lee Sin? Furthermore what about her jungle clear speed and damage taken? If you are going to counter jungle you need to be able to clear quickly without taking much damage.
Third question is how healthy for the game is it if you want her to AFK farm until six and what does she do post six when she's crap? I'm assuming her gameplay will be to sneak in, steal camps, and sneak out rather than 1v1 someone in the jungle. Because invisibility and wall ignoring.
Fourth question is why the wall mechanics/obsession with evelynn? I think that this is a top-down mini-game, but I'd like to be sure.
Fifth question: DPS or burst, AP only or still hybrid? Can I still get TF/Lichbane and spam Q?
Sixth question is why did you guys think Elfin Lied was the best inspiration for her visuals and is this a hint to her story?
Seventh question, and most importantly: did you guys screw up how players approach playing Evelynn? Evelynn is a bit weird in that as an assassin, she has to be a lot more thoughtful and considerate of what she is doing. That was what made her interesting and fun to her players. Did she lose that unique approach? I mean you guys at riot are always complaining about champions being the same and this was one area where Evelynn was unique. _Did you guys done bleeped it up? _
and
come in on Evelynn. With her Q, they give her a mix of DPS and burst, but not the instant burst that people and riot hate.
