Eve will probably be more viable after rune reworks.
I guess one of the reasons riot has not yet made a large response towards eve underplaying expectations is due to how she may entirely change her playstyle due to rune reworks.
The domination runes have perfect synergy on her. Cheapshot, sudden impact, predator, dark harvest can all be loaded without difficulty and could make her more satisfactory.
Maybe we just need to wait a bit first.
