@Gypsylord Can we talk about Evelynn's W passive?

With the removal of Magus Enchantment, I think it's time we put Eve's old move speed on spell-hit passive back in place of the 1 sec CD on hit.

I want to focus on something you said in a thread discussing the change from a couple of months ago:

"The W change overall has felt like a pretty big in/out mobility buff in mid-late game AS LONG AS YOU GET A BIT OF CDR (magus anyone). You trade some training potential (especially in the early game) but having that slow cleanse up every few seconds to escape/close is invaluable given the new passive CD."

Now of course we all know that with the recent change of Magus to Runeglaive, the AP jungle item lost 10% CD. That's a problem. The original excuse given for this change was that it can potentially work well with CDR (although I maintain that even with CDR the new passive is a shadow of the former), but with the CDR nerf it is incredibly difficult for Eve to get any substantial CDR. If you look at the most built items on Eve, there is pretty much no CDR outside of the jungle item.

I was in a match the other day and I had 3 opponents chasing me and I was pretty tanky so I didn't die instantly, and all of them within range of my q, but even with 3 or so q's I just couldn't get the reset on w. The utility just isn't there compared to the old passive.

Now if you say it was intended to be a nerf, then I would be okay with that. Not happy, but okay. But the fact that this was touted as a buff just makes no sense to me. It isn't a buff by any stretch.

Now I know that she isn't in a terrible place right now and she's seeing more play than she used to, but to me she just feels much much worse than she used to. A big part of Eve to me is that she is the opposite of most champions - she doesn't slow you down, she keeps up with you. But that's just not really a possibility anymore. So I implore you, at least revisit the idea of the old W passive. Even if the numbers a tweaked around a bit, it's better than having a cooldown mechanic on an ability that already has a reset function.

Edit: Oh, and I think a lot of Eve players would gladly go back to the 6 second stealth CD at all levels in exchange for the old W. Just something to think about.
