@RiotRepertoir, Eve loses the damage on her Ult, gains utility

Short of it, Eve's Ult as a damaging ability feels really... ick.

I know why you guys did it. You didn't want her to be able to kill things from range. So how about instead of making it a mediocre damage ability, you make it a great utility Ult instead?

I really, really miss Eve's old snowballing heal. Lose the damage, gain the old Malice and Spite heal on Kill/Assist? That would go a long way in returning Eve to her vampiric roots. Or maybe a refresh on kill/assist? Giant resistance shred in an AoE? Anything other than the anemic %Current HP nuke?

Would something of that sort be reasonable?

Am I the only person who wouldn't mind Eve's Ult lose its damage in return for something more interesting?

Man if you missed the old eve diving you under tower taking 50% reduced damage stunning you for a million years and getting out with your maximum hp as a heal so fun. Might want to re evaluate your life choices.

Eve's old Innate never reduced damage from towers, only lane minions.

Nor did I mention hard CC anywhere in the post.

I'm just saying that the nuke on her current Ult is really lame. The Ult could be a lot more interesting if it lost the damage and gained utility.

Well RIOT doesnt exactly know where Eve is in lore.

She has no real identity.

Her R is good to deal some damage(which can eb good vs tanky enemy setup) and gives ehr a shield based on how any get hit(lets her survive engagements somewhat)

I just wish you could activate her R and get a second or 2 of REAL stealth and be able to cast it again for its current effect within the stealth duration.

to actually get to ur target.

Personally always been fine with her ult. It's an amazing opener and fits her well. Using it just as you get out of stealth starting your fight. It gives her a lot of power when entering combat with the shield, a good chuck of damage if they have enough HP and a very strong low.

What I have a problem with is her W's MS being taken off in place of a crappy 1s taken off the CD when she hits a spell. This was a fairly important factor to her sticking to targets.

The Ult can work as an opener, I'm just sittin' here pitching the idea that it might be possible to make it something a little more interesting than its present incarnation. When Riot realized that they weren't exactly okay with Eve blowing up people from long range they should have just removed the damage and upped the utility to begin with.

As for the W, yeah. That struck me as a really weird 'buff'. The passive was for sticking. The active was for blowing off slows and running away (or catching up). With a 10+ second cooldown the one second reduction is really pretty uninspiring.

Her new W sucks.. I rarely get a soft reset even with 40%cdr spy because my target is either dead already or the fight does not go on long enough. her ult is garbage since it is the only ability in the game that cannot kill despite being adamaging ability.

it needs minimum damage at least.
