Eve is the reincarnate of Old Rengar [Not an Eve salt thread]

It's the same basic pattern post 6.

  • She stealths up to you, avoiding all vision.

  • She gives you a brief moment of "Of fuck" before he royally violates you, however in most cases this feels like a "You're dead" indicator than a warning.

  • She then proceeds to nuke you down via point charm and a skillshot that she'd have to be bronze to miss.

  • If she catches you out alone when fed, there's literally no chance to outplay her assuming you don't have Qss or cleanse. You're dead well before the CC ends.

My question is then, why is this considered okay and healthy, but Rengar's old play pattern was not?

She abuses stealth to pick off isolated targets, does similar burst when fed, has a hard CC ability unlike Rengar who only had a snare, and even has a powerful built in escape to boot.

In conclusion, this is not an "Evelynn is op pls nerf thread". Rather, I'm trying to understand why Riot is so against old Rengar's kit when they've essentially revived it in this new Eve rework design. Yes they go about things a little differently, but the core gameplay elements are very similar.

It leads me to believe that Rengar was reworked, less due to acutal gameplay health issues, and more due to adc main's hate bandwagon on GD.

dude theres like a 4 second chargeup on the charm

would you be suprised if i told you that without the hard cc eve would be a dollar store kha zix eve relies on the charm more than anything to pick off her targets

old rengar presses r and walks up to you, facerolls his keyboard and gets out safely current eve presses e, waits for 4 seconds, then facerolls her keyboard and gets out safely

current eve is not like old rengar because back then old rengar didnt have current riot's ideals of delayed burst on assassins

How is this not an Eve salt thread when the entire post is nothing but salt?

It's not ok and healthy, it's just as toxic are bad as it was before due to the fact that now there's a damn charm in the kit and an execute. Riots just being extremely stubborn and doesn't want to admit this was a bad rework.

They did nothing to fix old eve's problems, they just replaced them with new problems and watered down what made her good.

It's an actual mess. Her numbers are cranked up into the sky to make up for her bad kit right now too hence why she does so much damage.

And then we have the people who've never tocuhed the champion trying to rebuttal saying shes fine and pointing out her winrate endlessly like winrate matters.

You guy see rammus and kayle's winrates? Those champs look well designed to you?
