Let's Talk About Evelynn
. She is a very unique champion, and I love her. She revolves around her passive of "hey look buy pinks or give me free kills"* which is cool in my opinion. Now I would love to go on about her kit and how it makes her super fun to play, but I need to get to the point before people go by and dislike for "too much reading". So, onward.
The changes to her kit in the past few changes have angered me. I understand the patches were a while ago but I didn't know how exactly I would address them. So here I am to talk about the only change that was made that I dislike: her W passive.
Her W passive now reads "Evelynn's spell hits on enemy champions reduce Dark Frenzy's cooldown by 1 second." compared to what it used to read "Evelynn's spell hits on enemy champions grant her a flat movement speed bonus for 3 seconds. This effect stacks up to 4 times." (Do remember there is still the reset of the cooldown on kill or assist.)
What I find wrong with this is that Riot is completely ruining Evelynn's identity, and more importantly, her gameplay. See, Evelynn's main role is an assassin. Regardless of the age old debate of AD v.s. AP Evelynn**, that's still what she is supposed to be.
This change to the W is completely against that. It wants a tanky sustain Evelynn, one that is in the fight for a long time. But Riot, many champions already to this. This is the tank meta.
For those who didn't play Evelynn as much as I did before the change, here is how fights went: You went in behind via your passive, W in to E and mash Q and auto attack the carry. Before the team can react, you have your W reset and you are out fast as hell because you got the passive up to 4 stacks.
This was one of my favorite things to do in the entire game. It's not like it was overpowered either it only works when you have enough items to kill them. Otherwise you are just feeding the enemy team(probably what most Evelynns still do***).
This is my rant for the day. I will have a poll on whether to bring back her passive or not, so that Riot may see who wants it back.
*Accurate
**It's AP btw
***This excludes the people who manage to play her in ranked
