@Meddler Please tell me you're gong to buff Eve to compensate for removing runeglaive
(For context, runeglaive is being replaced by a jungler version of Luden's Echo, which does 80 + 10% of ap, with bonus damage and mana on monster hit)
Eve is already in a pretty terrible spot with the preseason; lack of sight wards actually hurts her, because her biggest strength is the abilty to ignore sight wards. Runeglaive is literally the only reason she's even viable; she can proc it off cd with her Q and is actually in melee range to do so. Runeglaive does 100% base AD + 30% of ap. On eve, that's a base of 113, and she can proc it every 1.5 seconds. The new item does 33 + 20% ap less damage, and will only be procced aproximitely every 10 seconds, decimating her damage.
Not only that, the new item doesn't have mana, and Eve's W was given a mana cost JUST BECAUSE runeglaive had mana and she needed to be "more mana hungry than she is".
I know you guys often don't buff people proactively because you want to wait until you can see how the new changes affect them, but Eve needs buffs anyways, and this is a direct, indisputable nerf to her in a big, big way. I agree with the line of reasoning behind changing out runeglaive (it screws over ability-based junglers, especially fiddlesticks, and has too many abuse cases) but please, for the love of all that's holy, buff eve when you do it.
never came out in the first place and something like this came out they never would have had to nerf
so much in the first place. If you look at the history of the item starting with the
abuse, it is probably one of the most poorly designed and least thought out items ever released.
and
for example.
You must be new here.
