@Meddler Does eve need QoL changes or buffs?
I feel eve needs a little help as she lacks the tools many other assassins have, and her stealth really isn't that good without a gap closer.
Now before I rip into 
, she does have her place. She's really good at picken ppl out of position, but that's it. AND SO IS EVERY OTHER ASSASSIN!
> Pre 6 and without stealth, no gap closer and her telegraphed charm. Unless you have some really hard CC the gank will likely fail. Unless the enemy has over shoved hard the gank will fail. Post 6, with her stealth. Not only is her gank telegraphed as hell but they get a nice little indicator to tell them where she is. She has one spell to gap close now, her ult. But you really want that for the execute And late game. She's garbage. Everyone's bunched up so they're primed and ready the moment your charm shows up. You're like the old mercy from overwatch. Wait til everyone in your team is dead and the enemy is practically dead, then come in and ult them all. Only that doesn't work cos your team got rolled over in a 4v5. She does nothing to defend or allow sieges, she has ZERO! objective control. And she can't duel for shit despite her Q.
Her clear is generally a healthy one
In my opinion her flaws that need fixing are as follows
- She generally has lower HP than most other assassins at every point in the game
- She needs something to help her gap close. More on this later
- Her charm is way way waaaay too telegraphed
- She needs some way to hit people at range late game.
- She shouldn't come out of stealth when hitting wards or jungle plants
- "Demon Shade resets Whiplash's Cooldown and empowers the next cast." The first part of this is absolutely useless without a way to reset demon shade. At best you get half the CD back, even less later on once you have CDR.
I feel buffs or QoL changes are justified because she lacks so so many of the tool granted to AD assassins in their items along with their mobility
So let's go through all this and try to address every point.
> The first point is rather easy in that she simply needs a slight scaling health increase
.
> I feel they should add a second function to her E. So she would activate the spell granting her something like her old "Dark frenzy". So, first cast: eve gains a burst of movement speed and loses stealth (but she doesn't lose demon shade). Second cast is the normal spell (which is enhanced since she still has demon shade). I feel this is warranted as just about every other assassin has more gap closers than her. eg 
(double W)
.
> Honestly, remove the charm warning as it exists. They can have a warning the moment it's primed for the charm proc (so that'd b when the heart shows up). Or just show it on their debuff bar, forcing people to actually pay attention. Unless you're grossly over extending, all you have to do is run the moment it pops up currently. If the E change were to happen then they'd see her coming anyway
.
> Change her first Q cast a bit. Buff it's range at level 1. Each level increases it's range. It gains a very very small slow that doesn't increase with levels. This will give her something to poke with when you start grouping. And it will make procing charm easier later when people are bunched up in a lane.
. > This is a coding change. I have no idea how difficult it would be. But it feels garbage to not only be revealed but also lose the enhanced E for killing wards or hitting a fruit.
. > As for the last one, perhaps her ult resets the passive. Allowing her to escape or flank around. Actually, it would allow you to execute and disengage, then immediately re engage if the E change above happens. That would actually be a sweet combo in action
.
What are people's thoughts on eve? Would these changes fit or would they be too much?
Edit: aaand none of the quote boxes worked... perfect
