Balance Help. Or hire me.

So yeah just a bunch of tips for the balance team because it doesn't seem they are close to getting game balanced before season launch.

  1. Fix support items. Right now relic shield is being bought on marksman bottom for overshield benefits (overheal I think is fine if relic was not so good that it makes it stupidly strong rune for adcs) while spell thief's edge is being bought on mid laners and ap junglers because it does not penalize getting stacks from killing creeps enough or jungle monsters at all. Should stop gold per sec or 5+ secs and/or put larger restraint on stack times if you are actively farming minions/monsters.

  2. Klepto is a joke. It should be a support surplus gold mastery not a "win more and get to late game sooner" for carries. By having bonus stats being so high in inspiration tree to help supports and not punish klepto users from farming and proc'ing at the same time, you are letting late game carries get their power spikes unnaturally fast whether or not they outplay you and they actually are stronger early with the stat boosts. It is not fun. Fix it; gp, ezreal, akali, ekko, illiaio, etc. are benefiting way too much from what should be a support mastery. Either lower passive stats given from inspiration (not best idea) or make it so klepto goes on cooldown if you kill creeps (better suggestion) and then maybe you can offset so it gives slightly more benefits so its worth a support risking a damage trade.

  3. Evelynn is too strong now everyone has figured her out in most ranks. By the time she waits for her w charm to come up, she has already got into a favourable position to either have team clump unfavourable or picked a good flank spot to pick off a carry. Her damage seems a little too high. But I think her biggest issue is her e/vision range. By the time you can finally see her, she only needs to take 2 steps before she is in her enpowered E dash range and if you are a carry, you are pretty much dead with nearly no counterplay at most levels. Something that is easy to pull off yet really hard to outplay is not fun.

I am mainly frustrated with Evelynn because in past 15 games I have seen her, she always gets fed. Even last game that was a normal game, we had an eve vs eve matchup in jungle and they both got 20 kills and did most damage in game nearly both doubling 2nd highest damages on their teams respectively.

I am sure there are other issues and such I could address and the balance team is working on it but some of recent changes have been odd and some issues have not been addressed even though they have been an issue for a while (namely spell thiefs and klepto keystone). But I kind of think its a joke. I really should be on the balance team because I play the game well enough and long enough to know what is strong, weak and just unfair/unfun. It is great you guys are catching some stuff eventually (lethality nerf, aery nerf for damage, etc.) but sometimes it seems rather slow or you guys are derping for 2 months before good changes are made and then u make dumb changes within a few weeks (IE. AP galio and having his Q do 50% of max hp if he has 300-400 ap).

I won't let you down and I love this game but the balance team seems a bit like clowns and I could do better. Its one thing to take a while to make changes within game files (which I respect); its another to know what to change (wtf r ppl thinking).

BTW this is just a smurf I am posting from if people really don't I play the game a lot. I have over 7k games on my main with normal+ranked+arams.

The only changes Eve needed were to make her W not reduce MR for her entire team and just increase damage to her target, plus less scaling on her passive early. If she has any sort of lead early she's impossible to force out of the jungle and can chase anyone down after chunking them and disengaging.

That's just, like, my opinion, man.

You shoulda checked PBE befor posting bud.

Also recall how many people demanded huge buffs for eve after rework? Not only that even in the first week of preseason folks wanted her to get massive buffs, some times there is a community opinion that's just massively wrong (she did get some small buffs which I found silly at the time)

First things first

"BTW this is just a smurf I am posting from if people really don't I play the game a lot. I have over 7k games on my main with normal+ranked+arams."

No. If you ACTUALLY had that account you would have taken the 3 seconds to log into your main account and post it there.

Second. Eve is strong yes, maybe slightly too strong. but not blatantly OP like you are trying to state.
