Evelynn's Reworked Kit

Zallamance·9/24/2017, 1:25:57 PM·2 votes·2,021 views

So, from what I can tell from the teaser, these are the things she has on her kit:

  1. Hate Spike. Looks to be just an updated version. Still spammable (maybe an ammo system now? But I doubt it)

  2. Shadow Walk. She definitely has some sort of trigger that makes her turn into this form and it appears she also gains a movement speed bonus from it. I believe this is now one of her spells and not her passive because...

  3. Heart Shaped Mark. Over top of Lucians head was Evelynn's new symbol, which promptly "popped" when she attacked him. So guessing that this is her new passive, and I feel like the mark will only appear if you manage to get close to an enemy without them gaining vision on you (Ie: stealth. But to stop it from limiting you in that way, bush strats too).

EDIT: 36-37 seconds in, we can see the mark start filling in (similar to Fizz's Trident). Although it was not their intention, props to BUNBANMAN for making me focus really hard during those frames to notice this.

EDIT: it appears that her abilities (maybe basic attacks too?) are what start the mark and also what trigger it's effect once it's fully charged.

EDIT: 3 small pink orbs begin to circle the Lucian after he's marked and the mark triggered before it was full, so it might be that Evelynn needs 3 hits before the mark fills in order to charm. However, the Lucian was walking away after the mark triggered, making it the reverse (Evelynn needs to avoid causing damage 3 times till the mark is fully charged, else she breaks the illusion and the target won't get charmed).

EDIT: Once the mark is triggered, Yasuo is moving slowly towards her with hearts around him. I feel confident in saying that he was charmed (same effect and visual signals as when Ahri and Rakan charm). Shout outs to BUNBANMAN and Vinícius Araújo on this.

  1. Piercing. On the cinimatic part of the teaser, she appeared to throw a projectile at Rengar. However, during her assassination with Lucian, she does an interesting animation of combining her back tentacles/spikes into a singular one and stabbing Lucian, making me think this is now a medium ranged spell on her kit.

EDIT: at the very beginning of the Lucian assassination, she definitely throws a projectile. Shout out's to Vinícius Araújo for this.

EDIT: It is this projectile landing that starts the heart icon, making me believe her charm needs her to land this skillshot. However, could still be it starts as soon as she causes damage, still unsure.

  1. Eviscerate. Along with her very own trade mark jump scare sound, Evelynn now does an AOE slash in a cone in front of her. Seems like a pretty straight forward ult, except for her being able to teleport to a previous location. I was only able to see the icon dissapearing either after she used it, or after her ult (like .5 seconds after her ult) so maybe she gets a mini Chrono-trigger when she ults, allowing her to back to a previous place a couple seconds ago if she immediately presses it? This is the only part I'm really stumped on tbh.

EDIT: After careful scrutiny of the frames where she assassinates Lucian, the icon that Evelynn can teleport to only appears after ulting. Shout out's to BUNBANMAN for bringing this up.

EDIT: during the Lucian assassination, it seems as though the teleportation icon is just beside the max vision range. Could be after ulting, Evelynn has a small window to retreat to the fog of war, or the "Shadow's".

I would put time stamps down for all this, but I'm already late for work. If anyone has any idea's or saw something I missed in the teaser, please leave a comment for me. Thanks.

TLDR;Eve is now more of a seductress, and her kit is all about stabbing, charming, and then scaring you.

If Evelynn loses her invisibility passive I'm going to die. She must NOT lose that passive! It's what makes her Eve, what makes people pick her as a jungler. If she can no longer perma stealth what's the point. I'm all for extra effects on her passive but I hope they didn't get rid of the perma stealth.

Passive is probably the mark. Not sure about the charm, but this mark DEFINITALLY has a defenses shred (if you look closely after it's procced it shows a broken blue shield next to the target, making me believe it shreds mr) (EDIT: Also, the passive is probably on a cooldown, and when the passive is off-cooldown her hair glows bright pink to show the mark is ready) Her Q is probably Hate Spikes, and I wouldn't actually be suprised if it works on an ammo system now and has an actual cast time, as eve has an animation for when she does it and she stands still. It's tempo seems to be reduced to a 0.75 second cooldown on the ability/between casts. Her W is probably a long duration stealth which might function differently from Camouflage and Invisibility (I was thinking maybe she hides herself from the map and hides her healthbar, so that you'll really have to stay alert to see the dark form walk into your lane) Her E is probably that dagger she throws, and it could possibly function a little like Talon's Q, where if it's casted from a distance it acts differently from when it's cast in melee range (in this case she does a ranged attack from a distance and bonus damage from melee range) And I'm certain that big swoop is her R, probably ment to be an execute.

One thing that's left is the teleport we see Eve do after her ult at 35 seconds. Don't know if it's an extra effect from her ult or a different ability. The mark on the ground does only appear after Evelynn flashed, so it's probably more likely to be like an effect where after she kills an enemy with her ult she can reactivate her ult to disappear to the other side of a near wall.
