Evelynn's W should break all CC, not just slows

(edit: by all CC I don't mean displacements which are completely unblockable)

It's the kind of buff that would help her out tremendously without directly injecting pure power into the kit.

Gangplank can do it, so why not Eve?

Gangplank doesn't have perma-stealth, essentially invalidating the use of stealth wards.

Gangplank has a stupidly powerful crit potential and can usually out-damage or out-tank eve respectively.

Most importantly, GP is not OP so the mechanic can't be that overbearing. Anyways, when Eve's ability was originally designed there was far less hard CC in the game, but nowadays it's all over the place so I don't think it's asking too much. And they're looking for ways to give Eve some help without straight up buffing her numbers, so I think this is an effective way to do that.

Any champion has a 'stupidly powerful crit potential' if you build crit on them.

What kind of statement even is that?

One Q with crits & item 3031 brings down about 70% HP of an ADC, but whatever...

I meant the cc cleanse mechanic, sorry

Then they will need to give GP's W a speed buff aspect, and make it work against Knock up. Also, give him a passive that gives %mana per second, and a stealth mechanic.

At most, they would probably allow her to get out of Roots and slows with it. All cc's would be too much.

No, it just needs to prevent Damage over Time effects from re-applying slows after the slow is removed. (e.g. Cassiopeia 's W)

or maybe maker her immune to slows for 1-2 seconds? to give her time to get out of slow fields (Anivia Cassiopeia MissFortune item 3025, etc )

That's a good idea

Gank plank has a MS buff in one skill and a heal CC clensae in the other. He still has to keep up and gets slowed down if he tries to AA the enemy champion or get slowed down by casting Q.. Eve can keep up with the enemy champion, doing AA while ravaging his life bar with a Q. I guess it is a nono.

Would also be nice if it reset her passive timer and didn't break her out of her passive

Now THAT would be OP

Now THAT would be OP

Yeah she would have an actual assassin related mechanic to remove aggro and escape situations. Totally OP for a supposed Assassin to be capable of doing.

Do you even play Evelynn? That's not her issue at all atm.

DynamiteGazelle1 votes

I do. She's my main. Her biggest issues are mana consumption and slow clear times, but in my opinion her extremely powerful gank potential makes up for that.

But so many people are clamoring for buffs on her so this is my suggestion for a buff that will increase her potential without straight up numbers.

Her issue atm is her damage output... It's weak...

Not every champion needs to be able to dish out massive amounts of damage. Eve isn't a champion who should be dueling anyways. Global pressure from stealth and strong ganks define Eve. She is great early game and falls off, but is able to become a decent tanky initiator.

Her damage output for what she is is fine, but I do agree that her clear times could use some improvement. But even then, you sacrifice farmability for powerful ganks which make or break the game for you. It's a fair trade.

GP is a pirate. Pirates can, eve simply can't.

The reason she cannot have CC removal on W is because it has a reset. It is one thing to remove CC once, entirely another to do so repeatedly.
