It is a bit disappointing that Urgot voice is far scarier than Evelynn's

Fasmodey··8 votes·927 views

When I thought Evelynn and her update before rework, I imagined serious, scary voice that would be like Urgot. A voice that makes you think this champion has no joke and dark as shit even before thinking about it. "It's better in the dark" teaser quote hyped me because of that. "Things we whisper in the dark" is an incredibly good quote too.

Then what happened? I laughed. I would never imagine myself laughing to Evelynn quotes. Even still I am laughing to "It's so...big..." which what I wouldn't want from Evelynn. Finding her funny.

Wish she had more quotes like teaser and in Urgot seriousness with less innuendos. Not because of I find it wrong, but because of they hurt Evelynn's evilness and identity.

Urgot on the other hand, I believe he is the best updated voice ever done by Riot. It is a masterpiece. They got everything correct with him and reflected terrifying death machine theme really well.

I make this thread not because I hope any change or anything, or just to complain. I make this thread only to remind Riot that evil champions should fell evil and unfunny unless it is specific like Shaco. Nocturne and Mordekaiser updated voices should be in level of Urgot, not Evelynn.

And please, please, please... Make next demon champion serious most of. Both Tahm Kench and Evelynn have so much quotes that makes them look less evil then they are, at least next one should show its evilness even by its voice, not just its acts.

What's the point in being a seductress, if your voice is scarier than a half robot-chem-monster thing? Terror isn't exactly condusive to lust.

She is not trying to seduce anyone, she is speaking with herself. Her taunts and jokes being seducing and having much innuendos make sense but not when talking with herself or whatever that she is not intended to seduce. She is not trying to seduce in her normal quotes anyway.

She could have specific and unique quotes for demon form in her normal quotes too, and it could be satisfying but they didnt, only turning quotes which I liked.

You can be a seductress with subtle innuendos with a serious and terrific personnality.

I don't find the "It's soooo... BIG" serious or even terrific, she's just a random slut now, what's the point making Evelynn a succubus who only wants sex from everyone lol ? They made her a stupid caricature, a comical character.

Evelynn was just a paid assassin with mysterious origins, and that's why she was so interesting.

Evil champions don't necessarily need to be unfunny. Take Negan from The Walking Dead. He's an example of how a villain can be both comical and terrifying. In Evelynn's case, she's honestly not that funny. She's just sexual because she's a demon of lust and quite honestly seems pretty dang evil when you concider that she wants to torture everyone to death.

In a way, Evelynn is a sexual predator who seduces her pray before exposing them to pure agony. Urgot, on the other hand, is fanatical visionary anarchist that wants to murder your family and hang their mutilated bodies with chains for all to see. Urgot wants you to fear him and Evelynn does not, so of course Urgot's VO is scarier than Evelynn's. However, Evelynn does produce her own type of fear. As a man, I'd be terrified knowing something like her existed: someone with cruel intentions who disguises herself as a highly attractive and naked woman to lure men to their agonizing death.

I agree, she should be sexual and terrifying. The more I read threads like this the more I feel vindicated for criticizing her update. Gameplay wise she looks fun, but she still just plays as a generic assassin. There is nothing that really builds the sense of dread you'd want from a succubus type champion. No game mechanic to incentivize the player to seek out an enemy Eve. No foreboding music/visual/sound to build the sense of dread that Evelynn is coming for you. She just hits level 6 and hey she gets stealth again. She pops out of nowhere but it's not exactly an upgrade from the old Eve's antics. I admit, they did such a good job with Warwick (my god the drums) my expectations for horror-themed champions were fairly high.

warwick is more of a charge at you and claw your face off type of champion than he is a suddenly a wild eve appears type champion, they have a similar effect on eve with the lust dust passive though ill admit its nowhere near as spooky as warwicks bloodhunt. maybe if they added a bit of that piano music in her teaser to it itd be alittle more impactful?

Personally I think the demonic succubus that pops out of nowhere should be more terrifying than a chemically altered Chimera. With all of the media out there of demonic whispering, appearing and disappearing before a jump scare I do not see why Eve couldn't have some of the same attached to her stealth.

Maybe but that would feel like a cheap bloodhunt rip off. Personally I'd like to see somewhere where you begin to hear Eve whisper randomly, maybe growing louder and then suddenly stopping. I was hoping that was a mechanic when they showed the teaser with Evelynn goading you. Could be a good game mechanic if it happens when she's getting close. Maybe a bit of text appears at the top of the screen with something ominous and then it dissappears (attached to the whispering so those who play muted still have warning). Did Eve leave? Is it safe to go back and farm? Well I've been sitting by my turret missing cs for half a minute now she surely is gone, let me grab that canon min OH SHIT OH SHIT OH- I'm dead.

thats actually not a bad idea, add a kind of leblanc type illusion mechanic to her lust dust? have her appear from the shadows and on the minimap from multiple directions and laughing so you dont actually know which one is her and dont have time to click on one untill the real eve is halfway up your ass.

Warwick Main1 votes

Well that may step on Leblanc's toes a bit but maybe an untargetable version that just runs by along with the whisperings I mentioned before. That could be a handy way to blow someones flash with zero effort, and the counterplay is as simple as attempting to target the Eve-clone before reacting.

i mean shes already pissed off numerous ahri fans why not give ol leblanc a kick in the snatch while were at it. the clones would be completely illusory, unlike leblanc you cant target them period even if your apm is faker level. whispers and laughter included.

MistaFarenheit1 votes

dont get me wrong i like the idea but it seems alittle broken given how powerful her kit is already.

i think anything about urgot being scarier than eve is justified. can you imagine sharing a cell with the man? his lower half is completely mechanic so id buy some sturdy soap on a rope if i were you.

edit: on a serious note though, if you read her current lore and remember the old stuff she ALWAYS had a bit of a playful side to her on top of the seductive and dangerous ones. i really like the new eve personally, there is nothing wrong with a dangerous character that can make you laugh. even then as fucked up as urgots quotes and interactions are theyre still quite funny to me.

Fasmodey2 votes

Urgot is only funny in joke quotes and even they feel evil. Otherwise I cant remember any funny quote. Can you share with me?

On old Eve case, that's why we call it update. Sion was a complete grandma but he has become awesome with well reflected theme.

MistaFarenheit1 votes

i dont really play him but in a tobias fate video i saw that when he kills annie he says "who would ever kill a child? oh...right."

dark as hell but i found it amusing.

Fasmodey1 votes

It is not even close to funny. That's dark as fuck. And brutal.

It is his one of the most evil quotes IMO and I REALLY LOVE THAT QUOTE.

MistaFarenheit1 votes

idk i guess im fucked up but i love the quote too just cuz it makes me laugh

Fasmodey1 votes

It ia his killing with ult quote btw, not a normal quote. It is like taunt in action according to Riot.

Have you listened to her voices in demon shade? I think they're going for a duality with her: seductive when seen, vicious when in her shadow form.

Fasmodey1 votes

I listened almost every quote. Her turning invisible quotes what I would want from Evelynn in general.

And a few taunts are really good too, ike her saying to Kench "stay out of my terrority" She feels like she has no joke and is an alpha predator in that quote.

Otherwise, not so much. Some quotes are evil in act but voicing butchers them. And others are innuendo. Yeah.

Stars Shaper1 votes

Urgot being more frightening than Evelynn makes sense to me. Evelynn is an evil creature that lures you in and then tortures you to her pleasure while Urgot is simply terror incarnated in its most grotesque form, he wants you to give up to panic and so on.

Fasmodey1 votes

But at least balance it. Not innuendos + funny quotes with demonic ones being minority.

I can't take her serious in most of her quotes.

DariusDemiurge1 votes

Did you also complain about Elise's human form voice? They are monster women that need to be as alluring as possible ffs... She isn't supposed to be scary until she has you.

Fasmodey1 votes

Elise quotes are mysterious, soft and without innuendos. She sounds confident and evil. She is also not evil as much as Evelynn so I wouldnt complain if she had quotes of Evelynn.

Wrathof3001 votes

Evelynn and Tahm Kench were specifically designed to not be 100% evil.

I actually wouldn't be surprised if Shaco became much more serious but that is dependant on the direction Riot takes him.

KoKoboto1 votes

I do agree but I don't think her voice should always be scary. It would be nice if she had some spooky lines tho.

For example when taunting a champion she isn't fond of like Ahri. Or when she gets a bunch of kills. She doesn't show her demon side enough when she's being aggressive if you ask me.

I think her only demon voice line is when she ults.
