About the Evelynn VGU

JooshBox·9/13/2017, 5:56:46 PM·1 votes·773 views

Hey, this is my first post so bear with me.

We've had quite a few full champion VGU's now: Galio Sion Yorick Poppy Ryze Urgot Taric Warwick etc, with Evelynn soon on the way I wanted to ask what would you like to see kept and what would you like to see replaced in new Eve? We've had massive appearance changes to characters like the aforementioned Galio and Urgot, as well complete kit changes like Sion or Yorick. I have to admit I barely ever played any of these champions pre-rework, but I now have level 6+ mastery on over half of them. And some of them I've become really attached to like Galio, Taric, and Yorick. Evelynn will be the first champion I cared for pre-rework. She was one of the first champions I spent IP on. Actually, I think she was second right after TwistedFate. I got to gold on Evelynn, I got my first pentakill on Evelynn, heck I played her and loved her back when her passive was "minions do 50% damage to Evelynn". I wanted to ask the community what they would like to see kept in her appearance, her abilities, her lore, and her overall thematic. Riot probably already has everything set in stone by now but I wanted to ask what do you guys want to see in the new Evelynn VGU and what you guys wouldn't mind seeing gone.

Personally, from an appearance perspective, I hope she stays blue with pink/purple hair. I think it's unique and very much a part of her character. I wouldn't want them to completely change her color scheme like they did with Galio. (Although I do like the pristine white marble). I also hope they keep her sexuality though based on the leak I won't have to worry about that.

From a gameplay perspective, I think they'll probably focus on making her a Jungler (even though I played her mid in late season 2-3). I also hope she is predominantly an ability power based champion item 3146 item 3100 item 3116 item 3285 . I only really hope they keep her hate spike ability and her stealth. Everything else is fair game, and I'm excited to see what they come up with.

Finally, for her Lore and overall relation to the Universe, I'm hoping she remains connected to the Shadow Isles and she is still mysterious, cunning, and vicious. There were rumors years ago that she was related to the ruined king, but I doubt that is the case. I'm expecting them to turn her into some kind of demon like TahmKench, and while that is not a bad thing I'd be disappointed to see her lose her ties the Shadow Isles. Maybe she and Kench are demonic manifestations of the seven deadly sins. Her being lust, and Kench being gluttony, I don't know I'm just spitballing here. Also, I hope she is still connected in some way to TwistedFate, but I'm pretty sure that's a long shot. It's been speculated that she is the lustfully sadistic demon appearing in Vayne 's new lore. I'm not sure how I feel about this yet.

TLDR: What would you like to see changed in new Eve?

Anyways, in conclusion, thanks for reading my post, please let me know what you think. Since Evelynn isn't in the current PBE cycle, I'm expecting to see her on patch 7.20. Also, any tips on formatting future posts are appreciated.

We know Evelynn is keeping her main color scheme, so probably similar appearance body wise, but with different clothing. We also know that the spikes are staying in her kit due to this gif: https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gu_Lwtw8t9s/WW-enpPZXjI/AAAAAAAApfQ/GqdsEnA9yPIN3amVK7uYcrkuusYxv_iMQCLcBGAs/s1600/LOL_CMS_108_Article_03.gif (It actually looks a bit more pink than it was before, but it's still similar)

There's also no way they're going to remove her invisibility 100%. I expect she'll still have an invisibility passive, but with some kind of special condition attached so it's not toxic.

The thing I miss most from old Eve was her Ult. The thing used to heal you for 650 HP at level 3 on takedowns. It was CRAZY. So you wait for the Tank to initiate and sponge a bit of burst, then you pounce on some poor loser and kick them in the shin a few times. If they die? Great! You get a massive heal and snowball the fight.

If they don't die?

Disengage and circle back when you can stealth again. Try to pick off those weak targets.

The first Eve remake removed ALL the nuance from her Ult. Herp derp, blast a pile of enemy champs for a giant shield and then hope for the best.

at the end of the day, as Long as long as I can Lane as eve I'm happy. Jg evelynn isn't nearly as fun, and the reasons why are simple. it leaves you feeling completely inadequate when you compare her to Main stream jungles. it feels almost as if she doesn't have a place in the jungle atm, or She could have a place but your doing your team a disservice by picking her, I mean even if I do get 10 kills by 20 minutes I can do that as Lee, and Ww too.

so sad truth is Evelynn has NOTHING extra except her stealth, she is such a One trick mentality that she doesn't do anything Cool, Why ? because ligit when I gank people as eve they SCREAM like a little girl in real life, their heart skips a beat, it's super stressfull to the people I kill in real life, so she gets gutted, why are they super panicky like that ? Probably drugs, a week fearful personality or lots of weed.

the old Q is in a new way there, the perma stelath is still there but much better and her kit has kind of 2 forms (shadow form, normal form)

I want to know so much more than what that small gif provides, please Riot give me a little something to go on [sg-soraka]. It's good to know they are keeping her core appearance. I just noticed is that a tail in the art?
