Looks like Evelynn is passed up again...

Champion Update Schedule

This is really starting to be a bit tiresome. Does anyone in Riot actually like Evelynn?

They have problems envisioning her...

Get it :))

Though I agree that she has been ignored

Probably, but some folks got free time to do Warwick so they're working on him instead. Warwick needs a rework just as badly as Eve does.

darkdillMay 13, 20161 votes

Moreso, IMO. Warwick's got the problem of bad gameplay, in that he basically ults and then just autoattacks while spamming Q. BOOOOOOOOORING.

ThunderSkelettMay 19, 20161 votes

where is the diferenc too Jax MasterYi XinZhao they also just auto attck but they dont need a rework

darkdillMay 19, 20161 votes

Tell me what Warwick can really do that involves finesse, good timing, or good positioning. Moreorless nothing.

Jax could wait for an enemy to use their AS steroid before he uses Counterstrike, Xin can use his ultimate to isolate an enemy player from their teammates, and Yi can time his Q to avoid a skillshot or his W to soak up damage.

ThunderSkelettMay 19, 20161 votes

ok your right.

DwarvenGiantMay 13, 20161 votes

And they also have a better direction for Warwick, probably. :P

But a question still remains...will this rework also update Sorakas and Singeds lore since both are linked currently with Warwick (specially Soraka since her current transformation is directly the result of Warwicks transformation)? And also will Warwick be part of Zauns lore update (like they did for Taric), which would also be a nice time to update all of the Zaun characters lore that need it, specially Singed (poor guy has outdated lore even for pre-retcon era)...or will he stay separate from all of that?

GreenLoreMay 14, 20161 votes

Well I could see them leaving Sorakas lore like it is,I mean sure WW plays a big role in it,but in the end I am pretty sure that this role won't change.

And in Singeds case I kinda doubt it,simply because singeds lore was already broken before the retcon...

Im not sure, when I hear Full Relaunch we have to be prepared for anything.

Eve has a pretty dark history of being one of the most troublesome champs in the history of League. Way, way back in S1, I remember them actually purposefully nerfing her into near unplayablity until Stealth was fixed as a mechanic.

For reference, she used to be able to stun you out of her invis. And there was none of that "proximity detection" stuff.

Noone has ever been nerfed that hard except for the time Jax was actually briefly removed from the game.

Of course, that's sorta ancient history now. Visually, I agree she could use a rework, definitely, and I was kinda surprised nothing happened with her during the Shadow Isles mini-event last year.

I'm confused? What's going on? Evelynn is actually not a bad pick right and in a playable state

Mirage NightMay 13, 20162 votes

I not as pissed that there is no kit update. Its the VU that I am getting angry about. They wont give her a skin higher than 750 due to her rig being so fucking outdated.

Although the VGU will have a kit update. But that to me is the side issue.

GreenLoreMay 13, 20162 votes

However her kit is quite the mess(it is supposed to work like an ap-assassin,but it actually fits a bruiser style much more) and her thematical identity(being an evil blue stripper isn't really unique),as well as her lore are pretty much nonexistent.

Hmm I honestly disagree that her kit is supposed to work as an Ap assassin since her Q and E both have AD ratios and her E gives a massive amount of attack speed and her E deals physical damage instead of magic. Why would AP need massive steroids of AS of her kit was made to be full ap? I mean even old evelynn had her ult that gave you a massive amount of AS and MS, I honestly believe she was built more to be a hybrid assassin but mostly bruiser since her ult fits a bruiser more than ap assassin.

As for her identity i totally agree and her lore has always been a mystery up to that point.

GreenLoreMay 13, 20163 votes

A rioter himself said that Eve is supposed to be an AP-assassin(not sure if i can find the post,it was a few weeks ago,when they talked about GUs and what roles they'll prioritize)

And anyway,thats what I mean with her kit being a mess She is supposed to be an AP-assassin(though I think its possible that she was originally intended to be also a viable hybrid assassin),which is why her kit is a mess. Her E works better with AD,her Q and ult work better for bruisers,even though her passive pretty much screams "assassin"

Stasis691May 18, 20161 votes

This. 1 million times this. (In regard to her not actually being an AP assassin.)

AngelSpiteMay 13, 20161 votes

No, they will touch her next year, along with the assassin update.

GreenLoreMay 13, 20161 votes

Thats rather unlikely(at least in terms of visuals). She is supposed to get a full VGU and the assassin update might even happen this year.

She'll likely get a few gameplay tweaks during the assassin update,but thats about it.

GreenLoreMay 13, 20161 votes

It's not like Warwick isn't in the need of a VGU as well. Sure WW has already lots of skins,but they are all low quality as well and he suffers from a bad ingame model as well as really outdated gameplay as well.

RavenhaleMay 13, 20161 votes

This actually isn't news. It was almost confirmed that Warwick would be the next and possibly last Champion overhaul for this calendar year. They have talked about a possible rework in 2017, though I believe they have Urgot viewed as higher priority.

That said, there is little chance that either of them will get skins this year.

lolipopevelynnMay 14, 20161 votes

its already confirmed they will not work on her till next year sadly. so even if we get an assassin update this year she wont be getting that VU till next year.

ThunderSkelettMay 19, 20161 votes

that is all i want :`( just let her look better

Mirage Night, you should remember the main rule of posting threads about Evelynn. Make the pun about her invisibility in the original post to remove the low hanging fruit out of the way. Otherwise you risk your thread being dedicated to the invis jokes.
