Riot, Thank You For Evelynn.

As someone who (rarely) plays jungle, but when I do, picks Evelynn, I'm extremely grateful for the new Eve Rework. Every time I played her, I loved her succubus-y vibe, but would often cringe at how she looks (been playing since 2012, that's a lot of cringing done that I've done), but Riot's fixed that!

The people who worked on Eve have done wonderfully in preserving her identity, making her kit far more interesting, and also revamping her look without losing that awesome mysterious vibe she had (Thank you for getting rid of the blue skin especially, the white skin is so much nicer)!

She now looks like a lot more fun to play, while also being more mechanically difficult (which is so much more fun in general), and, as a female player, I get a really nice sense of empowerment from her as well (which can be hit-and-miss with "sexy champions", but you've done perfectly with this one)! She doesn't feel like a character "designed for men", she feels like a badass chick who knows what she's doing, knows she's strong, and is gonna have fun as much fun as she wants with it, and god help anyone who gets in her way.

Thank you so so much,

She's wonderful. [sg-jinx]

It’s always posts like these that make me smile. With a lot of people complaining about how terrible the new Evelynn is, it’s so nice to have someone who dedicates an entire post commending the teams for their work. You go Jinx! I agree 100%!

Like Felaze said below, it's nice to see someone else saying that Eve is a good champ in her VGU. It looks fantastic, sounds fantastic, and I think I'm gonna have a great time with her in the future. The team did a great job making a champ who's sexual themes not only don't feel forced, but actually add to the character. Yet people keep complaining because of skins or her "not being Evelynn" (the point is that they're doing a completer overhaul, seriously). It's nice to just see someone (especially a girl, many seem to be complaining here) that Evelynn is just a sex character. She's not. You've got what makes new Eve new Eve down, and I respect you immensely for that.

You've just summed up what I love about her vgu.

Eve looks fantastic. I love everything about the new rework - as typical with the newer champs, I am SUPER excited for her previously "blah" skins, Shadow and Masquerade. They look GORGEOUS, and I can't decide which I like more. The splashes are excellent, I'm just super fanboying over everything about new Eve!

Not desinged for men? All champs are for all. I feel your point but making a champ on people's sex but not on their likes like they did with the forest hobo feels pretty sexist. I mean Thresh is kinda this champ but for "men" but this doesn't mean girls can't play and enjoy him. For me evelynn will be a nice new comer in my jungle collection as I am guy who sticks with the new things like WW and Xayah.

As someone whose ex can be categorized as "yandere", this Eve is actually giving me flashbacks.

Yeah. She's scary.

I feel her pure sexual nature will attract a lot of men, and have them playing her late into the night... ... ...

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)ifyouknowhatimean

But I also feel like she will appeal to dominant women a lot. She is, after all, a true dominatrix now. And many people enjoy the fantasy of dominating or being dominated. ESPECIALLY in such a competitive game like League. Psychologically speaking, people who are competitive by nature are almost ALWAYS dominant (or want to be). So in all honesty, I believe she was designed for both men and women. She isn't so much a symbol for feminine empowerment as she is a symbol for sexual empowerment (in my opinion).

I've been playing since before season 1. And during the early years of League (season 1 and 2) I was an Evelynn one-trick. I too am EXTREMELY excited for this! Waiting for the PBE to come back up so I can play her right now actually. I've always been an Evelynn fan, and to see her getting so much love... I can't express how happy I am. Riot has done an absolutely phenomenal job on her. Her new visuals, voice acting, her theme tweaks, they're are all absolutely perfect in my eyes. Oh, and the long overdue hair cut (bless her soul) that she's needed for many years.

I agreed with you until her voice lines got revealed. Now, it just seems like they're trying to sell sex to horny teenagers.

I really loved the art direction and lore background on the remade Eve.

I absolutely detest the direction they took her kit in.

Eve has never been an Assassin in terms of gameplay, not really. She was somewhere between a Diver and a Skirmisher. The only time she's been an Assassin was because of items (like Deathfire Grasp) adding more burst to her meager up-front damage. If I could get Season 1 Eve back with the remake version's Passive and W, I would take it in a heartbeat.

I sorta agree on that, with so many chickflicks in the game, none seemed to get it right.

Now everyone's gonna either ship her with TahmKench ,Thresh , or Ahri .
