What happened to Evelynn's line "It takes a lot of effort to move like this in heels."?

Reav3 said she still has that quote, but I listened to her whole voice-over and played her a fair bit on the PBE and not once have I heard it. What gives?

Edit: This turns out they did indeed end up cutting the line. Oh well...

Yeah, sorry just talked to JohnODyin, looks like they cut that line

:(

The times when i played eve I absolutely loved it when the line about the heels was said. Also the "I like it when they scream" was one i loved as well. Wish they kept them.

For real. But it wouldn't be the first time old lines were left out, I bring this one up specifically though because it was specifically said to still be there.

but she was confirmed to still have it

I didn't hear it either. But she lost her movespeed in the update. You can't zip across the map at 800ms anymore, so I guess it doesn't take a lot of effort anymore....

I always intepreted the 'move' in 'move like this' to refer to her stealth

Or her incredibly hunched posture.

Or combat in general, really =/

Yeah, one of her attack animations was kicking you with the fucking heels.

Does she still say "I've got the touch"?

yay nibbers6 votes

Not that I recall.

I don't know much but there is a lot of touching in her VO and touching is a key part of her lore, so it wouldn't be far fetched.

That was the one I wanted them to keep the most...

But they kept "The darkness is my veil." Like how is that a line more worthy of being kept?

Also 'I like it when they scream.'

I don't have time to listen to a full voiceover, but I hope it's still there. Seems very fitting for the Agony's Embrace.

Kinda fucked up, its the 1 line the community of eve players said they wanted to keep and riot just lies to us. Im sure they are going to come through with some excuse about it not fitting new evelynn but there is really no excuse for this.

yay nibbers5 votes

I'm sure it's just a misunderstanding. Perhaps the new voice actress recorded it but they ended up not using it and Reav3 didn't know at the time. Whatever the case is it'd be nice to get it cleared up.

YuGiHo4 votes

Either way

If the line was not recorded, He should not have said we would get it It the line was recorded and not used, He should not have said we would get it

like i said there is no excuse for this

they got a new voice actress to do the evelynn lines so i dont think they will use the old lines cause it's pretty obvious it's 2 different people.

I loved the old voice of eve. she just sounded evil and loved it. the new one has a nice giggle. but something is just missing in the song she sings. like it was ment to have a certain flavor but got lost in the acting, like it's alittle to soft and nice.

I too will miss the taunt "I like it when they screem" just the way she says it just made my day. and a great taunt when you won the game

I don't think anyone expects them to use the old voice line with the new champion lol. The expectation was that they'd have the new voice actress do the old but iconic line so that we'd have some reminder of the old Evelynn.

Chaosedge4 votes

You really expect Riot to keep their word on anything?

yay nibbers5 votes

I like to think they try to. I'm not here to call Reav3 a liar, I don't know the full story. I'm just looking for an answer to what's going on with that one line we were promised mere days ago.

Chaosedge1 votes

Well lets think about this from a developper standpoint. Let's say you have a Voice Actor/Actress who has to read off about 500 lines of dialogue, each taking about 1-10 attempts at each line. Sometimes lines just don't work out to fit into a character so they remove it. I think Elementalist Lux had the voice work a shit ton worse because you had 9-11(I forgot how many) different forms to act out.

I don't agree with you, but your brutal honesty got a chuckle out of me, so have an upvote.

Maybe she only says that when purchasing boots, maybe even just mobi boots or something.

Who knows.

Terozu2 votes

Its her move quote actually, not boots.

Paletongue3 votes

This was her most iconic line, the ONLY one i hoped they woulda preserved :/

She also doesn't say anymore "Misery loves company", which was a shared quote with Mordekaiser. They both shared the theme of inflicting pain to empower themselves. They could have special interactions... Too bad.

TheHobbits5 votes

Evelyn is no longer associated with the old Mord old Shadow Isle lore.

She is closer now to Tahm Kench in the world as a demon.

Still inflicts pain to empower herself. She wasn't really associated with anything anyways, her only "relations" being in the Friends/Enemies tab, without any explanation given. She has special interactions with Thresh, so why not with Mordekaiser?

Sukishoo8 votes

She says something like "Misery loves, whatever I tell it too" so it's better XD

thank god that line was awful

I really wish they would reconsided it and add the line on live game... i also liked the "i've got the touch".

Mihiela2 votes

"It takes a lot of effort to move like this in heels." I really miss that line.... kinda wish they left more of the old eve lines / personality. But i especially miss that line.... its not too late to add it

MistaFarenheit1 votes

i hope they still keep that quote in. "time to feed" was a good one too as some1 else mentioned when they played her from behind (no pun intended)

eyebrow Really? First I've heard.

Sukishoo1 votes

Might have been missing in the deploy? or just wasn't used :/

I mean, there are still a few other issues with her (like the splashes and such don't load properly when selecting her, you get the old ones)

Knalxz1 votes

Yeah, when I first heard that voice line I stopped and thought about it for a second.

I thought "Yeah you're like sneaking around and running at full sprints and shit."

I'd just like to point out an episode of the Boondocks to everyone.
