from what ive heard you guys have been throwing around ideas for eve for like 2 years now, and for shaco he was scheduled but then got shelved for some reason.
can we expect any news for either one of these two champs VU to come this year? i cant imagine them being a large scale project like poppy/sion or taric. but at the same time i dont expect them to be small scale either, so what would possibly hold them from getting a VU this year?
We did do some exploration into a possible Shaco direction a year or two ago. That was a gameplay only update that didn't hit the mark at the time however, so got put on hold (it was some opportunistic work to see what was possible in some free time, rather than a prioritized project). Evelynn we haven't looked into a major gameplay update for since her rework years ago. I do think we'll need to take a look at how stealth/stealth detection works again sometime in general though (possibly as part of an assassin class update at some point).
As far as VUs go I'd expect both to be pretty sizeable projects given the age of their current models/anims/VFX etc. Taric's our current priority, and Yorick's the likely full relaunch after that. After that it gets less certain. There's some argument for Shaco or Eve certainly, some other champs we'd really like to tackle too though (Urgot and Warwick for example).
Evelynn will always be nerfed... she has been since season 1.
