How I picture Eve's VU

I do not own the artwork, this was made by a artist called CMorilla and was designed to be a skin for Eve, but I see I a lot more like a visual update.I love Eve , but I think that she needs a visual update quite urgently. She is called Evelynn: The widowmaker, Primary role: Assassin, secondary role: Mage. But she looks more like Evelynn: The Dominatrix with a killing fetish, Primary role: Assassin, secondary role: Stripper. Her Tango skin is my favorite, because it shows Eve as she should be: A exquisitely gorgeous assassin, with the ability to turn her gentle touch into a killing blow. I think that this artwork shows exactly the way I picture Eve, seducing yet not a madam. Riot, I know that you announced that Eve is not getting visual love in the preseason, but please get to updating her as soon as possible. You have talking about giving her one for years, yet every time we ask about it you say soon , if you say anything at all.

Evelynn is (Slightly) more busty than that.

She also usually wears less clothes in her default outfit.

Her expression is too soft.

Basically, it's a softer, friendlier, more PG version of Evelynn... I dislike, a lot.

Game's PEGI12 mate. Sadly, the art direction directly correlates to the apropriate "average" playerbase age, which is kids and teenagers. Thus, albeit diverce, their themes are never really "adult oriented" in a fully fleshed out way; that's to say, not really sexualized in a way that apeases to adults perse, but themes are never explored to their extremes like they exist in reality.

We can't have kids roleplaying as a murderous psychopath that guts his/her victimes and then makes shrines out of them for example. For example, themes like insanity, gore, horror, psychology, masochism, character diversity, facades, hypocrisy and whatnot, are never fleshed out like in trippleA titles. The kind of character development and investment you put into your favorite experiences like Mass Effect, Bioshock, Fallout, etc etc; it cannot happen in this while there are kids with their parents playing this game, along with teenagers and the like.

That, and the fact that the art style oozes with "phantasy" all over the place, which leaves a strange "ugh" taste in one's mouth; "Wow, a champion about actual deathKindred? And what do they do? They hop around shooting sparkly arrows and drawing sigils on the map, uuuuuuugh" "Wow, a champion that exists outside the plain of the game's universeBard ? What does he do? Well he collects tiny thingies that whisper melodies, while humming like a euphonium, and he looks like a bloated potato shac to boot. Oh, he also goes on magical journeys. Uuuuuuuugh".

Sorry for the downvotes though, kids can't handle different opinions.

I agree with Riots move to make their female champions more diverse, like with Sejuani and Kalista, making them less or not sexualized.

But on the flipside taking the sexuality out of Eve, MF, Ahri, Elise ect.. Destroys their character and is against their lore.

Imo, Eve has to be wearing very a revealing atire or it wouldnt make sense.

Transgressor2 votes

I completely agree, but we first have to know who and what Eve is, and then base a revealing getup that actually matches her character.

Leggings that expose the thighs, open cleavage, and chains all over. The artist did a decent job of keeping the semi-domi-nature of her character while toning down the more ham-fisted 'sensual' parts of her design (and keeping the great hair). Maybe a little less gold in the design and move it in a slightly more gothic direction (studs instead of gems and somewhat subdued colour) to keep it more sensual and less circus-y.

EDIT: Just saw the link LightDragoon88 posted, and that's in line with the clothing I'd imagine for her.

I think Evelynn should be League of Legends' Bloodrayne.

(Personal opinion, please no hate :P)

Why though?

Eve's lore basically says that "she's mysterious" and very little beyond that. She's easily one of the most directionless characters in the game and I feel this lack of clarity only opens up possibilities to explore different avenues where she could be "sexy" just as much as she could not be. My personal interpretation is that Evelynn is either a succubus equivalent to the shadow isles, or another malevolent spirit like Kalista, who specifically kills couples - hence her title "Widowmaker". There's a lot of room for interpretation that could guide her towards a more distinct visual design.

i actually really like kindred visually except wolf just being a floating head. it's just her game-play that really feels very very lacking. kindred was my most hype champ since i started playing league and when her kit was announced i was extremely disappointed.[slayer-jinx-unamused]

Looks more like it's just the artist's style. Some people just can't draw "sinister" looking women.

Honestly I think it'd be fine without that awful cape-thing on the back. It just looks so wrong on Evelynn [slayer-jinx-unamused]

Somewhat agree, I prefer her "trail" thing that she wears in "Tango Evelynn" splash/skin.

Honestly, while her boobs are very very nice, I'm more impressed with her butt.

I can understand the need to keep the hair like that.

If Evelynn gets a VU, her voice actress has to stay the same.

VU = visual update

Karma Sion etc got new voices in their Vu's

Vikíng5 votes

Karma was relaunched, completely new kit and VU. Sion was the biggest rework in the game. They aren't just VUs.

GreenLore5 votes

Then what about Tristana Nasus Twitch Heimerdinger etc. All of these champs received a new VO with their VU,but none of them are considered relaunches.

Kaipop1 votes

Exactly. They're referred to as VUs or VGUs by players and rioters but they include new voices as well. So I was telling PePsiLemoNN that it doesn't matter that maelstromer used the term VU.

Riot said they don't want to use user-made content bla bla

Eve hair is my fave in game this is a good concept but when riot does it I hope they at least keep the hair

UtilityPunk1 votes

The outrageous hair is honestly what I think of when I imagine her as a character. It's the biggest part of her character identity right now. I wonder who styled it.

There's only one Eve update I liked but I can't find it for some reason. It was her but her outfil was replaced with like purple-pink crystals. Looked very cool and slightly voidish.

As long as they get rid of her ridiculous platform heels they can fuse her visuals with Velkoz for all I care. I wanted to pick her up with the Tango or Safecracker skin when they were on sale, but I just can't stand looking at her walk in game no matter what skin is up. Kind of like old Heimer's brain bouncing.

NO. That would ruin her.... do you not remember ; "It takes a lot of effort to move like this in heels"

The heels are a big part of her character... as is the insane hair and the risque-clothing. Her theme must not be infringed.

Protoform X1 votes

I should have emphasized the PLATFORM part of my post. Heels--even stilettos--are acceptable as long as she doesn't look ridiculous moving in them.

That's kind of tradition at this point... her ridiculous walk is part of her character.

I want to be honest, for how much identity Evelynn as she could even be reworked into a sexy pineapple tree and i would not complain.

What if they pulled a Bayonetta and gave her magical hair along with the outfit being made of her hair? That could be pretty interesting.

This VU entirely dispenses with any visual reference to the fact that Evelynn is a resident of the Shadow Isles; one that eludes even the other phantoms at that. Evelynn is a murderess, that much is known. Her title is the widowmaker and she dresses in a sultry fashion - is she some kind of LoL equivalent of a shadowy succubus who charms visitors of the isles before killing them? I understand this somewhat echos Ahri's own lore, but similar mythological archetypes have basis in different cultures. There's a lot of room for interpretation and evolution in a future VU and I feel like this art - while pretty - only exasperates the most bland aspects of Eve and dilutes them even further.

I actually like this look. It reminds me of Marquis Vladimir.

jerradwolf1 votes

the artist did a really great job on this. the only thing i would remove is the damn collar. she would look great without it, and it looks a little ridiculous. without it, i could see this being the new VU for eve...or maybe just a skin after the VU. i do agree she needs to maintain her sexualization...she has been the sex/dominatrix character for so long...i would miss it haha

Riot will likely completely change Eve’s appearance when she does finally get an update because she doesn’t have a clear identity right now.

Mirage Night1 votes

As cool at this is, I don't think it addresses some issues with identifying Eve's theme.. This is the place that riot is currently stuck on trying to divine. And to that degree it is missing the elements that I think of when it comes to eve. Bondage influence and shadows.
