I lied.

With the recent talk of Kassadin, Ryze, and Taric champion updates, IronStylus also answered a question on Evelynn and where her update is currently progressing along:

"Quote: I just want to keep an open dialog with the team in regards to her progression. She has been, in the past, a black sheep and kind of feels ignored. I remember that there was a primary artist that was assigned to her. Longwingy I think. Anyways, any update would be appreciated"

"Currently she's not. We had a few update concepts back in the day but she just doesn't have any sort of story direction or explanation of what the hell she is. Until we hammer that out we probably won't be doing anything with her until then. I think there's some good ideas in the Shadow Isles ideas, and heck, I could see her playing into the Darkin thing if we ever build that out. There's a lot of options, so that's good. She's wide open in terms of actually making a character out of."

Even Rito doesn't know what Evelynn is

This isn't news, it's been made apparent and has been discussed about between us and Riot for a good long while now. She's kinda...not really anything right now and has been that way for a long time, which has only worsened as the world has grown more established around her.

Nothing new here,that was the big problem with evelynn,almost everyone in Lol has some kind of unique identity,like Azir is the sand-mage/emporer,Gnar is a caveman/hulk-guy

But evelynn is currently just a blue stripper. Sure she has this whole seducing and femme fatal thing,but thats nothing new.

She could be a succubus or a vampire,but that remains to be seen(or rather decided by riot)

We've known that much for years.

Us - How's Yorick coming along?

Riot - We don't have a idea, he is just this random dead gravedigger.

Her kit is her identity. Her moves are her calling card.

She is hate. Evelynn is Wrath in feminine form. Hatred is Evelynn. Evelynn is a hater. She enjoys inflicting pain on those she hates.. Your pain is her pleasure. That is quite definitive for an identity if you ask me. Very befitting of someone who has ties to the Shadow Isle.

These are the ideas that need to be expounded on. The mysterious international woman of shadows. The elusive beast of wrath. The savage banshee from nowhere.

That is plenty of identity while maintaining a mysterious background. There is no love affair no honey moon, no engagement... just corruption and hatred.

Torment = Hecarim Misery = Mordekaiser Betrayal = Elise Revenge = Kalista Corruption = Maokai Wrath = Evelynn Insanity = Thresh Death = Karthus Despair = Yorick

If you look at all of these champions kits, there they all embody something that can be linked with darkness. Wrath or Hate is definately Evelynn

Edit: Yeah some of these might not be exact, as they are left open to interpretation, but you get the idea.
