Riot, you know you messed up. And that's okay. There is a way to fix everything.

Paging u/reav3 and please someone page Novais, I can't find their username.

Disclaimer: I'm probably going to be a little rude (not towards Riot, just some profanity) and have some grammar and spelling mistakes. It's late and I'm tired.

Like I said in the title, it's clear you messed up. Nevermind that, let's not beat a dead horse. Forget the whining on the subrredit, because while they're right, they aren't contributing to anything (unless they're actually giving alternatives). Focus on buffing Evelynn.

Evelynn has a lot of problems and I'll try to give an alternative/buff to it. If every suggestion was put together it would be extremely overpowered, so take that with a grain of salt and try to see a combination that fits.

Demon Shade:

• At it's current form it's mostly useless. It's a tank/bruiser ability on an assassin. This is bad.

• I saw this on the subreddit and loved it: give Evelynn scaling movement speed per level, in or out of combat. This would be super useful overall.

• You guys should change it to something else; I'd even take a look on Evelynn's original passive, Determined Killer, and make her take reduced damage from minions and monsters. This would make early clears even more healthy (let's be honest: a good Evelynn gets out of the jungle with 80%+ of her HP) and with the upside of tanking Baron and Dragon.

• Perhaps make the stealth be there from level one once again?

Hate Spike:

• Her Q range fucking sucks, especially with that big detection circle. Either the detection range goes down, or the Q range goes up. I'd be fine with either.

• Make Q ignore minions in targets afflicted with Allure, only being blockable by other champions. This would make easier to gank lanes but harder to proc Allure on teamfights, skirmishes or botlane.

• This is something that should have been on release day, but damn make her triple Q focus the target with the first Q mark, or the target with less HP, or the target Evelynn is attacking. The missile AI is so confusing and illogical.

• AD Ratios anyone? I've already understood that Evelynn is a mage now but since you guys are doing that with her E...

Allure

I'm going to be honest: I don't know what to do much with this ability, I only have one idea. Let's just say that making an assassin wait to kill somebody is already dumb enough, and bad and unfun design, making it unable to attack is even more horrible. At least LeBlanc can use her skills when the chains are cooking.

• Take the slow out of W altogether and make it scale with time on Magic Resist shred and charm duration when it's cooking. If I use W on a target and attack it immediately, 10% of MR is shredded and charm is 0.5 seconds; if I wait 1 second, 20% and 1.5 seconds; 2 seconds means 30% MR shred and 2 seconds charm. See that I nerfed the MR shred and and charm duration by 5% and 0.5 respectively in order to balance the ability.

Whiplash:

• Change back the ability's name to Ravage.

• Make the dash have double, perhaps triple the range. An assassin with no mobility is useless. Either that or reduce the stealth detection range.

• I saw this on the subreddit and it's pretty smart: make her E have more range on champions afflicted with Allure. This, along the combination of the Q ignoring minions affected with W, would make Evelynn pretty strong again.

• Change back the ability's name to Ravage.

Last Caress:

It's pretty good right now. Actually, my favorite part of the rework. However...

• The changes on PBE are good. There's only one thing missing: DON'T MAKE ME LOSE DOUBLE KILLS JUST BECAUSE I HAVE TO ULT IN ORDER TO KILL SOMEONE. Ok now that I vented a bit, make her R reactivatable like Zed's W and R, seriously.

• Change the name of the ability to Widowmaker. It only makes sense.

Now that I'm finished writing all of this, I want you guys to take a look and think about the possibilities. I'm sad my favorite champion has changed and there is nothing I can do about it, so I might as well nag the developers with my stupid suggestions so Evelynn can be at least playable once again.

PS: Don't be afraid to make Evelynn broken. After all, you guys buffed Galio. If she's broken, just hotfix her. Nothing out of this world. There's always room for a champion to be perma ban as long as you guys act quickly enough.
