Ezreal with nearly 1 million games in the past month, and yet Riot can't really do anything to him to change that without making him a completely different champion...

Eve is a terrible champion. Stealth is one of the worst mechanics introduced to any multiplayer game, ever.

Newest PBE changes
Minor update to said changes
There's hitting her with the nerf bat, fine she needed it.
But beating her to a bloody pulp? Her ultimate range is down to 650 from 800, and the cooldown is way up. Also her Hate Spike ( Q ) mana cost increased to 16/22/28/34/40 from 14/18/22/26/30.
Man. Hope they don't break too many of her limbs so I can at least crawl around the jungle. Though her stealth will still be the best side of her and hopefully she will still be viable.

In my past month of spamming solo queue and 5s, at no moment have I thought wow ADCs are really weak right now. I have thought that "assassins" like khazix/elise are a bit broken. Riven can also be a bit overpowered, as with eve, rest are w/e. I'd still take ezreal first pick in 5s over any of those champions.

Assassins are also a lot more stronger in solo queue than in 5s, where you'll find early snowball situations much less likely. In solo queue say one team has xin jungle/khazix mid/elise top, and the other has something like mundo/ahri/shen, one mistake by the latter team during pre lv6 lane phase will most likely cost them the game, whereas even if someone like ahri/shen get fb they have no way of snowballing it.

I think Kha and also Elise to some extent do stupid amounts of damage with almost no items. So no matter how early game goes, they are always a threat.


Elise is a horrible example - Elise is one of the champions in the game that suffers the most from being behind, but on the other hand she's also THE biggest lane bully.


Even if she does suffer from being behind (and I'm not sure I buy that), it doesn't change the fact that her damage is extremely high with little itemization, hence her use as a support in Korea currently.


The fact that she can be played support just means she doesn't need a lot of items to be useful, but the thing is that if you fall behind with Elise all you have is essentially your ranged form since if you go melee without any tankiness you'll just die and you also won't have much bonus AP so you don't deal comparable damage to the opposing Irelia/Jax/Riven/w.e.

Edit: What I'm saying is that when compared to the fotm of top laners taking a second support role when you're behind is generally worse than how other top laners can perform when behind.
The thing with Elise is that if you play her smart you will barely ever fall behind. I honestly believe she doesn't lose a single matchup both top and mid (and wins most of them).


How is elise worse off with a disadvantage in lane than a normal top? She has fine stats and gets free armor and MR plus a ranged attack if she feels like it, sustain, and is a nightmare to dive. She last hits under tower excellently with free magic damage too and has free skills to help. I don't even understand your argument. How is it a disadvantage to have free stats and a ranged attack when you are behind? And i'm not even getting into her percent health damage.

You say "the thing is that if you fall behind with Elise all you have is essentially your ranged form since if you go melee without any tankiness you'll just die", well great, if you are so far behind you can't fight the other laner you just have to sit back and CS and ranged harass. How is that worse than being like darius or jarvan when you are behind? They can't go toe to toe and they cant CS without walking up and being beaten on, they have straight up less options.

Yeah, I find Eve much more enjoyable to play in the jungle, just for the feeling of it. Sadly she's stronger mid so they have to calibrate for that.

Regarding Ezreal he isn't too strong, really, don't forget that the community is fickle with a shit ton of inertia.
And almost back to 50% W/L, playing in the early-middle afternoon so much better than on the week-end for my nerves and opinion of the community. Having botched my placements will only put me at 1250 if I win the next one for 9-9, but it's 'k, you gotta climb anyway and I still do some dumbass throws sometimes so it'll teach me if even there I make my team lose.

If they want to nerf ezreal they just tack on like a second or two to arcane shift cd. Boom, done.

they made Eve even worse by allowing her to perma stealth, which means no cleverly placed wards picking up a gank.
Plus, since they "nerfed" her stealth, they made her more combat viable.



So of course they need to nerf the crap out of her now.

I usually don't want to be overdramatic about changes, but that Flask nerf will almost single-handedly destroy the 0/9/21 mastery setup for junglers. Dunno about others, but the main point of it was getting machete+flask at lvl1 (was only possible on things like Fiddle/Nunu but still.

Also, I really enjoy the new Assasin meta, because Rammus is awesome against assasins. Both the AP ones like Kat and the physical ones like Talon or even Kha'Zix.
ALSO the awesome thing about Rammus is the Skarner ultimate 2.0. You can taunt as enemy is flashing and after they flash they'll just run back at you. Whenever that happens I write in all chat

Whats funny is that riot with their "anti-fun/fun" philosophy continues to try to implement stealth, like the most brutally binary "anti-fun" mechanic you can imagine, into the game.

its fine if they gut eve. but only if they also gut amumu, elise, ezrael, kha'zix, katarina, lee sin(they are), lulu, nidalee, nunu, shaco, singed, taric, twisted fate, and zyra.

Whats up with them just picking 1 champion specifically every patch and ruining them? Don't see how that does anything for the game

It would actually be amazing to just have a group that every once in a while puts out an article about some ridiculous build/strat every once in a while. Esp. if it actually works.

Eve is fucking annoying, and if she gets nerfed to the ground and not played again, ever, i won't shed a single tear.

I like the flask change. It still pays itself off on the first refill (at 6 potion charges rather than 4, though) but you have to commit a lot more if you want to open with it. Probably still a viable opening for some but definitely nerfed, might be a first pickup for others.

Last I heard the flask change was to ACTUALLY cost 345. Currently appears bugged.

I still think the 2ward 9pot openings are 'too good' and this might be partially because there aren't a lot of good level 1 items besides boots, and boots are less necessary now. Cloth is a good starting item but obviously situational. I could see a pink start top lane countering pots ward, clearing out their starting ward so they can be ganked.
