Yeah I went something like Relic -> upgrade+boots (because fuck Vayne tumbling right after the stun goes out, doesn't last long enough for me to auto-W-auto her) -> ruby sightstone (we got 3 kills+tower+drake off an extended fight, was rich) -> FH. Then Tabi and negatron because Elise and Teemo were hurting. Then the game was over. After completing the FH but before the tabi I had 8s cd on my 40-armour shredding W, what the heck. I thought even with the new passive his cooldowns would be limited a bit, but the factor's actually the move speed to catch valuable targets with W's tiny AoE, and the mana because it drops so fast (granted the heal costs a bunch).
|
That's interesting, because I feel like I don't do nearly as much damage as Elise, even though they haven't touched her damage in a while. I never really used her E to towerdive or anything so the rappel spiderling delay thing didn't really bother me, but I just feel so useless when I could always carry so hard with her from the jungle before.

I laugh at people who whines Eve OP when she does the same thing like in S3. Why do people whine Eve OP at 3 minute gank when she can do the same thing in S3?

Because vision changes make it easier for Eve to gank. Yes, you can still buy pinks, but pinks being always visible means it's inconsequential for Eve to clear the ward then come back in like 10 seconds. Whereas in S3, Eve (or the laner) would have to invest in their own pink ward to counter-ward before ganking, setting them back 100 gold if the gank fails.

I think that Eve is pretty damn snow bally which is the only reason I'm skeptical about her being "OP". We'll know if she's truly OP at the moment pretty soon. Koreans will first pick or ban her quite often if she's truly broken in S4 and then Riot will likely nerf her into oblivion (and then have a second stealth re-work!).

it doesnt even matter to me if people decide shes op or not, shes completely toxic to the game. i know toxic is such an over used word in this game but all stealth mechanics are so binary in nature. to be 'balanced' when stealth has a chance to fail you need to be weak when it fails and strong when it doesnt, so if you dont see her coming, by design you are completely fucked, even in situations where you are strong enough to hold off other junglers, and if you do see her coming or whatever, shes worthless.
they either need to make her stealth unfailable (remove pink wards, remove detection range etc) and then nerf her, or remove her stealth. i dont see any argument you can make for a 'it works most of the time' stealth mechanic being good for the game.

It's your job to hold back and prepare for 3 minute, 5 minutes gank.

Regardless, it's the fact that tracking Eve's position on the map is a lot harder with weaker pinks that's causing people to complain about her.

Even when pinks were invisible noone was pinking vs Eve, top would start flask ward pot/pots bead ward and get raped anyways.
You don't beat Eve by warding lane anyways, you ward her camps and play smart when she clears.

This. I don't remember ever seeing a pink ward bought vs an Eve before and yet now somehow she's more invisible.

But now Evelynn is 100% sure that she isn't getting baited into anything, she can know with perfect certainty that when she is invisible, no1 can see her. I think it's a sizeable buff

I remember seeing my higher level (IE Diamond 1) friends starting out like pink+green over 3 greens as support in Season 3 before. I've also seen mid-laners go back and buy pink wards after pushing opponents out of lane against Eve.
|
i'm assuming that claims about not pinking against eve in season 3 are about (certain levels of) solo queue, because season 3 evelynn completely changed the dynamic of the competitive games she was picked in. twitch/evelynn (including the famous evelynn+shen submarine combo) flank strats were commonly played in the previous season of champions, and the necessary response was to invest heavily into pink warding flanks when moving around the map

The only reason Stealth is "binary" is because every other mechanic in the game is so weak.
If means of initiating ganks from beyond or bypassing vision are the norm, Stealth isn't any worse than the others.

but thats the opposite of the way riot is taking the game. riot dont seem to want situations where you just get fucked, they want the players to have more knowledge and more options. its easier now than ever before to ward up all the relevant paths around the map, so that leaves flashes, teleports and wall jumps and most of those are either massive investments with a clear trade off (even in a successful gank) or you can deal with the jumping/teleporting too.
riot love to spout words like counterplay but evelynn ganks have none, she can not only reasonably get behind you every time, but she can know 100% when shes been detected. theres no power in your hands, only hers.

In season 3, Eve's 3 minute ganks were incredibly strong. Unless my top laner pushed like crazy, I'd at the very last get a flash + tons of damage top 90% of the time.

Only if Eve takes smite/exhaust or if the top laner has built in cc. Eve pre-6 has literally no cc to speak of outside of red buff, which isn't exactly the easiest to apply considering her gap-closer isn't amazing either.

My friends and I would constantly complain how poor we are as supports against an Eve. I would also buy pinks against Shacos.
If I were mid, I would sometimes put a pink in the middle of the lane.
