Feels like assassins aren't as effective in this patch as well as assassins I like such as Zed, Kha, and Ahri got nerfed :S meanwhile all the old top laners I played like Jax are back in style. What a mysterious patch. That and the map feels dark as shit at some points in the game. Finally: holy hell Trin force Lucian is monstrous. Any else feel like assassins just don't feel as effective in this patch (I may just suck).? | ||

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. I take ignite on Eve, and her gap closer is extremely effective. Really, whose CC at top is going to stop Evelynn that early? Hardly any top laners have hard CC at level 2. | ||

I agree. I don't even think that most stealth champs are that strong (because Riot has mostly realized how strong stealth is and just destroyed their base stats/damages) but nothing was more annoying than than an all for 1 vs. 5x Wukong. Its so lame. | ||

I would also buy pinks against Shacos. If I were mid, I would sometimes put a pink in the middle of the lane. This is actually the biggest change to me. I can't carry around a couple pinks and use one against a vayne ult or a twitch. Those previously counter able skills feel pretty helpless to deal with, and it makes all the characters with a stealth mechanic significantly stronger, not just Eve. | ||

I don't even know what the vision range is, if there were at least an indicator it would be nice. The ward being visible is enough, let it please have the same goddamn sight range it always has - it's way too short now. As for vs. evelynn, previously you'd just replace all [well, "most" if you're getting technical] of your green wards with pinks. That obviously is a flawed plan now. | ||

This is the primary reason. Since pinks are essentially the 'only' anti-stealth/anti-ward and the trinket has a prohibitive cool down, not being able to have more than one on you when leaving the base is pretty obnoxious. And you can't say preemptively pink a bot-lane bush to catch a twitch unawares etc. The new pink wards 'best' use now is to try and sneak a semi-permanent ward over your jungle entrance or the like. | ||
