Dude liked his own comment 😂 can't knock the hustle though
@@leekleek1 This is pretty standard for sponsor links, or for creator's own comments in general. Nothing funny here
Illegal in the professional scene
Yeah, remember Ryze, that had like 6 reworks and then they just gave up on him and now you see him played like every 1000 games...
He's still pretty popular in high elo
He was OP until RIOT found the perfect way to fix him. Just make champions that are more OP than him, so he looks weak 😂
THE PLAN MUST BE COMPLETED
Remember Fiora? man she was fun. Ravenous Hydra, Statik Shiv and atk speed/ Lifesteal build. Dashing in, using E getting heaps of attack speed and on hit effects, activating Rav, then when the enemy team was grouped you would ult and literally just Yi's Q the whole team and it was so strong and so fun. I remember getting really into her and started loving the top lane. Top was always, trades. Farm, maybe a gank. It's so boring now but old Fiora made it fun, always doing something. i started Season 4, i quit in 2016. i JUST came back. I've played 10 games so far and im liking it again but the formula hasn't changed since i left. it's SO slow and boring in ranked games. Lane phase, poke, farm. maybe a gank, Skirm for objectives and 1 or 2 team fights maybe and then end. the game is now formulaic but i think OG players like myself and others loved the variety the game had. How do you take 150+ champions and make all but 15 unplayable EVERY season. 15 are usually meta and that's it. Not much variety there and then they changed how you lane, fight, push. It' whatever Riot and the Pro League does and says, it trickles down and then Bronze, Silver and Gold follow this formula but they don't have the skills to do that so it's jarring and hard to solo que, Most of the Player base is in these 3 tiers (maybe Plat too) and they don't make changes for the people, they make changes for the pro league. You just deal with it. It's lost that fun magic for me but i am having fun reflecting and seeing the old gameplay. It's great. Now every champion and his cousin has a dodge/dash ability and it was needed but when it wasn't the norm to have it made people ALL in. OG team fights in Pro was hilarious and so baller. nail biting fights. seeing pure synergy and a dope wombo combo was the best. Sorry, rant over lmao
@@jacob96014ur so delusional and silver
crazy how seeing that first eve splash art brought back instant trauma LMAO, that was terrifying to play against
That's not even the original art iirc.
rally/revive Evelynn after the "rework"
@@Arcantropolo 0:45 wasn't part of the game? How there was it in a game clip?
@@ShameOnMeHEHE Yeah that's the original art @ 0:45. I wasn't more speaking about the line up @ 1:45.
I would love a league legends sandbox, that has every item that ever existed, all champions even their pre rework, all the game modes, purely for testing. Like how would old Aatrox work with Current runes and items?
had a feature idea back in the day when they started overhauling champs. It was for a patch slider, where you could select which patch you wanted to queue up for, and it would only match you with other players with that patch selected.
I loved the "original reworked" Evelynn. Not building AP, but a full AD assassin build. It was a super fun way to play her.
Pop out of stealth with W, hit E, and shred the enemy in no time. Especially if you built Trinity Force, to have some up-front damage. I used a build consisting of Trinity Force, Mobi's, IE (back when it had 30% crit chance, as did Trinity Force), Last Whisper, Black Cleaver and the final item was the original Ravenous Hydra. You usually ended up with around 400-450 AD, and enough armor-pen to shred any target - Last Whisper in its original form had 40% armor pen, and Cleaver had 30%. Combined with a high critical hit ratio with the crit dmg boost from IE (which was 250% back then), you could easily one-shot squishy targets with this build.
Run in, kill someone, reset cooldown on W, rinse and repeat.
I always ran scaling AD runes, with armor pen and resistances with this setup. I used it a lot when playing jungle back in around Season 4.
And for the record: *I WOULD ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT IF RIOT MADE A RETRO MODE!!!* - Going back to the early seasons, with original champions and 10+ years of game knowledge.. I think it would have been a super-fun and enjoyable experience.
I feel like that would be the most balanced for the current state of league. Whenever i play current evelyn i find her design more frustrating to use than any other champ.
You played my favorite build! Nice!
Yes! AD Evelynn melts everyone. Haha
Also, the ult made zero sense but I loved it anyway.
Man I remember there was a game mode where you pick for your opponent, the mode made me a main Skarner and Zac I loved it so much
Yes! That’s the gamemode that started my love for pre-rework Eve. Champ was so strong and I’d never seen a single person use her before that
Ohhhh. Nemesis Draft. I remember that one.
The gamemode where you will ban a lot of supports in the draft phase 😆
@@julsegs Duuude. Supports were awesome back then
Jokes on the enemy team, I actually mained the old Urgot.
Which I got to play a lot in the Nemesis draft mode :D
league of legends is so old now, there are full-length documentaries for it's history.
man, i feel old now.
the evelynn we have rn is terrifying when played right, not so much when not and doesn't feel stupidly unfair like she used to
I'ma be real i despise the current Evelynn, mostly because I literally almost never see her and when i do see her, she ints. It seems like she just doesn't do ANY damage before having level 6 and a complete item while being one of the squishiest champs in the game.
Member when we used to be able to watch high ELO players games in the leaderboards screen? Good times, good times.
I was really frustrated with YT for not recommending me more videos of your channel. Then I understood why, there are only 6 of them...
Keep up the great work. Subscribed!
I went through the exact same process lol
algo be like : we'd like to show you more but you've seen it all already.
all i want to see is a All For One with 10 season 1 evelynns with the sunfire cape builds
I will never forget 5 sunfire capes build 🥲🥲
@@miorioff LOL omg I didn't realize anyone else tried that shit. Would run that and just stun scrubs to feed to my cho'gath.
Used to run a full AD build on old Eve. Auto-attack city. Mid-combat I would hit the stealth, and with the enemy hitting me, it would take a second or two to go off, then next auto would stun my enemy. Would raze people one-on-one even without sneaking up. And I got that first skin of hers like right off the bat, the black one. Loved it.
Sunfire Eve was very normie build back in the day, the real chads realized that Shaco could stack up sunfires and run down with his clone dealing 480 dmg/s, as his clone applied sunfire dmg too. :D
EDIT: I stopped the vid before it was mentioned, happy to see someone mentioning this, I thought it was forgotten by players
Remenber that riot reworked Mundo to make him less powerful
Never forget what they took from you
Shoutout to Rammus and Yuumi too
Yummi didn't change and mundo become a good champion
@@german-1880 mundo lost his identity and just became some basic tank that's just kinda tanky sometimes
@@german-1880 Yuumi lost invuln iirc.
What i hate the most about the "Newest Evelynn" is her insanly 1 dimensional play - build the same 100% of the time and play the same 100% of the time. Scaling, AP only.
Rework 1 Evelynn had like AP AD HP Scaling, OG Evelynn could be played as u liked and now there is like anyone being able to variant playstyles but evelynn
every champions are so min max'd nowadays it's so boring
because she is supposed to be a steel assassin who go in and out not a bruiser or tank
@@theskywalker8416 says who? Riot? We want to play our champions the way we want to play them. We dont want to be supervised, we want to experiment a little. If you want to stack attack speed and lifesteal, or tank instead of pure ap, you should be able to, while knowing all it takes is an exhaust, stun, or an item to shut you down if you make a single mistake
@@MootPotato Who says you can't? You definitely can do that, it just obviously won't be optimal. What you're describing is an issue with the vast majority of champs in the game. There are very few that actually have much wiggle room with their builds, and even those that do are usually just changing 1-2 items out for tank shred and grievous wounds.
Having scalings all over the place isn't good for the game and has a tendency to make balance nightmares show up. Evelynn doesn't need random AD/HP ratios. They're pointless traps and run completely counter to her identity anyway.
@@theskywalker8416 You could 100% play Evelynn Rework 1 as an assassin and not a diver. People just opted for diver because tankier builds are stronger for any champion that builds them 90% of the time. I played Evelynn Rework 1 almost exclusively before her rework with an AD lethality build combined with Trinity Force. Once you got Trinity Force and Duskblade, you would be able to one shot squishies quite well. It was really feast or famine though because of the prices of both items. Now, because Evelynn PURELY scales off of AP, I can't do that, and the on-hit part of her E is almost useless, compared to before. I also have to say, the ONLY people who like Evelynn now, likely never liked her before, and only picked her up because of her VISUAL rework bringing even more sex appeal than the original. That was literally all I heard from people when she was reworked. I can't imagine anyone finding this version fun to play compared to before.
2:18 the footage of hatespike playing in the background is of the second version, not the one the video's talking about. The first version's hatespike is a single tiny cylinder that shows up underneath each of the 2 targets, pointing straight up, as seen in many of the other gameplay fotage shown in this video.
And back then the E did physical damage despite the AP scaling. It only turned into magic damage on the version that the AP ratio went down.
24:40 deathfire back at the time was an item with a skull icon built out of kage's lucky pick, and the active did % current hp damage that scaled wtih AP but doesn't amplify damage. It was one of the most underused item at that time, and wasn't a problem with version 1 evelyn. The icon shown in this video is of the reworked DFG, whose rework happened after eve's rework.
Was looking for someone to mention the original Q lol
As someone who's played league since season 1, your videos are a great walk down memory lane. You cover a lot of stuff I didn't even know or had completely forgot about.
LOVE the longer form content my man. Stellar video, and would love to see more like this, and especially this length
Original Eve was actually completely overpowered. I had a 100% winrate with her with a buddy who went cho'gath bottom. As soon as he hit six, I would stun and he'd rupture an enemy laner and eat them with his ult. We would continue that combo for the rest of the game until they had lane-wide cho'gath walking up mid at the 18 minute mark. I would be serving up so many champs to my true-damage-chomping homie. It literally didn't matter what my build was, I was basically just and un-dodgeable stun and armor-shred for cho'gath so I would do stupid things like stacking sunfire capes so they did like 100 damage per tick and then just stand on a guy and watch him run around in confusion as he burned to death.
I miss the AD scaling on Eve. R.I.P my AD/Tank Hybrid Evelynn that carried me through ranked.
I think Tassadar from Heroes of the Storm recieved one of best reworks, his role was changed into mage dps from support yet all of his identity preserved he even can have all of his old abilities trough tallent system.
From a players who started at the end of S2 and continued around S8/9, Evelynn has been one of my favorite champs to play. While I didn't witness the first edition of Eve and what she was able to do. I really enjoyed playing her second phase, it was interesting but I will say her current state is perfect for what their vision for her was suppose to be. Also I really miss how close Riot was with their community, it was such a good memorable time that made the game feel so much more personal.
In my 30s now and it’s cool watching these videos, really brings me back.
It’s awesome hearing about old and new league in one video. Make more videos bro I love em
Please make longer videos like this! I’m a taric main…. Would love to see a video on him!
My fondest memory of old taric was soloing a turret, getting ganked by yi, turning around and beating him 1v1 all while taking tower shots lol
I started playing in 2014, patch 4.1. This was the 2nd version of Evelynn (the ult that gave her a shield). After maybe 6 months of playing, I had begun watching Nightblue3 who played quite a bit of Evelynn. I learned from watching him, and I ended up getting a 17 game winstreak with Evelynn. It was insane, I've never had anything like that since, and I'm kind of sad that I'll never get to play that version of her again
Back in 2011 LoL got monsters: Irelia with her passive that gives a percentage of armor depending of how many enemies are against you, Trundle true Damage bite that scale with AD, Olaf True damage critical once you have IE and my favorite Evelyn Q spam.
This game was wild when it came out
IMO, the complicated thing about completely removing some champs from the game by reworking them, is that some were interesting champs with complete unique gameplay (Eve, Aatrox, Galio, Asol, Urgot) but some were just had completely degenerate playstyle and were toxic for the game (Yorick, Akali, First Ryze, Pre nerf urgot, pre nerf Evelynn, Poppy) while others were just... plain bad and boring (Mord, Sion) or had other champions who were basically "This champ but so much better" (Fiora, Aatrox). And trying to comb through which deserved to stay to some extent or simply be reajusted and others who were useless or toxic to the game is... a hard task and a half ! As much as I wish we still had old Urgot, Eve, Galio and Aatrox, I don't need old Irelia (not that I want the current one), old Fiora (same thing), First Ryze, old Yorick, old Sion, boring old Maokai... Some of those champs are missed because they were unique but other are missed by virtually no one but the one that are missed were deleted for a good reason. I guess a sandbox mode would definitely be super fun but outside of that, for the few cool concept that have been deleted, I'll take the ones that were remade and updated for the better !
I would probably shed tears of joy if I could play akali's version with a blink in her W again.
Lmao didn't expect to see my clips here. Cool video btw.
I really appreciate the amount of work put into this and I'd love to see more stuff like this. I love the types of videos that go into such depth
Just found the Channel and have binge watched everything. It's a new channel it seems but the content you upload is amazing and really fun to watch. As a veteran of LOL starting in about Season 4, i love looking back at old clips and seeing and hearing about the champions at the time and how broken or useless they were. So many people today would have no idea how FUN this game actually was before it was practically turned into the most toxic dumpster fire of a game that focused purely on ELO and the same 15 champs played because it's the meta for that season and there is no flexibility really and you used to be able to play so many champions and builds and it was fun and wild. I saw how the popular it became the more toxic it got and i ended up quitting (came back last week) in about 2016 because i noticed that changes to champions were purely for high elo players and professional League of Legends. The changes they made were based on the Pro games and champions THEY all played. it had a trickle down effect so even bronze were playing champions the pro players used and MOSTLY none of them could play the champion effectively. Easy to learn, Hard to master. Even Pro LOL is a bore to watch nowadays, Old professional LOL was way more action packed and fun. Now it's about your laning phase and CS and a few Skirmishes for objectives and maybe a team fight. They MADE the game boring. This is the standard was to play now. the fun of LOL was the variability of all these champions and different playstyles and synergy you could find randomly. Either way i feel doesn't matter the game is massive and will never not be. Glad it got the attention it deserves as they do work hard but again, i just feel they make changes based on higher ELO and Pro players and the thing is, majority of people are in Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum. So most are forced to play a certain way. Rank used to be FUN and you could be serious as a player and rank up while at it. Now its not at all about fun, it's about ELO and i just think the magic the game provided originally is dead and Riot killed it.
Second Evelyn is the one I knew when I started playing the game.
It was some of the most fun I've had with a champ in the game, and I greatly miss this particular kit.
Evelyn today just doesn't appeal to me the same way, her kit is designed for short trades, where before you would just be running around killing people by spamming Q over 300m. ♥
i hate her new kit, the q wants you to spam but throws a skillshot every so often that you will sometimes miss when you' have to move your camera, and her w and e feel so underwhelming to me
@@MootPotato god yes I hate her Q, I played her so many times since the rework but I never got used to it.
I'm still grieving over the mini tahm rework, cannot imagine losing your champ twice. Sorry evebros...
Would absolutely like more content like this.
I have to say, back in the earlier dayse there where a lot of people like me who didn't buy runes because way buy runes when you can buy champions. And in season 1 if you dont have runes jungler is even harder pretty much making it so that only the dedicated jungler and some odd bools can jungle witch typically dedicated junglers where not really flexible characters. In that game 2 - 1 - 2 was a lot more prevalent. And the think about people not buying words because they where bad and not really considering ganking, no people alwayse consider ganking the differance is that if you play against a 2 - 1- 2, you can alwayse look at the minimap and see where the enemy is( He the guy in the middle is missing stay a little back).
I remember playing 1 champion solely back in 2009 because I wanted a full T3 runepage I just stuck with one champion I had bought and occasionally would play the free rotation of the week I did that all the way to 30 and around lvl 26 or so I had enough blue essence to fill out a page, good times.
I am eating frozen cold Maccas chips but i dont care about it because myth uploaded
Do you mean McDick’s fries?
Thanks for this video, I have to also mention that Evelynn birthday was this month, from a an evelynn main, I appreciate you!
Man this was a nostalgia injection.
remember the microwave.
When I began playing lux sona leblanc swain and renekton were new.
I remember first deciding I was a main leblanc because of broken she was, the silence was insane and it took years for me accept it being removed. Really dug her deceiver/outplay style tho I never really had the mechanics to pop off like young uns do nowadays.
miss the old karma
Latest massacre was my favorite cosmic dragon, miss those orbiting stara
boots and 5 capes was sick
i love your content man ! looking forward for more jungle guides
this is so validating. I was learning her in diver kit and climbing and then they rip her from me and give me her now and I just never have been good at assassin.
Old league was so much better.
So many hilarious ways to play the game.
I just remember the day I logged in and suddenly her E didn't stun anymore, she went from nuts to absolutely useless
i wept. RIP my 100% win rate
i remember one of my first experiences with league was accidentally picking Evelyn because she was hot. this was around the time of A-sols release she was considered weak by nearly everyone i knew at the time and i almost immediately got flamed. i was told at least to jungle with her wich made her the first time i ever jungled in the game. eventually while playing the game i got better on jungle and found a group to play with. (very toxic players) they basically told me i was useless in all roles and they didnt want me to support anymore because i always lost the lane for the adc. i got put into the jungle role then. and thats when i began picking evelyn out of spite. i never heard the end of the shit talk for it. but rather than trolling i played as safe as possible using her invis to run away from everything i could while farming. i had no idea what i was doing for a while but as i got more and more comfortable with her i started doing really weird builds. (at the time some of them were starting to be used in pro play wich i simply didnt know about). i started running around with zzrot omnwrecker and banner of defiance to win games with nearly no champion damage dealt. i built talky so i wouldnt be killed ever because teammates would flame me if i ever died. and eventually i decided i wanted to "troll" by building ap. it lead too the single most ridiculous game i was ever a part of. i had 2 penta kills and 63 kills. my team had been fairly behind and this was at a time when people would often times chase for kills rather than end more often than they do now. that was the game where my group finally saw me as a valuable member and not as awful as they originally thought. it didnt change the toxicity towards me though and just made things worse as they expected me to get 30+ kills every game from then on while keeping deaths as close to non existent as possible. needless to say i dont know them anymore and i dont play league much these days but at the very least. ill always look at old shitty Evelyn fondly (even if i never played the worst version).
2nd version mid lane with DFG + Lich Bane was one of my favorites playstyles. Even after her ult was changed to Current HP, it was still possible to play her as an assassin, which was very effective at both picking people from sidelanes and teamfighting
I remember when i played Evelyn when she got super nerfed everyone on my team though i was trolling. Ended the game winning with 14/6/10
Brother got that photographic memory
Just came here to cry and remember the good old days
To be honest I am disliking how riot reworks champions completely. If they plan to create all new skills for a champion, just create a brand new champion and create new lore instead. It seems like they would rather change the abilities then come up with a whole new design and lore for a new champ :/
They need a rework for a reason sometimes. Why would they create a new champ that's based on them with different abilities and basically make them irrelevant and having them buff them hard and make them also broken.
Ex Sona and Seraphine.
It should've been a Sona rework but no they had to get another egirl champ
My personal removed champion was Hydra Fiora. It was fun to see a team baiting you in the bushes, sitting on a ward, press R and get quadra.
the old katarina
The issue with keeping multiple versions of her would be that you’d still need to rework the old version to remove any superficial similarities it may have with the new one. Like realistically, Diver Eve would need a whole new passive if she were to exist in the same game as assassin Eve. It would be silly to have 2 champs with the perma stealth gimmick and stealth would fit way better on the assassin version.
I absolutely love the long form content. I have been spam rewatching all your videos since I discovered you the other day. Champion history videos used to be a thing exil did and I was sad when he stopped making htem.
These videos are just as good if not better than Vars' vids.
As a new player who actually first tried the game back in like 2013, I really enjoy seeing things I missed throughout the game's history.
I think its worth noting that she also gets a buff when stealthed. In 2.0 it was mana regen, so she cpuld always engage out of stealth. She basically had no downtime and could freely give her mid laner blue buff.
7:00 oracles was definitely common on supports, but with jungle being such a low econ role and having oracles fundamentally changing how you could path for ganks, it was very very common to buy on junglers as well.
I love the longer formats so much!!! I watch your vids at work so I have hours available to listen :D
Evelynn was one of the first champs I ever played. I started in season two and gained love for it about the time her first rework. But currently her live version is my favorite and legit one of my favorite champions ever. I really wish they could find a way to make her a Mid laner. Jungle is my least favorite role and Evelynn is one of my favorites. Sometimes I gotta troll just to play what I want and I hate doing that.
As an Eve main, I appreciate this video GREATLY.
Bring back old poppy with her hammer of one shotting.
Reworked Poppy with a lethality build kind of popped off in some metas, it was never her strongest build but it has been viable and fun a few times before
It's funny how removing one CC from a champion renders them unplayable. Pre-assassin rework, Talon's E teleports him behind enemy champions and silences them. For some reason, they removed the silence and rendered Talon unplayable.
Remember how we had the Chinese splasharts because the older ones sucked? Eve's was ridiculously seductive even for her current standards.
One of my earliest League memories is going into the files and manually replacing the awful early splash arts with the Chinese ones. Then a few years later Riot just replaced most of their arts with the Chinese ones anyway lol.
Evelynn was not considered strong before sorakabots smite revive strat, she was mainly considered a troll pick. Even after that the playstyle was nerfed and then considered a gimmick.
Feels very weird to hear she was strong when the consensus wasn't the case back then, too bad forums have been deleted.
Yeah, it’s interesting how sometimes the general consensus is just blatantly wrong or inaccurate.
@@myth-leagueoflegends "why does Mundo do so much damage he's a tank!"
I used to play this game for a long time but some of the people (toxic players) and how riot had to make so many characters to a free game that it was hard to enjoy for casual players imo 😢
I'd love to play old LoL, around the time oldest evelynn was around. I also miss old sion and gangplank, and overall, the simpler times.
The fact that Riot reworked and tweaked this champion so much says a lot how bad they are at balancing. Glad I quit this shit game.
It's crazy hearing people talk about builds I use to play like it's ancient history.
I quit 1 season after dunkey quit
awesome video ^^ glad youtube recommended it, great job!!
The original Eve when she was considered the worst champion was my favorite champion. I could play her and carry most of the time, and I found her kit to be extremely fun with her true stealth mechanics. I pulled off so many amazing and hilarious things that are completely impossible to do now. When they removed her from the game I lost a massive amount of respect for Riot because it's kinda fked up, like giving you a toy or a book, taking it back, then giving you a rock instead, or maybe the package the toy came in so you'll always be reminded you can never play with the toy again.
Speaking of removed champions, my personal pain was Karma's rework. I am of the firm belief that her old kit would work perfectly well in current day league. Even back then it was fine, it just had a learning curve due to being fairly unconventional.
Yeah, her old kit was so good and flexible.
That's what Riot are doing all the time. They don't like idea of having "niche" champions in game that require time and effort to optimize it's kit. They changed course of game design from "160+ champs for different situations" to "single champion kit to fit 160+ situations". That's what happened to my beloved old Xerath. I really loved the idea of having an additional damage and range on my W for the downside of being static. Now he's simplified way too much where he feels like a different champion personally for me.
Her kit was kind of flawed tho, she had shit range for support which made it difficult for het to compete with other supports and more problems tbh. Not going to lei I do miss playing top karma lol.
My first account got banned for playing eve. I was so new to the game and i did not look up things about it on the internet. apparently I just got reported too many times lol
league's reporting system was so trash and backlogged that they outsourced it to the community, who basically just banned everyone if you got reported, but it was still super backlogged so you'd get banned like 6 months later after you've probably already reformed and get confused. then when you went to the forums to appeal, they'd tell you to get cancer and die and then ban you from the forums lmao. it was actually so wild back in the day. i still have my chain of emails with riot support asking why I got banned while the user who told me to get cancer wasn't and if I could be unbanned. They said no and never gave me a reason why I was banned lmao.
i am playing league since 2009 i played all 3 (4 if you count the "ward" as a seperate one). I fell in love with the champ from the start and tbh as you mentioned there were a lot of omega broken stuff in the game like stacking dodge just to name one. However, the nerf to the stun was fairly reasonable although it hurt myself and i tried so much until the first rework to make her somehow work, as she was still my favorite champ.
Rework 1 is for me personally the best version of evelynn ever existed and had still this assasine potential but now with a way to teamfight and a pretty clear weakness -> her scaling was awfull. This was totally fine for me and i played her for hours and hours and had never as much fun. Her newest rework simply didnt click for me, although it felt very strong at the beginning, yet i felt lost with her and lost the interesst to play her.
I am very very sad we will never see the Rework 1 Evelynn ever again, as she was totally fine at the time and i had never as much fun playing league afterwards.
Thank you for this trip in the past and spending one more glimpse of what was at the time my most fun way of spending my time.
Wish you all the best cheers..
Legacy servers of early seasons would bring me back to the game since they kept reworking my mains and I got salty with those decisions
Nice to learn the history of one of my favourite champions. I miss being able to build AD on Eve 😢
41:30 just like blizzard did with classic WOW, there are people who would play that.
This longform was fantastic!
And then there's the inverse, where Seraphine SHOULD have been a Sona rework. But Riot chose to make a new champion with effectively the same utility and playstyle that had been overhauled and makes the original nigh obsolete. 😂
Eve and twitch were not even op before they were intentionally crippled. The issue was it just really unfun for low skill players which is majority, even high skill players found it annoying but not broken.
Any mechanic in games that involves stealth invisibility camping and sniping is hated by most players. Most of us just want to click each other spam buttons or spray into someones chest. Hit n run mechanics are probably the hardest to balance between fun for you and everyone else

I remember when it was a loss, people would sell their items and nonstop buy wards and place them around the base.
Balanced rework 1 eve was my favorite jungler ever. You could viably play her as either an assassin with a dfg and a deathcap or a diving, fight initiating off tank with a rylai's and a liandry's.
Yo I'm new to league n been subbed to u cuz I'm a jgl main but this vid was actually fire cuz I have no perception of old league. Keep it up but keep the jgl tips
40 min myth video, its a good day
i miss the old maokai, i still play a lot of maokai but the old maokai was my first main champion i played a lot and i cant play it anymore, i do remember getting a pentakill with it and being really good with it, i also remember MaRin´s op maokai which made me a huge fan of him since i also played maokai before knowing him. Hopefully we can play old champion designs someday.
I know this isn't about her, but it reminds me, rest in peace old Karma, you'll be missed.
Yeah, I remember building full crit on her first version. Also fun build with tank hydra on second.
bruiser evelyn with trundle and trynd were the champs that i decided to get out of gold 1. i have gotten there with supports only and a friend was teasing me that i couldn't do it without supports, even though they knew that i was playing top, but i simply wanted to be as chill as possible when in ranked.
however evelyn was so annoying and had very good burst and consistent damage. the champion was really fun and could build whatever you wanted. i miss her, but the latest evelyn is fun to me. the all in assassin playstyle is very fun.
If riot gives me back old yorick i swear id be the happiest man alife and never flamme again
Old yorick was broken in many ways but I can't deny that red zombie damage+ healing was amazing
Latest reworks have been stellar, keeping the core identity of the champion while balancing them. I'm not worried they will screw up again, saying this as someone who adored old Aatrox.
Very interesting video! I love to see how league rework the champions into a completly new one and its one of my favorite things in the game until this day
Imagine riot spaghetti code being randomly subjected to a character coded over 10 years ago.
excited for more content like this
It was true that playing Evelynn in ranked season 2 and 3 was a ban-able. I lost an account pre-rework.
I don't really miss the past iterations of Evelynn, because the original version was clearly unfit for the game, and the 1st rework always lacked direction and focus. Was she a tank? An ap assassin? An AD Trinity Force user? She could fill so many different roles on the team and ultimately would've hurt the modern drafting landscape by being such a versatile pick. Furthermore, Riot decided that they didn't want damage dealers to be able to tank towers for days, and I don't think that was a bad decision either. Kha'Zix's ult used to give 50 % damage reduction while in stealth, and this was rightfully removed while Alistar was also nerfed out of the jungle before eventually being chained down firmly as a support following his rework.
The modern Evelynn has a solid kit with the coherent theme that the rework lacked, and without breaking the game like the original. As much as I would like to go back and play League of Legends 10-15 years ago again, there's a lot of things I wouldn't want to bring back because they simply wouldn't fit into the modern game anymore. Eve's past iterations are some of them.
"the champion is either overpowered or underpowered so riot need to delete it"
So basically most champions.
Imo the old 200 year champs we're not as bad as the new 200 year champs. Fuck Riot games and Phreak
rework 1 was by far the best eve to play. I loved her so much. You've had the chance to go full ap and 1shot people out of existence or you went for the bruiser (my favorite) and carried teamfights. A versitile champ that can adapt to the situation.
The second rework is just a hit or miss pick, build full ap and hole the enemy doesn't have too many slows or cc to potentially 1shot someone before dying if you don't have your ult up or you get cced for 1 second. Yes she can 1shot a 6 or 7k hp mundo (a friend of mine still has that replay) but for that you need a perfect setup which will happen maybe once in your lifetime.
"If you play long enough, your favorite champions could be removed from the game."
My Favorite champions have been Evelyn, Akali, and Kayle. It felt bad every time. Careful Jhin and Vayne mains, they're coming for you next.
There is no way they will ever rework Jhin. He is a really well designed champion.
I honestly really miss old Eve (the version before her current iteration), she was by far the most fun champ to play for me. if you were red side, you would start q, take red with the help of your top laner and immediately gank top with e and q and almost always got a flash or a kill. she was honestly more fun and higher tempo the current version of eve. you would walk up ult, w, e, spam q and autos get the kill the use w to run away.
finally someone is talking about her ! I miss her very early invisibilty which made her not completely weak against invade and her more stealth approached to ganking compared to new evelynn having to mark her prey. I miss her old look too, when back then the game looked like a dark fantasy pc game and not a mobile game
I use to run her when she had permanent invisibility and you'd stack Sunfire capes and just stand on people and they burn to death while not being able to see you
Re-works are incredibly expensive. Over time you're more likely to see 10 or more new champions come online before an old champ gets reworked.
Ah the sweet time of 5 Sunfire capes Eve...
