Tanky wasn't the main reason her bases got nerfed, though. Eve as a bruiser/tank is more or less fine, if thematically inappropriate. The issue was that her bases were strong enough to give her massive early game kill and aggression potential, to the point where it was blocking out nearly every other alternative jungler option. Eve is/was one of the "holy trinity" of junglers, along with and, all of whom are dominant due to their super-aggressive early game, and all of whom got nerfed with the hope that it'll allow other junglers to thrive just as well.
