Eve now has a much more sensible kit. Her former kit had too much DPS; when her lore made her to be an assassin (as well as her passive). I suspect she might be abused midlane now though; since

(a) She gets 2 abilities at 6: Camouflage and Ult. Bigger powerspike, perfect time to roam. And she scales well with gold too (dat 195% AP ratio on her Q). So solo lane. And she can only WE to escape a gank pre-6, so she needs the safety of midlane (won't work top).

(b) Waveclear. If the wiki is right and her secondary Qs have 800 range, then 145 (+90% AP) waveclear at 800 range isn't too shabby (its better than what some other assassins have *cough* Fizz *cough* Kassadin *cough* Akali... It will also double as a farming tool against mages (due to 4 hits).

(c) Sustain. Compensate for the fact she's melee. Something most assassins would like; but only Akali gets this; and in a much weaker form.

I'd categorize her as a survival/ranged hybrid assassin (Ranged: Leblanc/Zed; Survival: Kass/Fizz/Ekko) with powerful ganks post-6. I still think she's better in jungle, because a jungler can abuse camouflage best and bypass the weakness of her W delay to better; but she might be a great counterpick to defensive mages like Lux/Ori because pre-6 she'll farm safely with passive sustain and Q (and negate their poke); and post-6 she roams and they can't follow or push without vision. Depends on her numbers though; dunno how her burst compares to other assassins, but even if its a bit low; it should be compensated by her passive and W (hard CC on an assassin); and the survivality her passive and Ult give; comparable to the likes of Fizz and Ekko.
