It sounds okay, but it really doesn't work well. I played against a number of mid Eve's through the PBE cycle, and they all lost lane quite handedly. Compared to old Eve laning, she has lost a lot: Less base stats and stat growth. She no longer has camo at level 1-5 to survive early game better, which is a pure downgrade. She no longer has build-in mana sustain, but now has built in life sustain. She has much lower ratio on Q, and lower overall DPS, but better range and better inital bursts. The burst only matters if she kills the enemy in less than about 3-4 seconds, else her old Q does more burst regardless. Lower overall waveclear. Her E has much lower overall single target damage/AP scaling unless the enemy has rather high health (about 3500+ HP unempowered) (about 2500+ HP Empowered). She also doesn't double-proc on-hit effects twice with the new E, which can further lower it's damage compared to the old E. Her new R is hard to directly compare to her old R as they are such significantly different abilities. But it's definitely better for assassination/picking off targets play, and worse for flanking/initiation play.
