User blog comment:Willbachbakal/(Champion Rework) Evelynn, the Widowmaker/@comment-26815373-20160416195844

I really like a lot of this stuff, but some things make me hesitant.

Her Q, W, and E, are all cool, though I'm not sure what sense Q makes thematically (she causes a 'black tear' in reality?)

What's interesting though, is this Passive and Ulti, and the implications them (and of your iteration of Eve).

1st, her passive. Awesome. It's super cool, it gives her periods of definite strength and weakness, and it still kinda preserves her old passive stealth. My issue with this though, as I said long ago, is that I don't know how to feel about having a day / night cycle implemented on Eve. Personally, I'd like to see SR have the day / night cycle like DotA has (complete with altering vision range on our champions). Giving that to a champion as an ability seems a bit wierd, especially when there are so many other champions who, thematically, would have some ties to whether it was night / day. ( & come to mind...)

Her R though, I think is exactly what Evelynn should have. Hearing the name, 'Dark Embrace' and having her 'hug' a single enemy champion, 'taking them into a shadow realm' where they're alone together, is perfect - both from a thematic point (her succubus / vampire identity) and a gameplay perspective (she is suppose to be an assassin, after all). I think that makes so much more sense than the AoE Damage + Self-Shielding Ultimate she has currently on Live.

Finally, the implications of this rework. I've said elsewhere that I think Riot needs to 'double down' on the stealth crew. What I mean is exactly what your version here of Eve does - she has two abiliites that play with vision, instead of just one. Even if Riot didn't adopt your passive, or your other changes, just having another ability that has a stealth-like effect would make Evelynn so much stronger and thematically more cohesive.

I think think Riot desperately needs to adopt this attitude for the most of the stealth crew, as it really differentiates them from other champs, and emphasize their fantasy. Consider that Shaco has three (3!) abilities that play with vision! And even Teemo could have three if they'd bite the bullet and make his into  like it should be!
