    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

    @@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.

To this day I can't find a champ to main in the top lane(yes I played her top and it was amazing). Riot removing her amazing "jack of all trades master of none" playstyle is really sad. You could build her AP assassin, AD assassin, AP Bruiser, AD Bruiser, and any combination in between. The "lack of identity" issue stated by riot was not really an issue IMO. Her identity was just that, jack of all trades. Truly the most versatile, interesting game to game champion. RIP Evelynn. Bring her back. As a different champion or change back the crap we have now.

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

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.

    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).

    Awesome video man, very comprehensive. I played LoL from 2009-2015 and actually played Evelynn pretty frequently for quite a bit of that time (wouldn't call myself a "main" though tbf) and it was such a fun trip down memory lane watching this. I have less than 0 interest in current League but these kind of historical videos are super cool for old school players like me who want to reminisce about the old days. It feels surreal hearing things like "back then, X item that did this was in the game" (EG DFG, SF cloak) when it was something I still have such vivid memories of, and even defined my experience, haha. It's just a shame watching all the horrible decisions Riot has made over the years. I finally had enough and threw in the towel in 2015, but it's genuinely depressing seeing just how terrible of a state the game is currently in, even after not playing for as many years as I have. I gave Rito something like several grand and thousands of hours of my life. I don't regret it- it was fun at the time after all! But man I'll be damned if it isn't the biggest bummer not having a halfway decent game to come back to.

    My take? First eve was incredibly fun and addictive. The fact that she might be to strong in Pro play never occurred to me, but she did become unplayable at some point. The second Eve was kind of a let down because she just wasn't the same without real stealth. Barely played her the entire time because she just felt so different. Her second remake really did bring back some of the old Eve. It's not quite the same, but I think for new players the new Eve can be just as fun.

    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).
