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

good point - they can barely keep the regular client running
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.

I quit precisely because they reworked my Poppy. Man, old Poppy was such a unit.
As someone who's played league since season 1, your videos are a great walk down memory lane. You cover a lot of stuff I didn't even know or had completely forgot about.
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.

I would probably shed tears of joy if I could play akali's version with a blink in her W again.
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.
What i hate the most about the "Newest Evelynn" is her insanly 1 dimensional play - build the same 100% of the time and play the same 100% of the time. Scaling, AP only. Rework 1 Evelynn had like AP AD HP Scaling, OG Evelynn could be played as u liked and now there is like anyone being able to variant playstyles but evelynn

@@MootPotato Who says you can't? You definitely can do that, it just obviously won't be optimal. What you're describing is an issue with the vast majority of champs in the game. 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. They're pointless traps and run completely counter to her identity anyway.

@@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.
Sunfire Eve was very normie build back in the day, the real chads realized that Shaco could stack up sunfires and run down with his clone dealing 480 dmg/s, as his clone applied sunfire dmg too. :D EDIT: I stopped the vid before it was mentioned, happy to see someone mentioning this, I thought it was forgotten by players

It's funny how removing one CC from a champion renders them unplayable. Pre-assassin rework, Talon's E teleports him behind enemy champions and silences them. For some reason, they removed the silence and rendered Talon unplayable.
Lmao didn't expect to see my clips here. Cool video btw.
I remember playing first rework Eve as support and either doing a quick E+Q poke from bush, before using W to safely get back to safety, or using stealth to roam mid without knowledge of enemy team, basicly making enemy team paranoid and giving two of my team's lanes free farm. This was what made me like playing offmeta supports so much.
It’s awesome hearing about old and new league in one video. Make more videos bro I love em
I loved rework 1 Evelynn. Riot removing her and turning her into this one dimensional "burst and kill enemy or just die" champion is what made me lose my love toward league. 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.
I think Tassadar from Heroes of the Storm recieved one of best reworks, his role was changed into mage dps from support yet all of his identity preserved he even can have all of his old abilities trough tallent system.
i love your content man ! looking forward for more jungle guides
I started playing in 2014, patch 4.1. This was the 2nd version of Evelynn (the ult that gave her a shield). After maybe 6 months of playing, I had begun watching Nightblue3 who played quite a bit of Evelynn. I learned from watching him, and I ended up getting a 17 game winstreak with Evelynn. It was insane, I've never had anything like that since, and I'm kind of sad that I'll never get to play that version of her again

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.

this is so validating. I was learning her in diver kit and climbing and then they rip her from me and give me her now and I just never have been good at assassin.
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 !

7:00 oracles was definitely common on supports, but with jungle being such a low econ role and having oracles fundamentally changing how you could path for ganks, it was very very common to buy on junglers as well.
Would absolutely like more content like this.
I absolutely love the long form content. I have been spam rewatching all your videos since I discovered you the other day. Champion history videos used to be a thing exil did and I was sad when he stopped making htem.
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.
Considering how insanely popular the SC1 vs SC2 mod has been, I think LoL players would absolutely enjoy a game mode where you can play old and new versions of the same character at the same time
I love the longer formats so much!!! I watch your vids at work so I have hours available to listen :D Evelynn was one of the first champs I ever played. I started in season two and gained love for it about the time her first rework. But currently her live version is my favorite and legit one of my favorite champions ever. 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.

40:27 Man, I want to play old Urgot so bad sometimes. That R>E>Q>AA>Q>AA>Q>W>AA was so satisfying to pull off, as well as just poking lane with E+Q+Q+Q.
I perfectly remember how OP she was in the beta and one of the few counter play to her invisibility (and Twitch's one) was Soraka's old Q (that was only usable if someone was nearby). The spell would light up when she was near. I also remember people calling you a troll if you picked her. Great times

What I was commenting for though was I'm really enjoying learning about the history of the community and game, since most of my friends did actually experience this and it's genuinely interesting to me. Please keep it up! Both the videos about the players and the champions are fine, though I would like it if they were separated into categories once they increase in volume if you continue this for awhile
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).

I remember playing 1 champion solely back in 2009 because I wanted a full T3 runepage I just stuck with one champion I had bought and occasionally would play the free rotation of the week I did that all the way to 30 and around lvl 26 or so I had enough blue essence to fill out a page, good times.
my first real match with players instead of bots was with evelyn. I had like, 2-3 champions at max, I think it was veigar, tristana and evelyn and those free rotation champions back when nocturne was released. I stomped that game and some dude asked me if I was a smurfing and I didnt even knew what a smurf was. My only memory of league was that first game. I stopped playing since 2012.

you're a rare one that got out with your sanity, i respect it.
bruiser evelyn with trundle and trynd were the champs that i decided to get out of gold 1. i have gotten there with supports only and a friend was teasing me that i couldn't do it without supports, even though they knew that i was playing top, but i simply wanted to be as chill as possible when in ranked. however evelyn was so annoying and had very good burst and consistent damage. the champion was really fun and could build whatever you wanted. i miss her, but the latest evelyn is fun to me. the all in assassin playstyle is very fun.
Second Evelyn is the one I knew when I started playing the game. It was some of the most fun I've had with a champ in the game, and I greatly miss this particular kit. Evelyn today just doesn't appeal to me the same way, her kit is designed for short trades, where before you would just be running around killing people by spamming Q over 300m. ♥

41:30 just like blizzard did with classic WOW, there are people who would play that.
Balanced rework 1 eve was my favorite jungler ever. You could viably play her as either an assassin with a dfg and a deathcap or a diving, fight initiating off tank with a rylai's and a liandry's.
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.
Nice to learn the history of one of my favourite champions. I miss being able to build AD on Eve 😢

AD Eve, especially the first version, was really fun
It's kinda strange that Twitch wasn't as notorious for stacking sunfire capes aswell since his invis was identical in length to Eve's
boots and 5 capes was sick
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 miss the old maokai, i still play a lot of maokai but the old maokai was my first main champion i played a lot and i cant play it anymore, i do remember getting a pentakill with it and being really good with it, i also remember MaRin´s op maokai which made me a huge fan of him since i also played maokai before knowing him. Hopefully we can play old champion designs someday.
It's crazy hearing people talk about builds I use to play like it's ancient history. I quit 1 season after dunkey quit
I'd love to play old LoL, around the time oldest evelynn was around. I also miss old sion and gangplank, and overall, the simpler times.
And now it's nerfed again, the cycle is repeating itself

third rework incoming
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).
Ive been really loving these long form videos!
I think its worth noting that she also gets a buff when stealthed. In 2.0 it was mana regen, so she cpuld always engage out of stealth. She basically had no downtime and could freely give her mid laner blue buff.
5:37 I remember when it was a loss, people would sell their items and nonstop buy wards and place them around the base.
Thanks for this video, I have to also mention that Evelynn birthday was this month, from a an evelynn main, I appreciate you!

I used to play this game for a long time but some of the people (toxic players) and how riot had to make so many characters to a free game that it was hard to enjoy for casual players imo 😢
She was the 1st champ i unlocked in 2010
Evelynn was not considered strong before sorakabots smite revive strat, she was mainly considered a troll pick. Even after that the playstyle was nerfed and then considered a gimmick. Feels very weird to hear she was strong when the consensus wasn't the case back then, too bad forums have been deleted.

5 sunfire eve was not a real thing, it was a joke video someone made while playing against new players. I don't understand how anyone would think that it's a viable build. Just imagine having to clear the jungle with old sunfire components and then forcing someone to stand still for minutes and let themself die to a 40 damage per second burn so you can get fed and buy more sunfires... Lmao.
