Both champs are very different.

-Evelynn E is melee (meaning it gets procced less often) Whereas Vayne W procs every 3rd auto

-(on average a Vayne can auto 10 to upwards of 50 times depending on fight) so that equals 3-16+ Silver Bolts procs per fight consistenly with “no cooldown”.

​

In a teamfight where Vayne can proc her W upwards of 15 times, Evelynn will only really be able to E once or TWICE max. Not all damage in the game is 1:1 comparable.

Hi, I actually play a ton of Evelynn and my thoughts are as follow;

-the invis isn’t what make her broken/strong, its the absurd AP ratios specifically on her E and her R; E- (55/70/85/100/115 + 4% x [2.5% per 100 AP] max health, R- 125/250/375 + 75% AP [including 140% increased dmg to enemies under 30% health]… both numbers I gave are also not empowered (without charm)

-her invis range is actually pretty large and late game, if you catch someone out, you can reliably one shot them but if they’re around 1+ enemies it can be really hard to get on top of them without Flash, the heal part of her passive does make her really strong tho

-The sample size for Evelynn that I’m using (Masters+ NA) accounts for about 4,500 games and with a lower sample size, your W/R is bound to be higher statistically since the pick rate is lower. Graves, for example, has a similar win rate with about 14,000+ more picks which means he is consistently much stronger.

-Any nerfs to a champion with a such a small sample size and no presence in pro would likely gut the champion to sub 48% W/R

He’ll probably comfortably be better than the rest of the Top Laners in the League, sucks because he was one of my fave players in NA but this move makes sense from his side (though I’d imagine the money is significantly lower than LCS)

Honestly it’s just the fact that he does a ton of damage + is really oppressive early, if he gets a kill and starts snowballing it can be hard to deal with sometimes + with his passive, a kill on draven early is more valuable than most other ADs

The big key was retaining Tom since he is responsible for a lot of their strong drafts this year and I think any other additions are like the cherry on top, excited to T1 retain 3/4 of their coaching staff + all 5 players

I could see this as being better for the LJL in terms of practice/development… PCS minor seeds (such as PSG Talon) are some of the stronger, minor-region teams but I also think it’s necessary to increase the # of seeds the PCS would get for Worlds to 3 instead of 2 + DFM also has stagnated in terms of international performance since they roll LJL split by split so I’m excited to see how the JP/Taiwanese teams look at Worlds next year

wait thats actually sick asf ive been watching LCS as a whole for that long

If we’re talking Western League of Legends I’d say Sneaky. A lot of the LCS fans had an attachment to him because of how much content he made outside of playing pro + his personality in general and he was an incredible player for pretty much his whole career.

This split I’m cheering for C9 and FLY, C9 has a 4/5* NA roster (* = Fudge is technically OCE but their residency was changed to NA after OCE League disbanded) with top players in every role. NRG is also a lot of fun to watch if you want to check them out as well.

I perma say SwordArt when this question is asked, there might be players that disappointed more (CLG Crown, FLY VicLA, etc…) but even with those imports it made sense on why you would take a chance on them. With SwordArt there was close to nothing I saw that would ever warrant the price tag (It’s actually 2.5x KERIA’s curren salary). Even Pyosik to TL had moments such as Summer playoffs or his performance at Worlds but SwordArt was just ass the whole time he was in NA.

This was actually a really interesting post to read LMAO

Kiin, Canyon, Chovy, Viper, Delight (so i guess a mix of new GenG + HLE?)

he did look shaky at Worlds but I think given an off-season with APA + i’m assuming Core (nothing announced yet) along with Impact joining, I think this roster will be a lot less stressful. The work ethic is there, this man was playing close to like 12h+ easily of KR soloq a day

I was actually watching NEST which is the pre-season LPL tournament and there’s a guy named “untitled” which i thought was sick af

So I actually think it’s a combination of both;

​

The meta coming into Worlds was very Alistar/Rakan/Rell heavy for example but during the T1 v. LNG series we saw them use Senna as a flex (Guma picked Nilah with Keria on Senna, but Keria can also play a carry and/or tank) and with this versatility in draft gave them a huge advantage, and they’re also one of the few teams I see execute poke comps to a high level, and if a team excels at poke comps, it’s really hard to do anything other than try and match their range in pick/ban.

Akali would be my answer and it’s pretty evident with how she is in relation to meta, she is often either gigabusted or the worst champ in the game but i think Zeri is my next answer as well

probably hang’s blitzcrank performance and/or bin’s flash level 1 as jax into quinn (his reasoning was to trade hp since he would naturally lose prio, but quinn had fleet + refill so she outsustains regardless and he blew his flash for 0)

probably ezreal q’s (especially if they have W on them) its fast moving enough to where if you predict their movement you’ll hit them like 85% of the time and the champ just becomes soooo unlocked if you land every q

This is super cool to see!

What has kept you motivated to grind out the game to consistently improve especially at a time when most of the kids are gravitating towards Valorant/Fortnite etc… ?
