An early look at the reworked Evelynn
Evelynn, the Widowmaker, is set to get a rework in League of Legends that will put her once again as one of the top junglers in the game.
For a while now, Evelynn, the Widowmaker, hasn’t been efficient as a jungler in League of Legends. She’s easy to kill by enemies and in the grand scheme of things, lacked the right damage output to make her a viable option in the jungle role.
The truth of the matter is she didn’t do well at all when trying to gank enemy champions because if she did, her kit didn’t give her enough utility to keep up with the current META classes. When it came to team fights, she wasn’t able to be much of a difference maker and at the end of the day, her rework couldn’t have come sooner.
Developers also noticed her lack of popularity as she didn’t deliver up to what they envisioned but now, have given Summoners an early glimpse of what they’ve been working on for the past few months. Check out their short champion teaser on the now Evelynn, Agony’s Embrace:
Needless to say, this is exactly what she needed to bring her back into being a solid jungler for Summoners out there that have been waiting for such an update. By the looks of the above video, her kit will once again be focused on her ability to stealth and surprise enemies before they realize what is going on.

She has some new abilities that look to finally be able to either stun or charm enemy champions. Evelynn also has an ability that is similar to Kayn, the Shadow Reaper, as she can either flash or teleport through walls.
It’s hard to tell if it’s a single ability or perhaps her ultimate, but either way, she looks like she’s going to instill fear into opposing champions who venture into the jungle. If Evelynn is able to be an effective stealth/mobile assassin, she should have no problem chasing down enemies and making them think twice before engaging with her.

This is a great new look for her as it’ll be exciting to see this reworked Evelynn once it goes live. Expect to see her officially added via patch update 7.20 which should hopefully be just a few weeks away.
