Evelynn Changes

Patch 26.17

nerf

Evelynn is one of the best-performing junglers in Classic and is gaining more win rate over time as players learn how to optimize her. As such, she’s due for a nerf. We’re pulling a mix of reverted buffs from her initial release and nerfs from 2013’s future. We're making Dark Frenzy worse when just spammed to get across the map, reducing her mid-late jungle clear speed, and making her consider her mana costs more, just like other AP junglers.

Passive - Shadow Walk

  • Maximum Mana Regeneration While Camouflaged: 1% → 0.8%

Q - Hate Spike

  • Base Damage: 40 / 60 / 80 / 100 / 120 → 40 / 55 / 70 / 85 / 100
  • Missile Speed: 3000 - 800, decaying → 2000 - 800, decaying

W - Dark Frenzy

  • Mana Cost: 0 → 40
  • Cooldown: 15s → 20s
