Evelyn, Useless Yet Again

As I'm sure everyone has noticed the once feared blue skinned Lady has been absent and I'm sure many people are happy about it, I obviously am not. Ever since the new jungle hit she has been totally worthless, she is under the bar in literally every aspect of jungling. Her clear time is horrid, falling behind even tanks, her sustain is already non-existent as we know, and falls behind by lvl 4-5.

In her beginning she was a terrifying AP nuke assassin, invising and waiting for the right moment to delete an out of position soul and turn a fight or lane. Then a rework and meta shift later she became this AD fighter thing which, while effective, didn't really fit her theme of this supposed perfect predator. (called so by the Champ himself, Jax) And now she sits on a shelf, along with GP and Olaf and the like, waiting for Riot to fix them.

While I understand that some champions need it worse it would be nice to see her get some attention.

I do agree she is underpowered but we really need to be realistic: Her clear speed is not garbage. She cannot build full tank but her clear speed is better than most bruisers (including vi and lee sin) once she gets a magus. The reason you are falling behind are probably because you have to b often and gank too much (season 5 jungle requires you to gank less than season 4 to stay relevant).

A bit to my own suprise I found that gunblade actually synergizes well with her (yes i know it sounds troll) as it is the best item in the game for her q damage and also gives a lot of sustain. The downside is that it costs a lot but not more than triforce does which i often see vi build even though snowballing is much easier on eve. Also gunblade gives the largest burst even beating botrk, LE, and tri force.

I don't think she's going to be fixed until riot starts thinking outside of the box with her. I'm also pretty sure they are kind of scared to muck with her fundamentally because she needs her passive, but they don't want her to be OP because of it.
