Thoughts on the state of Evelynn?

Here's my impressions, in particular some issues I noticed spam-playin her for the past few weeks:

  1. Her waveclear is pretty shitty. This is mostly because of the fact that her Q has a VERY long cd if you don't use it on monsters in the jungle, it blows your mana fast to use this on waves too.

  2. She seems to rely too much on her first combo killin you. The CDs between spells are by her her biggest issue for me, it's too long and in many cases you can get killed durin the wait-time. This holds especially true vs AA reliant champs like jax or udyr etc.

  3. Obviously her ganks are very telegraphed because of how the charm works, and it takes a while for it to charge up for a taunt.

  4. For a champ that relies on her first combo, her combo doesn't scale that well as the game goes on, but then again she's an assassin so i guess that's expected.

  5. Outside of sheen proqs her damage to towers sucks for split pushin.

Other than that, I love her jg clear, it's way easier than on the old eve, and most of the time you can come out healthy. Sure she's easy to counter-jg but you yourself can also counter-jg, and i've been gettin away with that in a lotta games. Her pre-6 ganks are not 100% terrible but not very reliable without invis. If she does get fed it's pretty hard to deal with her. That said overall I think she's a bit weak so I think somethin along these lines can probably make her much better (not all applied but more like one or the other): Lettin her Q reset apply to minions, lowerin the CD vs champs on her Q or in general with her abilities, lettin her first combo deal more damage with the same CDs, extra damage on her kits vs creeps for waveclear, givin her a better speed-up in a gank or lettin her charm charge up faster so she doesn't have to wait so long to strike first.

There ya go, take that with a grain of salt i'm low level

Do you kite back while doing camps? Cuz that's how the new Eve works and also if you know what happens when you miss your Q why miss it? Try not to. It was a weird mechanic for the 1st 2 games or so since old Eve didn't have that but it only takes a few games to adapt? As for it being telegraphed they certainly get a warning but then you can still optimize some things you do to give them the least amount of time to react i.e picking better angles or dancing around vision just right. About the scaling, idk really, she's all about the scaling as far as I know.

honestly I don't find any issues with Evelynn's scaling into the lategame - rather, I think she scales extremely well, especially by the standards of an assassin. Lategame on Evelynn I don't feel like I have any reliance on landing W or even Q to kill squishies, and I find her able to deal with tanks very well due to the shred on her W and the high % damage of E.

I think Evelynn is underrated right now and if anything I would expect Riot to nerf her before she sees any more buffs. I imagine that if she does see any nerfs, lategame E damage will be the target, so I'd love to see her Q buffed in return - its damage feels very underwhelming at all points of the game.

Then don't miss? Its a 6 second cd if you miss assuming you spam it.

She's mid -late game power not early although she can be early

Her slow should be enough, or if your laner has cc, get them to cc first

She all ins well late
