I guess riot only want us to play evelynn like the "pro" build her with the new item and full Tank after that!!

Because if you play AP evelynn you lose 10% CDR 40AP 15% Extra damage from lich bane because you cant build lich bane and have the new item too! 5% ms lost from lich bane! Plus the nerfs that happen on item 3285 in the previous patch hit her hard too!! With the new patch evelynn lost 250 extra magic damage from her E good job riot good job nice item that gut 250 damage from a champion!

So yeah guys riot "really dont enforce build and metas" no no no....

How to build Evelynn in few steps:

For Ap:

  1. Buy her stricte AP. Lots of damage
  2. Notice everyone kills you before you have even chance to get close
  3. Notice that you don't deal any serious "assassin'ish" damage
  4. Sell most of AP items leaving just Ludens Echo
  5. Buy 5 tank items
  6. Act like any tank, cause that's what you can do
  7. KS people while screaming "Eve is viable assassin!!1111"

For AD:

  1. Buy all nice sweet AD items you ever wanted
  2. People kill you faster than caster minion
  3. Sell all that sweet AD items youu ever wanted except triforce
  4. Buy 5 most tank'ish items in the game
  5. Act like a tank, cause that's all Eve is good at
  6. Cry
  7. Get some easy KS just to make you feel better

Now for both:

  1. Come to forum and say: Eve is balanced, she doesn't need any help
  2. Downvote anyone who says otherwise
  3. Go into the game, pick Eve and proceed with steps 1-7
  4. Cry. Cry alot.

Runeglaive has low base damage and low stats but good AP scaling. It enforces an Full AP build, not AP-Tank.

I tested Runeglaive on Eve, and I think it is slightly better than Magus. Magus was great, the best enchantment, but Runeglaive is even more useful.

You have to compensate the loss of 10% CDR with runes. But this makes you stronger in the early game. CDR is the single best stat for Eve, get it as early as possible, if you can get it with runes - do it, if that doesn't mean that you are overcapping with items later. With rune glaive you can take 15% CDR from runes/masteries, 10% from runeglaive and 15% from boots. You have 15% during the early game and that is really good.

Once you buy runeglaive, your Q is not as strong as with Magus, but your E and your Sheen AAs are way stronger. Overall my feeling is that it is worth.

Later you don't have to buy Lich bane. There are so many other good items, but Lich bane was necessary for burst. Now you have it in your Jungle item, what is great because you are more free later to buy other items.

And runeglaive converts one E strike into magic damage! this means magic penetration is now a good stat again for Eve like before 4.1. In the next patch Liandries and Void staff will be buffed. This will be great for Eve.

And Ludens Echo was never a really good item for Eve, even before the nerf. item 3089 , item 3100 , item 3146 were always better for her, damage-wise.

Runeglaive -> Rabadons is the best build.

good, ap eve is crap anyways xD

Ap eve has sucked in the jungle for a while. Really u can just use warrior or cinder hulk and build hybrid/tank which works better anyway. Sucks she can't use magus anymore. So much for the dps spike.

You can always take her back to mid and build ap..

So? You shouldn't be playing "eve jungle" in yoloQ anyways if you want your team to win.

The issue with Evelynn is that Riot tried to make her an assassin, determined she did that WAY too well, started turning her into a bruiser, but tried to keep her as an assassin, so now we have a bruiser that's too squishy and doesn't deal enough damage, or an assassin that can't assassinate.

Pretty much sums up what I've seen from Evelynn since her rework (after the initial rework that left us with OP Eve).

I still think the solution for jungle items is to give us temporary/disposable jungle items. The thing is riot wants us to really use smite all game long. For the longest time junglers could never use smite on champions and it was fine. There are ample items available that do practically the same thing as smite active what's the difference if it comes from pressing f or d for summoner as opposed to 1234 for item slot. Would be nice if you could sell jungle items for little cost that way you can trade it for lichbane later in the game. While early game it can help you get past jungle phase...

Come late game I still will often sell my jungle item. Why keep say warrior when you can get Triforce/bortk/gunblade/BT/ghostblade/blackcleaver/mallet/scimitar etc instead. Its just mostly in extended games. Games should usually end before then.

The only meta that Riot is trying to enforce with Eve is that you shouldn't play her.
