Evelynn is not a hard champion

Evelynn is not a hard champion. I am shocked how often I've been seeing boards/reddit posts mentioning how she is hard and only play her when you know how to Jungle very well. They say her Q is hard to use and her passive is confusing? Also people don't use her W correctly.

I've had games where it was best never to fully finish her W and just Q W for the slow during ganks/burst combos. Waiting the full duration will make allies run to their aid/enough time for them to run under turret due to league being such a small map. Games like these you max E 2nd and W last.

Other games you are vsing over extending players/non mobile/tank characters that allows you to use your W fully charged. In this, you max it.

Evelynns W is a very strong slow just to stick to your squishy targets you kill within 1-2 seconds or a tank buster, but due to not many tanks being in the game, it's rare you fully channel it.

So yeah. Don't knock off eve and go off saying she's complicated when her kit is made to jungle. The only issue I've ever had with Eve is her shitty wave clear, which should be your allies job. But if you are losing you get a protobelt for extra hp to make a play and clear minions that your allies don't want.

Also, big mistake eve players make is just mindlessly building lich bane 2nd item. It can be good if you are fed for faster clear speeds in jungle camps and if you back with just enough gold. If you don't have enough gold to buy it, it's better to buy another big power spike item such as spell binder (more movement speed, important for eve, as well as higher burst with just a little charges) or zhonyas. Her AP ratios are extremely high and she can only get 1 lich ban proc in a burst combo so it's really whatever.

Players also don't use her R to gapclose when necessary. Many times R into E for a kill is better then Flash into R.

Q can be cast before W from max range for a surprise slow. Then you pummel them with Qs till your in range for E. R as needed. very little time to react.

Eves biggest issues imo are that shes difficult to thrive with when 2 or so lanes lose. your just kneecapped if teammates drop the ball early to the wrong champions.

Win? win more tends to be the name of the game with eve jungle. Shes imo the closet thing Leauge has to a Dota Style mid game carry.

R gapclose is very rare to do. I think out of all my games it was only useful 1-2 times, if that. I don't have an issue getting close to my enemies due to how much movement speed you have from items and masteries (the movement speed per kill one is very good).

I will go multiple games with out using the mechanic once. Then some times I will use it 3+ times in a single match.

Point is, its part of her kit, something you can do for a net gain... but a lot of folks don't understand why or how.

This is not exclusive to Eve.

Yep. Probably because I am mindlessly building lich bane 1st or 2nd item.

I like the champion because good games are super fun. Not remotely good at her... I'm usually a liability in ranked at jungle as a role.

you got a lot of kills and game didn't end. ok you did well but the game went on for so long that it was a dice roll at that point and whoever mispositioned won the game. what does this have to do with her being an easy to play champ?
