Evelynn, bad?

So why exactly is Evelynn considered so bad? i can usually do quite well with her (granted i am only bronze 1 and this is my first season of playing, however i expect to reach at least gold by the end of the season, plenty of moba experience) but is this just a case of similiar heroes such as rengar and kha'zix do it better? her team fight does seem poor however when pushing up on an emey turret, but i've snowballed a lot of games early with her, but even this low you get flamed for picking her, should i give up the evelynn dream and conform? I enjoy the assassin jungle style, the ability to swing the game wildly in your teams favor early by a good adc or ap carry gank.

okay, i'm in the same boat as you, but propably have more eve experience. #80%winrateatonepoint

so, the MAJOR issue with evelynn that i can see right now is the large amount of tanks and cc on the map, which give her major issues. But this can be ignored for the sake of discussion. Her kit is one which favors strategy HEAVILY Her perma-invis status means that her base stats can be kinda crappy, putting her at a disadvantage in straight up fights. Because of this, she HAS to skirt around the fight and go in when she's safe to. This is why she's supposedly bad, because she doesn't look like she does much besides clean up kills.

#low Elo players have no clue that she has to do this

my advice? Keep practicing her in normals, but play others in ranked until ~silver 3, where people start having basic knowledge. And i'd recommend using nocturne if you want a good assassin-type jungler, as he's able to have a more tangible effect in games than eve's hidden power, which is, wasting pink ward gold

the issue i take with that is, tanks are tanks they arent meant to go wrecked by any single damage dealer instantly, at level 6 or so i can generally 100-0 any adc or non cho'gath mid lane, assuming they no longer have flash and my farm has been good enough to get runeglaive, i view her mid game as the deciding factor really, if i dont have have about 6 kills by minute 30 and arent a level up on the enemy adc at least, i know the end game will be dodgey, in that situation team fights i sit back in brush wait for the adc to to make a wrong move, run in kill her and get out. i generally pull at least an A- with her every game (doesnt mean much but still) but usually get S. i just hate to see champs i actually enjoy get flammed and called bad for not being a simple kit thats OP.

Problem with Eve is that she has a bad jungle clear as an assassin champ. You can pick Eve, but she's inferior to the other assassin junglers who do her job better.

i feel like her clear is actually really good? you line everything up and spam your q, tons of hp back and you cleave it all and chunk with your e, i can full clear with her before ever backing?
