Tell me what I'm doing wrong with Evelynn

So in my last two games with Eve, I have; A) Couldn't help my lanes recover or add pressure B) All my ganks felt unsuccessful and they either got away or I died. C) Had a horrible time clearing and had to back before my first clear cycle due to losing too much health. D) All of the above

I pretty much always start Talisman + Refillable potion

On the top side, my clear route is Blue > Gromps > Wolves > Red if Smite is up, if not, Scuttle > Whichever one I didn't do previously. I tend to leave Krugs and Raptors for second clear due to how squishy Eve is.

On the bottom side, it's the same except I switch around Red and Blue.

Once I'm done my first clear, I back and grab Stalker's Blade and then start looking for lanes to gank. This seems to be where most of my problems come in. I know Eve isn't a great early ganker, but I feel like I must be doing SOMETHING wrong with how little my ganks seem to matter. The other jungler always has so much MORE pressure than me and it feels like no amount of counter-ganking seems to fix that.

Typical build order: item 1402 > item 3020 item 3009 item 3111 > item 3116 > item 3152 The rest of the build is usually situational, but common items include item 3157 item 3742 item 3001 item 3285 item 3026

I REALLY love playng Evelynn, but she hasn't been a main jungler of mine for a LONG long time, so it could be that I'm just insanely rusty, but I still want to hear some tips from other Evelynn players. Thanks in advance for any advice that comes my way!

Eve's jungle is really hard in general. Not to mention, her ganking power lies in her ability to punish enemies who don't respect her presence in the jungle. If you go against smart opponents, Eve's ganks are less effective because they will be wary of her. You just have to accept that Eve is not a champ you use every game.

I don't know how viable AP Eve is nowadays. I mean her burst is respectable against squishies, but she has no sustain and she gets blown up pretty easily. I'd say try a bruiser build on her.

Example in no particular order: item 1400 item 3009 item 3156 item 3153 item 3110 item 3102

If you get fed late game you can replace item 1400 with item 3078

Try that and let me know how it goes.
