Ouch, why are we hurting Eve. Its Riots fault she's better balanced than any other assassin, except Kassadin.

She is, if you build her correctly(that means full AP).

A Miss Fortune3 votes

Why AP? I'm pretty sure she does more damage with AD, and she works with Sated Devourer. Since she can auto attack and use the rest of her kit at the same time, and also her E gives her a 120% attack speed buff at max rank which is absolutely insane. AP Evelynn's clear times are worse too I believe.

Q: 70% AD, 55% AP

W: I wish

E: 50% AD, 50% AP but also applies on-hit effects like BoRK

R: +1% more of their maximum health with every 100 AP

Assasin means burst. AD Eve is not as bursty as AP Eve.

A Miss Fortune2 votes

Not really, there's utility assassins, sustained assassins, mobility assassins, not all of them have burst.

Actually as AD Evelynn I just basically two shot the enemy team Lux.

AD Evelynn does the same or more damage than AP Evelynn with every skill but her ult, and that requires large amounts of AP to even attempt to make up the damage lost on her Q and auto attacks, which are her main damage dealers. You also lose out on on-hit effects like Blade of the Ruined King.

I'm not understanding how AP Evelynn can have more burst than AD, unless you're either not counting auto attacks or severely overestimating her ultimate (which also does a percentage of current health damage, not maximum).

except the nerf to her Q also nerfs AD eve.

ive played both AP and AD even very extensively while ive mained eve, both builds do the same ammount of damage glass canon wise, however its far better to build her as a AD bruiser if you actually play to carry which is stupid as shit.

Can't assassinate for shit.

3TWarrior2 votes

as of the moment, she is probably hopping on the devourer train with free kills early and a kit that makes building tanky necessary

I like getting her in ARAM. Her ad build is hilarious. Just rush hydra and you never have to worry about dying ever again!

wtf ap perma slow eve is broken idk what ur talking about, get runeglaive and rush an early rylias and either dudes have to flash or use a movement ability to get away from you, if they dont have either then they fucked.

A Miss Fortune1 votes

Yeah but she doesn't really do that much damage with AP until like late game lol? She has a permaslow with her Rylai's but her damage is significantly less and her clear times are much worse.

I Main Swain1 votes

you say that like you cant do the same thing with an ad build, just tankier

Couldn't they jut... y'know, turn around and kill you? Eve's damage is positively anemic.

foinhas1 votes

Meanwhile you reach 30 min mark and can't do squat...

Ap eve has an awesome mid-game, but her early and late suffer a lot (compared to ad, that is)

Basically it's like this:

Ap eve has bad early , awesome mid and meh late bruiser eve has great early, awesome mid, gool late

Ad eve has great early, good mid and beast-like late.

It also depends on your team. If you feel you can't "trust" your team, go bruiser. If you have a godd team definitly go for ad eve. Ad eve also mean better early jungle (ap eve jungle is just sooooooo bad, man) and doesn't suffer from invade as much as ap eve

btw, if you're going jungle eve never, but never go with double-edge sword mastery. Recovery is also much better than block or unyielding. Consider taking one lifesteal quint as well. with these you can stay in jungle all day without ever need to go back to base.

people dont understand how strong a 120% attack speed steroid is combined with a spammable Q.

foinhas1 votes

and this is exactly why people don't understand how scary ad/bruiser eve can be...

devourer+ botrk + trin = 80% hp from botrk alone in 3 seconds

Speak for yourself. Played Brand last game and she freaking deleted me with Luden's Echo.

lol riot nerfed her assassin traits a long time ago i'm really mad i wish a rioter can explain to me why they did that why did they let ad ev become a thing -_- we have too much ad in the jungle ev was a good ap assassin jungle

Well it also says she's an assassin/mage, yet she builds AD Tank every single game.

Dont you mean 2 shot?

Delioth4 votes

Well... Using E+Q would be two shots.

If you want to get anal about it, E is two shots alone.

Anidan4 votes

While true, isn't the term "one-shot" in league typically used to refer to a single combo, as opposed to a literal single shot?

I feel we should find a better term or phrase for that situation than one-shot.

lolipopevelynn3 votes

Eve hasnt been an assassin since that nerf to her ult back in 2013, and each nerf and change after that only made her turn more and more into a brusier/fighter out of necessity to stay viable.

this last set of nerfs to her Q and the indirect nerf to runeglaive was the final straw. i cant play eve seriously anymore untill she returns back to her assassin roots. im sick of playing her like a fucking brusier/pseudo tank.

junglerboy161 votes

try her as a full hybrid champ with a bit of attack speed. she works really well with on-hits atm because of E, so getting a devourer, while a little out of her normal style (since it needs to be stacked in the jungle mostly) is actually quite impressive.

I haven't tried it yet, but I bet something along the lines of item 3153 item 3933 item 3115 item 3146 item 3111 item 3285 could work very well, giving you a nice mix of AP, AD, AS, on-hit, and sticking power, as well as infinite HP sustain.

If that's the case imagine all the other assassins in Runeterra. Please sir, a loaf of bread is all I ask, then your enemies shall meet their demise.

Cheap as Janna Just $2.95 a minute

junglerboy168 votes

that's pretty damn expensive...

that's $177 an hour, or if she were working an average shift (and a full time assassin would be, if not more) she'd get 40x50-52 hours of work a year, giving her an annual salary of around $354,000 to $368,160 a year.

This is bullshit. I call fucking bullshit, Riot is sexist and very non feminist they love to nerf all the females because they see girls as weak and they love to buff all male champs for no reason that's why us feminists have to rally together and keep them from nerfing Vayne and Riven. They already assassinated Evelynn who's next? I call sexist when I see it.

Also notice when the female announcer was doing a great job and was very cool? Yeah No according to riot since shes a female she has to be weak so they removed her and added a man to do the job. Typical sexism at its finest.

They nerfed eve because she was a widow-maker (she killed a lot of married men and made a lot of widows) And she had power to kill a lot of men, so guess what? They gutted her.

And Now guess what? They are trying to make all female champions useless and pointless to the point all of them suck as support. They already replaced Leona with thresh and blitz, and notice how they are only making male supports because they are once again sexist pigs!

We all must come together and fight for equality. Quit letting the man take us down. Enough is enough!!!

It's funny that you're bringing sexism and are saying that they are downgrading 'us' women. You wanna know why feminism has a bad name on the internet? Because of people like you. If you want me to go and disprove every part of your original post, I will upon request. It wont be hard. Just a few clicks here and there.

Tomatosx1 votes

Yes keep insulting women!! You sure are tough!!!

doiminat0r36001 votes

Yes. Let's insult ONE woman online. Surely all women are bad. All of them are Evil (Extreme sarcasm). Let's go through your original comment shall we?

Riot is sexist and very non feminist they love to nerf all the females because they see girls as weak and they love to buff all male champs for no reason that's why us feminists have to rally together and keep them from nerfing Vayne and Riven.

"Nerfed females" SURE. That's exactly why MissFortune and Elise have gotton buffs in the past few patches. Who cares if they nerf Vayne and Riven? They need to be nerfed. Not because they are females but because they fill every single roll (Tank, Carry, Tank Killer, Assassin, mobility, etc.)

Also notice when the female announcer was doing a great job and was very cool? Yeah No according to riot since shes a female she has to be weak so they removed her and added a man to do the job. Typical sexism at its finest.

The female announcer has been apart of the game from launch. The Gangplank Voiceover is for the Bilgewater Event.

They nerfed eve because she was a widow-maker (she killed a lot of married men and made a lot of widows) And she had power to kill a lot of men, so guess what? They gutted her.

She also had the power to kill ALL of the other champions as well. She could kill literally every champion and had little to no counterplay. That's why she was gutted. No counterplay. Not sexism.

And Now guess what? They are trying to make all female champions useless and pointless to the point all of them suck as support. They already replaced Leona with thresh and blitz, and notice how they are only making male supports because they are once again sexist pigs!

Yes but Leona still has a 50%+ winrate on the NA servers (only one I checked). That's higher than every other champion that was meant to be a support. (Blitzcrank, Nautilus, and Malphite dont count considering they arent support champions) Kayle is the only one that is above Leona and guess what, Kayle is gasps a girl. Guess who is behind Leona? Sona. A girl.

We all must come together and fight for equality. Quit letting the man take us down. Enough is enough!!!

Equality =/= man hating. That is what you're doing. Think. For once.
