Any players Gold or above who can offer advice would be great.

My matches typically go win-lose-win-lose etc not quite a 50-50 trade off but close to it Im just in normals, but i would like to improve so i can climb the ranks when i hit 30

Also dont say it doesnt work

There is nothing more satisfying for me than winning a match and carrying, while 2 or 3 teammates say AD eve doesnt work

don't jump into ranked as soon as you hit 30. Make sure you can win/ carry 80% of your games with evelynn first and then go in. Score may not matter, but doesn't make you a better player. I have a friend with almost 1 mill mastery points on evelynn, but he still can't make it past silver 4 because he never improves himself, he just keeps playing without trying to figure out what he could do differently. She relies on being in the right spot at the right time, and if your still leveling you haven't learned it yet.

Accept that full AD Evelynn is too squishy. It just is. There is no working around it, because you can't get into melee range while you're invisible. Your role is to be an off-tank engage of sorts for your team. Your early game build should be Warrior - Gauntlet into whatever you feel is necessary. Mobility Boots are great for high impact.

These are generally the only acceptable runes for Evelynn: ad marks, armor seals, ap quints + glyphs

Mastery wise, Fervor of Battle suits the play style best. Since your E procs it twice, you can quickly stack it with that and the bonus attack speed. You're durable, so you get the full 60 bonus ad from it, which means that counts towards your abilities with AD ratios (Q/E). Make sure you take at least two points in Vampirism. Otherwise, you won't have enough sustain to do a full clear. Ask for a smiteless leash on your buff.

Aside from that, watch high ELO players play her. Decision making is roughly 3/4 of the game, and you can only learn by doing/watching.

AD is just really awkward. I still haven't quite gotten a lock on her dmg. If i go AD on Eve i go bruiser which looks something like this item 3078 item 3742 item 3143 item 3022 item 3065 +boots and maybe item 3153 switched in since it's good again. If you want burst, AP just plain works better 90% of the time, but i find that ADC items work better for burst than AD assassin items. something like item 3078 item 3153oritem 3146 item 3046 item 3072 item 3074 used to work pretty well, but i haven't tried it in awhile. AD also has a pretty different play style than AP or tanky eve. AP and tanky you wanna preasure early and snowball with AP/snowball your team with tanky. AD is all about farming similar to MasterYi actually. If your team is doing bad early then it is very risky to play AD eve since you won't be able to help them, but if there is nothing you can do(for the most part) then it will scale more into the late game.

I mained almost exclusively AD eve last season (season 5) and still play her AD occasionally this season. After the ADC item changes, specifically to essence reaver, and after many nerfs to eve directly I can say that its not as effective as it use to be. That being said, it still works very well.

This may sound counter intuitive, but item 1402 is still the best jungler option even for AD eve. It gives you the move speed and more importantly the early game burst that you need to secure kills. Warriors is a wasted item slot on eve in comparison and sated is for more DPS oriented builds where you stick to a target longer.

So id start picking up runic and then go into a lethality build. item 1402 + item 3147 is actually insane burst. Pick up a herald and finish item 3078 right after and you will be spiking like crazy

item 3742 mandatory for ad eve. 100% of time. also item 3102 if they have ap. don't get item 3065 on eve. the spellshield too good on her for engage . since your invis aint possible to poke the shield off before u in engage range.

Name is accurate. I am the best eve player on the NA server.

AD Eve is tougher to play than AP Eve, shes more reliant on AA for dps and generally has less kite options. She can have great split push ability built this style, but eve is a naturally strong split push champ by default. In general, Rylai has been so strong on her for the past year and a half that there isn't a reason to ever play eve and not build this item, but Rylai is getting nerfed and AD Eve was viable even when Rylai was the obvious superior version.

In the past, before the changes to Rylai in the season 5 MYMU, I ran her mostly as an AD bruiser with a core of item 1400 item 3153 item 3078 and then a pair of durability items item 3065 item 3075 item 3026 item 3110 item 3102 item 3139 and boots for the specific game situation (lots of stuns and heavy AP = Mercs, Multiple aa dependent enemies = Tabi, Ahead early more ganks harder snowball = mobis/swifties).

This build is pretty solid. But its not as effective as you want it to be at anything. Not really tanky enough to be as front line as you want to be given your dps level, not as great a burst as you could get, not the best dps you can get, not the most ideal and optimal rune/mastery set up with only 40% cdr built into build without lucidity boots, etc. It has its drawbacks in that its a swiss army knife, and it can do a lil of everything, but it can't do anything really great.

I swapped in favor of a more AP bruiser style build after the Rylai changes and it looks like this. A core of item 1402 item 3116 item 3057 and then I can select from a wide range of options such as my standard front line build with item 3078 item 3110 item 3026 item 3111 , a more assassin one shot style with item 3100 item 3152 item 3157 item 3117 , and things like item 3102 item 3742 item 3146 item 3139 item 3143 item 3512 item 3053 remain suitable game specific counter options.

If I were to play Eve AD in the coming weeks I would probably do this item 3078 item 3146 item 1400 item 3156 item 3047 item 3026.

But I'd be even more likely to play her hybrid like so item 1402 item 3116 (the burst and passive from runic is nice and the utility from rylai as stick for chase or peel on retreats is too good to pass up) item 3078 item 3146 (more burst, more dps, durability, legit one shot ability with the 4 items now and active of Gunblade) item 3110 (Defense and offense, this item adds cdr, which eve turns into dps for q's, makes her tanky versus primary enemy dps at least) and boots to suit with Tabi as go to. I'd be willing to build GA and Zzrot depending on how much money I have and whether or not I really need runic echoes any more in the late game.

If you are just looking for some fun or silly AD builds that you can make work if you play and adopt the right style for the build, try something like these:

item 3748 item 3022 item 3078 item 3142 item 3026 item 3158

item 3142 item 3147 item 3078 item 3074 item 1400 item 3158
