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
Teémò2 votesdon'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.
RubberSexDoll1 votesSolid point
RubberSexDoll1 votesIf i may ask How do you deal with people who want you or expect you to play in a way contrary to how eve should be played?
Teémò1 votesplay what you enjoy, mute them if you feel you need to. I used to proxy evelynn top tp smite when trailblaizer smite existed. I'd take 24 armor and proxy waves like singed and then tp gank bot lane and go invisable until I got right up to them and would carry by split pushing and starving the enemy jungler. Everyone has there own strategies, but so long as you have fun that's the main part.

i ignore them, because those same sheep will be sucking your dick after you carry them.
Zetto1 votesIgnore what anyone has to say, but keep in mind that people might pick things assuming that you're gonna go AP. Either make it known that you're going AD, play hybrid, or learn to play AP and AD.
Blue Collar Bear2 votesAccept 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.
RubberSexDoll1 votesI agree on full AD being too squishy
I always build health in there somewhere, its one of the first few things i grab after i finish my jungle item
WinTheWarOnPants2 votesAD 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 
+boots and maybe 
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 or
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 
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.
RubberSexDoll1 votesMy typical build goes like this
or 
situationally
situationally
situationally
and i dont diverge much from that unless i have to
most games are over before i even hit my 5th item
WinTheWarOnPants1 votesOk so you go "bruiserish" not full AD, and that's probably for the best lol. One of the things i love about Eve is she can make almost anything work. With that being said i don't think that is ever a good option on her simply because she can not use it effectively for 2 reason: 1. Her E is the only ability that can proc the shred making it very slow to stack and 2. even when building AD she is still doing a large amount of magic dmg which makes the armor shed very ineffective even after you stack it up. everything else is solid. I would say trade for since it will work better with titanic and the MS/slow works really well on her. if you wanna keep the bloodthirster i would say that would be a better option, but I'm not that familiar with the combination. Oh! and another AD item that you should keep in mind is 
it can be quite risky since it makes you even weaker early but if you go 
straight into 
it works quite well. Then you just farm your blue booty off, since is a full blown "I'm going for the late game" build. It's possible to snowball with it, but it's all luck if enemies feed themselves to you.
RubberSexDoll1 votesI'll give these a shot
i tend not to build ravenous with other life steal items because it says right there that ravenous only life steals from the damage it does not the total damage you do
WinTheWarOnPants1 votes"Life steal applies to 50% of CLEAVE and CRESCENT'S splash physical damage." this means that the dmg from the passive effect the "cleave" only applies 50% of the lifesteal. it doesn't limit your lifesteal in anyway, it in fact gives you AOE lifesteal, it's just 50% effective for the AOE. Meaning it actually does very well with other lifesteal items.
RubberSexDoll1 votes:/ I guess i just interpreted differently
Or maybe it was the old version of it that i interpreted differently
WinTheWarOnPants1 votesthe item description in game is a little misleading but if you check the wiki it clears things up.
Zetto1 votes
> as edge destealths you.
are all pretty useless as the life steal is based on AAs.
is pretty much the only worthwhile form of lifesteal for eve, and is godly as your Q/E both scale with dual stats.
/ is a godlike combo with the hydra proc
and 
are pretty much interchangeable, but gives you better burst, as well as mana sustain.
and 
are also interchangeable, but if one or two hypercarries are fed you might wanna take to avoid being bursted down in retaliation.
is pretty much crap. If you want the MR/health combo go for 
is hilarious but only if you're snowballing like crazy.
is crap as it takes much too long to stack, and even then your chances of utilizing the armor shred at that point are low.
is decent
are my go-to boots due to the CDR/SS CDR, but 
/ are good if someone on the enemy team is fed. aren't that good, as generally you'll end up getting an item with MS anyway, and slows aren't much of a problem with your W.
/
are good last items as they give you decent resistances, and compliment the fact that with AD eve you generally build bruiser items like / . is better when you need more map pressure, is better when you know teamfights are gonna be messy.

Also, tbh I've been experimenting lately and found that hybrid eve is actually insane. Don't have many games for it yet but this was recent. http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/2362650279/218647250?tab=overview
Feel free to add me; Once finals are over i'll be on more, and I can give you some more help, and maybe show you personally.
lolipopevelynn1 votesI 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 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. + is actually insane burst. Pick up a herald and finish right after and you will be spiking like crazy
RubberSexDoll1 votesThank you, i'll give it a shot!
MunchCrunchLunch1 votes mandatory for ad eve. 100% of time. also if they have ap. don't get 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.
Surr20plz1 votesThe life steal on deaths dance is not based on AAs.

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 and then a pair of durability items 
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 
and then I can select from a wide range of options such as my standard front line build with , a more assassin one shot style with 
, and things like 
remain suitable game specific counter options.
If I were to play Eve AD in the coming weeks I would probably do this .
But I'd be even more likely to play her hybrid like so (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) (more burst, more dps, durability, legit one shot ability with the 4 items now and active of Gunblade) (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:
