What the hell do you even build on Eve now?

Visigoth··4 votes·1,111 views

Is she supposed to be an AP assassin? Is she a bruiser now? Hybrid? I feel like at this point it's kinda just "Fuck it build whatever."

In all serious item 3707 item 3078 item 3143 item 3102 item 3111 item 3156? More less the defense items being situational. item 3153?

Sadly at this point, the best way to play Eve is simply not to. She is way to over nerfed and is aproaching her season 2 self AGAIN... I don't think its possible for her to be worse then she was back then though.

But she is pretty close...

AP she has no finisher (ult sucks now and DFG isn't even in the game). AD still no finisher and now shes reliant on getting right next to people but shes squishy, build her tanky and she does no damage and her ganks have 0 threat as she also lacks cc. AD youre visible way before you are in range, ap you can cast early but you dont have burst and q sustain does practically no damage unless they are sooo low on health and oom they actually have to run.

Due to over nerfs, nerfs, more nerfs and the removal of DFG she is no longer viable with any build. Go hybrid and pray your opponent are horrible and over extend with no flash till riot gives Eve SOMETHING she can run with.

uhm doesnt matter because eve is still epic garbage even though people like you fall for the bait of such a useless meaningless buff. So the correct answer is nothing because you shouldnt be playing eve at all.

item 3153 item 3102 item 3022 item 3083 item 3078 item 3100 item 3025 item 3156 item 3074 item 3143 item 3110 item 3146 item 3285 item 3116 item 3089 item 3115 item 3151 item 3001 item 3068 item 3091 item 3124 , all items that can work on eve....i see your problem.

If i were to jungle here, i probably would get somehing like item 3271 item 3718item 3025 item 3091 item 3190 item 3143 , or item 3269 item 3707 item 3153 item 3078 item 3110 item 3102

With that setup she's tankier than most of legit tanks...

Assassin my *ss.

Sire Hippington1 votes

sure, cause i play her as bruiser if i jungler her. As a assasin, she needs more gold to work

Saianna1 votes

What i meant was more like..

If her kit FORCES her to go almost full tank, then no matter how you look at it, she is not an assassin. My comment was more against Riots policy "to fill every champion class with weird champions, just so it wouldn't feel empty"

Like "Nidalee is an Assassin". She's not. And so isn't Evelynn anymore.

well, eve isn't realy anymore, but nida surely is. use mobillity to flank enemies, go in opportunistical to 100-0 an important target, 100% an assasin. She just happens to add poke and heal aswell, which kinda breaks her kit, but she definitly fits the bill as assasin.

Uh.. i'm playing LoL tad too long then.. Back when i started there were only 3 assassins in game. Eve, Twitch & Shaco..

Now i have this weird feeling that anything that jumps out of tall grass is new meta assassin of 2015

Sire Hippington1 votes

pretty sure yi was tagged as an assasin aswell, and even malph was taged as an assasin in S1

I think item 3060 is way better than item 3190

Sire Hippington1 votes

pretttymuch depends on situtation. If you face some more aoe, that shield from locked really shouldn't be underestimated

Ive seen pretty creative stuff, like the tank shredding build that I've seen played in nemesis when we were given all melee tanks. The DPS is crazy.

Evelynn item 3153 item 3726 item 3025 item 3116 item 3151 item 3020

The best way is probably close to what you built.. You wana build her more so AD and tanky because she doesn't really assassinate someone quickly lol

that being said I would generally build item 3707 or item 3708 into: item 3143 item 3102 item 3111 item 3078 item 3110 some would favor item 3153 for the extra sustain in the jungle, cheaper build path, and extra sticking power

Other nice item isitem 3025 as the slow procs with your E now. Oh and CDR is always nice right? =]

It depends on what you plan to do for your team to achieve victory and when you want your power spikes to be.

I build a lot of thing, and have seen yet more builds that consistently win in the hands of better players at high elo.

Imo she has 3 build paths that can do reasonably well. Either warrior into botrk into tri force then full tank, or get devourer in wits end then go botrk/tank or you can grab magus and go ap

I have tried a bruiser ish build with item 3708 + item 3153 / item 3285 / item 3146 / item 3078 + item 3025 (only if i did not go triforce)

After this I go tanky items so I can stay in teamfights. I have never understood why you would build warrior over magus as the ap and cdr is so much better for your q.

With item 3078 I find I am not sticky enough even though it has the highest potential single target dps, With item 3285 you get the highest potential burst but I find the buildpath very punishing and her single target burst leaves a but to be desired, item 3153 gives most of what you want, has an easy buildpath but the continued damage after the active burst is the worst of them if you cannot consistently aa, item 3146 gives the highest burst, most sustain, equal with botrk in build path (but more expensive) but better (much better) continued damage if you cannot aa a lot while your e is active.

Yes I was suprised too that gunblade is even viable.

item 3285 is so amazing on her,

I'd say something like item 3716 item 3285 item 3020 item 3116 item 3157 item 3001

item 3020 item 3708 item 3089 item 3100 item 3285 item 3135

dont tell anyone

On-hit AD and AS items are quite effective, I have found. A typical full build for me would be item 3710, item 3117, item 3153, item 3078, item 3091, as well as one defensive item.

My Eve build changes everytime I play her. She's so messed up you really can't go wrong anymore. Whatever your team needs... build it.
