Is Evelynn Currently Overpowered?

So, I just played two games as Evenlynn. I haven't touched her since Season 3, until a friend of mine dared me to go Red Build Eve Top, maxing E first.

I was able to easily 1v1 the enemy Riven and then proceed to 1v1 Kled in his jungle until the enemy team surrendered.

> Fun part, the enemy team surrendered because the Support Lee Sin rage quit after flamming their jungler, Kled, for using a troll pick. Apparently, Kled jungle is trolling and Support Lee Sin is fine.

Next game, I decide to try Eve again. This time I'm put in the jungle. I do the Shaco cheese (get red and invade blue) and get both the buff and First Blood on their Amumu. From that point foward the game is all about me and Annie getting fed as hell. As I couldn't really touch her while her ult was up (she still was a fed Annie and I a squishy Eve).

Once it came to late game I could easily take Annie down on my own, even if she had her stun up.

So I, a bronze scrub who didn't touched Eve for years, was able to simply pick and roll that well with the champion. It got me wondering: is Eve currently overtuned? She seemed pretty damn strong for me.

>INB4 Eve is crap against coordinated teams who know how to place pinks >INB4 You can counter Eve by doing X, or Y or Z > > This is not a QQ thread. I'm not asking for help on how to stop an Eve. I'm just curious about her current state.

She's not that strong. A lot of people just don't know how to deal with her cause they either don't know what she does, how she works, or what a item 2043 is. She's a good get out of bronze champion for that reason but in higher elo she's not an insta win, she's just balanced up there.

Currently Evelynn is a pretty balanced champion. She has her strengths and her weaknesses, but doesn't really show up outstandingly overpowered or greatly underpowered. The other thing is that you are playing her in bronze, which in my opinion on the champ in bronze is that she is god tier. If you can properly get through the jungle clear on her, you can easily carry games with her in that elo. But when we are talking about OP champs or underpowered champs, we have to talk about the champ in high elo, because that is where the champ will be played to it's fullest potential, and currently she is just a niche pick.

Eve is definitely not strong especially in lane. Obviously though you can make anything work against an opponent whose not very good. Like other person commented - she's very good to get out of bronze mainly because people don't know how to deal with her invisibility and don't realize that they can actually obliterate her the moment she comes out of stealth.

Also Lee is actually a viable support - he provides a shield, slow, knockback and has strong early game damage. I'm not going to say he's the best support but I consider him no worse than trundle whose currently doing very well as a support.

I'd play Lee support, but c'mom. A Lee support complaining about a jungle Kled is a bit ridiculous.

Evelynn has an infuriating early game but drops off like a freaking brick. She's like aatrox, build damage and get deleted after suicide bombing or build tank and be ignored. Build hybrid and be useless.
