Evelynn Early Game
Evelynn really struggles early on in the jungle now. Can we expect a buff to her initial clear?

Slightly off topic, but have you ever tried to play her top? She fares better than in jungle, and you can rush Sheen, which makes her much better in the beginning.
IMO Eve has a strong early game Jungle, don't focus on farming as much as counter Jungling.
Since the Jungle buffs champs tend to get very low between farming the jungle lvl 1-6, so after you reach lvl 2 go kill the enemy Jungler, sneak right up on him while he has 50 health clearing the red or blue buff, kill him and steal the buff.
Early Jungle Eve is not hard at all.
What I usually do it get a leash for red, hunt down the wolves, get gromp while smiting him sense by this time it's off cool-down, then take over blue.
By this time, I should have enough to upgrade the

Just don't forget to get all your skills unlocked when you reach level 3 or so and boost up her [Q] sense that will be your damaging skill. if anything, when you return from the jungle during early game, make sure to get...

I play AD Evelynn. Not sure about anyone else, but she's much stronger AD than she is AP. I usually max E since the initial burst tends to spook people more, and I take 
instead of 
for even more chase potential. To me it's better for escaping with Evelynn as well. Also, early game pre 6, I like to sneak up behind all the lanes and make them pop In some cases, after they pop , you have some players that stay in lane because they saw you leave. Sneak up on them again and finish them off :) Warning: They may rage at you...It's pretty hilarious. I like rushing 
early on her to snowball hard. I can't wait to try her in S5 ranked. X) I've played 19 games with her within the last 2 weeks, and I've only gone negative twice, even if they were normals. Part of playing Evelynn or any jungle role for that matter is having great map awareness. If someone on your team has a 1 on 1 fight against an enemy and loses, you should be nearby to finish off the enemy and use him/her as your means to snowball.
is fine right now. Her E getting on Hit effects is great.
Start Q
You want to start Red. Smite it, and get a good leash.
Level E and go to Wolves. Kite them into position first with Q while walking closer to Gromp. Once lined up use E and finish up.
Take Blue and back.
Observe your lanes.
if ganks are possible: 
and line up either a Lane Gank or get behind the enemy and gank.
If Ganks are not possible: and keep farming, being attentive of the enemy position
Eve is a bit of a mess right now since she doesnt have such a clear cut set of items she should get with the exception of . being able to switch between the Jungle Tier 2 items while you build is phenomenal for her. Dare I say MANDATORY for her.
always buy when you back. loves Counter Ganking, and aside from Lane Ganks and Pincer Ganks her counter ganks are DELICIOUS. NOTHING is more satisfying than the enemy team stepping forward thinking they have the advantage only to have pop up directly behind that 
who just used Flame Chompers and gets blown up.
is what you are looking at for your Tier 3. 
could be considered if you are snowballing and want to completely deny the enemy their own jungle constantly. Otherwise no.
is your choice when the enemy has a target that is fed. the Skirmisher's smite reduces the damage they deal (great for fed jerks like 
) , reveals them (hold that 
) and lets you deal more damage to them.
is what you want to get that chasing potential on top of your Ult, and your 
Mostly it is her blue buff side start that is weak, her red buff side clears are quite good after making E apply on hit effects for the krug smite buff (so much so that I have done a full clear of all the camps without backing, though it is hard to pull off consistently, while starting blue side it is a struggle to get four camps if you want to... and you will need to if they go through with the price hike on the first upgrade). Which is not good, because having a unpredictable starting location is how you avoid counter-jungling.
