I saw another Thread like this and decided to share the love

I loved her before the rework, but when i first started back in 2016 she was the first champion i played and i hated her. I always thought she needed a rework and when it was finally announced i was incredibly hyped, in addition when you guys released the teaser i was at work, i took my break for the sole purpose of watching it like 10 times.

I love everything from her Design, both Gameplay and Visual/Audio, i especially love her voice but i think i understand why you don't release her Voice Actor lol

Warwick and Urgot are also favorites of mine now since their reworks but nothing compares to my girl evelynn.

Favorite Things to Do With Evelynn

  1. Watch someone, follow them for awhile, then murder them, the best way to assassinate someone and my favorite way to do so.
  2. Flash under tower at level 6 to kill someone who barely got away from my laner, so much fun.
  3. Stand behind someone, press W and wait for them to walk into their death.
  4. Fail at killing someone then wait about 4 seconds, follow them, they think their safe, they aren't anymore!

I plan to play 1000 more games with her, 10x's what i have right now and main her all the way to Diamond this season! Finally i champion i love so much that i can't stop playing her(Illaoi was my first.)! Love you riot, keep up the good work!

This thread sums up everything I love about the new Eve pretty well.

She is one of those champions that make you feel like a real assassin. Stalk and murder them when they least expect it

RainbowIcee3 votes

the old evelynn was much faster at killing targets they didn't even have enough reaction time. It just depended how you played her but old evelynn had a much quicker burst than the new one. Not saying old one was better ( though for my playstyle it was ) i'm just stating it, also with a item 3135 old Evelyn did a ton of damage to tanks too. Don't diss my oldie :(

Zerenza3 votes

I mained Eve as old Eve first, as in about 3 months before the rework came out i played nothing but Eve as well. I do not agree, old Eve's E might have had better burst than her current E(Debatable) but her W, Q and R are all better for burst than old Evelynn and make 1 shoting someone extremely easy.

Old Eve was a better Tank Shredder though.

RainbowIcee1 votes

how fast you killed people with old eve? i killed in about 1.2 secs and that was only because i'm slow at clicking. My targets died before they noticed they were hit, no indications or anything about their heads i just showed up and bam. Just because you can't pull it off doesn't mean no one else couldn't. "Last 3 months" that says nothing and you saying tank / shredding only indicates you were playing with other's peoples build. Didn't actually dwell into the champion itself to master her your own way. What makes matters worse is that you probably wouldn't believe me if i told you people could kill with Rengar in about 0.5 secs.

.2 secs for me I made my build to maximize damage on her E and when ever I was in range W, E dead Its what got me into eve. Stalk my target wait for a opening 1 shot and leave used my ult as a disengage to let my team advance after I took out my target if it was a team fight.

RainbowIcee1 votes

that sounds like it takes a lot more than 0.2 seconds to pull off tbh

Playful Sadist1 votes

To pull off(get to my target) yes it takes longer. To kill, no they die when I press E. I am talking about old eve. new one can do it with a bit more difficulty.

Wimbledofy1 votes

New eve has a % max health ability. No way old eve can compete with that vs tanks.

Terozu1 votes

Yeah its funny how tanks think theyre safe from her... Then they have no health.

RainbowIcee1 votes

So did old eve though, that was her ult's dmg. That's why people did her ult first in fights.

Wimbledofy1 votes

Wasn't it a current hp not max hp ability? Max hp on a basic ability is much better than current hp on an ult.

koshkyra7 votes

I think shes an amazing champion/rework, really fun, has clear counterplay and feels awesome to play as

Only thing wrong with her is that she gets her spikes even if she misses her Q, which i think is dumb and should be removed with some compensation buffs to her underwhelming E.

1983XL200R1 votes

Agree 100%. Riot has been releasing some champs with some “just in case” mechanics that serve to reward the player for missing skill shots or whatever. I’d love to see some champs that you can show your skills on!

Venging Angel1 votes

There already are those champs - easy to tell the difference between a player which knows their Lee Sin versus one who is faking it. And tbh, we have enough Lee Sins (and those types of players) already out there.

Zerenza7 votes

It is NOT rewarding to miss your Q on evelynn, your Q spikes won't target the champion 90% of the time, i'v gotten pretty damned good at hitting skillshots after maining her as a result.

koshkyra1 votes

.. i didnt say it was rewarding

Zoe's E rewards you for missing it Evelynn's Q forgives you for missing it

Reward implies that you gained something from it, forgive implies that you had minimal losses.

Fishing Boat2 votes

you miss out on like 80% of the ability's single target damage because of the three marks. The ability is garbage if you don't hit it.

1983XL200R1 votes

It might not do as much damage, but it still activates charm which can lead the way to a kill by her other abilities or teammates.

Zerenza2 votes

Ehh i don't think so, but that's because her Spikes are unreliable during a gank, you HAVE to hit your Q on someone or the spikes will hit the nearest enemy, most likely minions(it targets the enemy hit with the initial Projectile, if you miss it targets the nearest enemy.) making it really hard to pull off successful ganks when you miss, so it does punish you, i'v had to burn flash just to keep on someone after missing Q.

I love her E, it does the most damage and is part of the reason her burst is so absurd, Lich Bane+Empowered E= 1k damage good bye cruel world, it's actually getting nerfed(though only a little which i think is fair.

The thing i don't like about her is her Ulti cooldown, it's sooooooooooooooo high lol

Wimbledofy1 votes

not getting nerfed, it already got nerfed.

Zerenza1 votes

Yeah tbh i didn't notice the difference to much, maybe fighting tanks i will but against squishies it does nothing in terms of nerfing her.

But the cd is nerfed hard. If she didn't get spikes with her failed Q she would suffer hard. You have to be in range of the champ for a long time to get max damage with the skills. She already loses damage and cd. If they removed the spikes till you landed a Q they would have to greatly lower the cd.

SHANK LUX MAINS1 votes

Bigger problem is she doesn't have to hit q to charm, shouldn't be able to miss everything and cc the enemy.

Terozu1 votes

If she misses everything and still charms you. Thats on you.

SHANK LUX MAINS1 votes

xd?

she has point and click gapclosers that proc it.

Terozu1 votes

If you let her get that closewithout being charmed, it's on you. That thing has a miniscule range.

Terozu1 votes

Her E was actually nerfed this patch due to it being overpowered. Single handedly made her the best jungler in the game. So idk what you're talking about with "underwhelming".

Wimbledofy2 votes

Well it's underwhelming now. And all the ability is is just a point and click free damage. The ability is just like one of those stat-check things. So it is a bit undwerwhelming. Has low base damage and scales terribly with level. It's like warwick's Q except it has a smaller time frame for when it will follow champs and it doesn't bypass displacements.

Terozu1 votes

Its not underwhelming. It does 6% of max health + 1% for every hundred ap. + base damage. You're right its similar to ww's q. Except it does far more damage, and gives her a large ms buff.

Zerenza1 votes

It should do that damage, i'm okay with the nerf though as it's not too significant and it still makes it a great ability, but you maxx it last so i don't think i'll notice the difference as an experienced player of her. Her winrate should drop to a balance state though, or borderline balanced(I think 49-51%) and that's perfectly fine in my opinion.

The thing that makes it so strong though is it Applies Lich Bane, i've done 1200 damage with that before, though most of the damage was from Lich Bane proc not the ability it'self.

  1. Stand behind someone, press W and wait for them to walk into their death.

This, 100% agreed.

I got mastery 7 playing her purely mid, because I just don't like jungling, but I love the character. Also need to mention her reworked skins - Masquerade is now one of my most favourite skins in the entire game.

Chromatic Eagle1 votes

How does mid work with her?

How does mid work with her?

You don't CS much unless the matchup is favorable, but Q let's you lasthit decent amount of creeps for no cost. Your passive makes you stay pretty healthy and when you're getting fucked, you use W as a scare button (or kill them). E helps you to lasthit under turret. You get alot from roams, as if you were a second jungler - or you pretend you are leaving bot and abuse enemy midlaner that starts pushing because he thinks you roam, get behind him and kill him. If he doesn't start pushing (because he knows you might be somewhere near so he freezes), you actually roam - and if you get a kill in the side lane, it's a win-win, because you don't lose anything mid. Plus you can visit the enemy jungler and reveal his location for your team for free.

I build item 3152 item 3117 item 3100 item 3151 and the rest depending on what I need. Runes: Elecrocute -> Sudden impact -> Eyeball collection -> Relentless hunter and Ultimate hat -> Celerity (unless you are in a niche matchup like Zed, then of course you opt into Inspiration), Cleanse or Ignite based on enemy teamcomp (I don't take Cleanse only if I think I won't use it once in the match).

My winrate with her is rather good but I don't think it's a ranked material, I personally wouldn't risk it because I like to have some utility when behind.

Try dark harvest eve pls ^_^ (if u dont already do it)

Zerenza2 votes

I did, i prefer Electrocute, i don't have to work for the extra damage and i don't like to farm to much. I do recognize it as an option though, it's still really good.

i got 3 shot as a ww with mr late game against an eve. Felt healthy

Evelynn's Allure lower's the enemy champs MR by 35% at max rank. Getting hp wouldve been more effective

Zerenza2 votes

Yep and it's your Second max, so late game she should have 40 MR Pen+35% reduction when Charming, not to mention the bonus from Void Staff(though i often don't get it)

Chromatic Eagle1 votes

You have M6 on her? Teach me.

Zerenza2 votes

Honestly if you want Mastery go play her Mid or Top, but make sure your good enough to completely blowout the competition. In the jungle if you want to win with her go this.

item 1039 item 2031 Starting Items, simple reasoning no reason to explain.

First Back or at level 4-6(After full clear or after a gank or two basically.): item 3113 +item 1001 or item 3311 item 1001 or Jungle Item component(Blue or Red Smite, i take Red Smite.) + item 1001 oritem 3113

Then you farm till 6 should be about 6-8 minutes now, start ganking lanes that are pushed in+lanes that can carry, if a lane is getting camped, countergank or be prepared to do cleanup duty.

Build: item 3100 item 3151 item 3152 item 3742 item 3157 (Not necessarily in that order and you don't get ALL of these items, but i prefer Lich bane first, always.) and finally upgrade your boots to Mobile Boot's for more map presence.

Runes: Domination Electrocute or Dark Harvest+Either Inspiration or Scorcery.

Don't build protobelt or frostfang(since it got nerfed for her)

Build dark seal on your first back, boots, finish your jg item, upgrade boots into sorcs

Don't rush lich bane. Liandry's and Void staff give more damage to your combo with liandrys having a better build path and void staff being a cheaper, faster power spike.

Even a deathcap rush would be better than lich bane, as your Q and ult have giant ratios and by time you finish it your passive will heal you to full health, but I only recommend rushing it if you're snowballing hard.

Zerenza1 votes

Agree with Protobelt, i don't build it often anymore, i tried Frost Fang but i hated it, i just know other's like it so they have to be mentioned.

I don't like Dark Seal as an item, i don't like Sorc Shoes because of the lack of speed(i do plenty damage already.), it doesn't make sense to finish the Jungle Item when it gives no damage and you need to be able to One Shot people, or atleast i like to.

Void Staff is pointless, people won't be building MR that early on in the game, Liandry's is my Second Item always, right after lich bane, though i have built it first.

Lich Bane is incredible because your E applies it instantly, Simple combo for one shotting with lich bane is W+Charm+Q(Hopefully you hit it)+AA+E+R instantly dead(Even Tanks will die to this combo, every single time with no MR.) , go test the damage yourself in a practice game.

DeathCap is a noob trap.

I respect your opinion, but don't agree with it.

Nut on my Butt1 votes

Frostfang was actually really good, so good that it got nerfed. The E nerf wasn't really what hurt Eve in the recent patch, it's lack of frostfang, which is now no longer good on her.

If you're not building sorc shoes because of lack of speed, I can only assume that you are building mobis instead, which is no good because you should be taking relentless hunter as a rune. Taking both mobis and relentless hunter is inefficient because of the soft cap on flat movespeed, and Ravenous Hunter isn't a good option because you get enough sustain from your passive and will be using your full combo at full hp anyway. 18 mpen is the best option, but ninja tabi are also sometimes viable.

Eve has a lot of synergy with the jungle item, as she can proc it twice quickly on jg caps. It increases you clear speed a ton, you have 0 mana issues once you get this, it adds burst to your combo, gives you movespeed, and once you complete it you can solo dragon if the opportunity presents itself.

Void Staff isn't Last Whisper, it still works on base magic resist, but I agree there are better items when people aren't building MR yet, Lich Bane just isn't one of them.

Because of how your combo works, E proc'ing Lich Bane instantly doesn't mean it deals more damage, it typically requires that you have more AP for it to scale before it becomes worth it. Deathcap and Void Staff both add more damage to your combo, even when you spend the cost difference between Lich Bane and Deathcap on extra AP for Lich Bane.

Deathcap is excellent because flat AP is extremely powerful on Evelynn moreso than other ap champs because of her passive scaling and huge ratios.

I've tried it all, this is just what I've personally found the most success with and some other results through testing.

Zerenza1 votes

Well i've found success with my build, i hate Void Staff and Deathcap, both of them are crappy items to me, i never feel strong with them. I have a 55% winrate with evelynn over...80 games as new evelynn so i like what i have now(i had to go back pretty far in my match history to get that.) but i mean, to each his own. I love mobi's it's never failed me, it synergizes with the passive because it's up after a take down at basically the same time allowing for easier escapes.

Void Staff and Deathcap never feel like "Power Spike" items for me, they need more in them to warrant me buying them over all the nice stats of Lich Bane, i like Lich Bane, it never fails me i always deal great damage now i MIGHT buy Deathcap or Void Staff, if i need it but i don't often need it. I think their not good enough.

Here's how the math play's out for me, (Let's assume for this you have Electrocute and Runic Echo's already, level 11, Q max, W max.)

Deathcap Stats AP: 240(That's nice) Echo's Proc: 60+24=84 Q(Initial Missile+ all 3 Q's after): 174+330(the orbs)+522= 1026 that's cool, but the thing is that this takes about 4 seconds. W 35% shred E: 70+9% of Target's maximum health. R: 910 if your target is bellow 30% Total Damage: 1026+910+70+9% of the target's maximum health, that's pretty good, even without electrocute, total will be about 2106+maybe 100, 50% MR its actually 1050 though, but you'll lower their MR to 15% so about 1876.

But the cost of Deathcap is waaaaay to high, 90% of the time, you can't get this. I can definitely understand Void Staff though as it makes you shred through 65% armor, so i'll start buying that more often, maybe even first THEN lich bane, but i'm never getting Death Cap first unless i already have 6 kills or something, even then i might want Void Staff and Lich Bane instead.

Like, i don't want to sit there with Component items for 10 minutes, desperately trying to get kills when there are 2 items that are cheaper than it, that work just as well, deathcap might actually be Overkill, you could use the 3800 gold to get Void Staff+Sheen, now that's OP, and if you already have Runic Echos, it's GG dude.
