Stop building Enchantment: Warrior on Evelynn

The obvious being it is probably the most gold inefficient jungle for Evelynn; besides Runeglaive is so much better on her and you can actually build magic penetration on Evelynn again which is her main damage type even with Warrior, the armour pen is a horrible stat on evelynn

Eve does lots of auto attack damage thanks to her stickiness and AS buff, and her E. It is very viable and strong on her, that being said the new Runglaive is so much better.

or her spam-able magic damage nuke--- and i think runeglaive makes her E magic damage again as long as you use it with the runeglaive is available

you can try building more damage with runeglaive; it does scale with damage unlike sheen, trinity, and iceborn

all I did was post the most common build path and the highest winrate.

Just for this, I'm never building any other enchantment on Eve. (Even though I never play her. I WILL REMEMBER THIS!)

Not necessarily, Evelynn sill does a lot of Physical Damage from auto attacks. I don't know about AP Evelynn, but I'm pretty sure AD Evelynn is the only one played in the LCS and was proven better, due to her making much more use out of her E, her Q scaling being the same, and the fact her ult's AP scaling isn't really that noticeable.

The enhancement actually works on Evelynn probably better than a lot of people who get it, the 10% CDR can be utilized by Evelynn much more than most other Warrior-Junglers, due to her spammy style. It works really well with her kit and the extra Attack Damage and Armour Penetration just add onto her auto attacks. The entire enhancement is at least, better than pretty much every other enhancement at the moment on her. Seeing as the Runeglaive one is for AP, and AP Evelynn just isn't as strong as AD Evelynn simply put, there is no reason to choose it. The only other viable one would be Cinderhulk instead of Warrior, due to it making her more tanky. But Evelynn isn't necessarily a tank, she's an assassin. I don't see a problem at all with building her with a few tank items, however she is still all-in-all an assassin and she won't ever match up to the tanky CC gods like Sejuani, Gragas, or even Malphite.

Also, Evelynn doesn't really have any mana issues due to her passive mana sustain. Even if she does, blue buff gives her more than enough and past early game I don't think I really ever get out-of-mana with Evelynn.

Armour Penetration, due to the fact that Evelynn does have most of her damage from auto attacks, is still pretty good on her, but it doesn't change anything about also building something like Sorcerer's on her, since she does both Magical and Physical any penetration will noticeably work.

item 3100 item 3285 item 3115 item 3089 item 3135 item 3146 + Arcane Blade Mastery

E + Q = 260% AP nuke nigh instantly, and then she shifts into a pretty powerful sustained damage pattern Late game she rips things apart pretty quick, but it delays her powerspike quite a lot.

Still her AD counterpart will most likely end up doing more damage if she's built glass cannon.

Her Q + E will still do a lot of damage, but on top of that she will make use of 120% attack speed buff much more, and while she's spamming her abiities her auto attacks will all be added on top of that.

AP Evelynn isn't BAD but there are simply better ways to build her.

higher ap ratios; evelynn never actually autos unless jungling - she relies on Q spam for damage

A Miss Fortune1 votes

Actually, her Q has higher AD ratios, and she auto attacks a LOT, her E gives her a huge burst with extra auto attack damage and one of the biggest attack speed buffs in the game with 120% attack speed for 3 seconds. That's insane and I think only matched by Tristana because her's is only extended a bit longer, not because the attack speed bonus is bigger.

Her E ratios are the same, except it does more damage if AD because of the attacks peed buff.

Her ult ratio is just 1% more damage for every 100 AP, which isn't much. Personally I don't really use the ult for damage, the slow and the massive shield is great, but the damage isn't that noticeable since most of it can easily be mitigated.

Sorry, but there's literally no reason to professionally play AP Evelynn over AD Evelynn. Aside from maybe Rylai's works really well with her, even then I've slipped an AP item into an AD Evelynn build before.

(By the way if you rely on Q spam for damage, you obviously don't know how to play Evelynn)

Good luck getting to late game. AP Eve scales so god damn slow and by the time you are doing good damage, your team has usually lost.

would not build that much damage, she is still a melee champion

The sheen passive from runeglaive will already be more than the bonus damage on auto attacks as long as evelynn has mana.

Stacona1 votes

runeglaive has not been released yet - you are basing her building an item over an item where one item did not exist

BakedLotion1 votes

Her E is physical damage

Stacona1 votes

Q is magic damage damage and her damage output, not to mention runeglaive is magic damage
