Seriously, it's great! Just went 22/10 as Evelynn mid.. sadly we lost, because team threw :/ but I've played it a lot more. From what I've observed: Pros: -Safe laning phase -Great waveclear -Great damage after early game -Passive is great for roaming -Good pushing ability -Reliable escapes (passive and W) -No mana issues
Cons: -Squishy -Passive isn't used most of the time
Anyone else have experiences with Evelynn mid?
Mafia LeBlanc2 votesI've been spamming Evelynn Mid for the past 30 or so games, and I've climbed four divisions. She's a consistently powerful champion, and I'd argue that she's much better in mid or top than she is in the jungle. It's far easier for her to get gold for items she needs to make an impact when she's not completely dependant on ganks.
She's going to make a massive comeback soon - OP is right that she's sleeper OP. She's got a very powerful kit, even without the stealth -- you can build her AP or AD, tank or assassin. She fits every teamcomp and can be put in any lane. She also has high burst and sustained damage, and even has AOE and sustain in a teamfight by nearly doubling her HP from her shield.
Her stealth is probably going to go if she gets looked at by Riot again, because she still has a solid kit even without it. I've been an Eve main since beta through all of her iterations, and she's quite powerful right now, but tbh she's always been a strong champion, even after they gutted her and left her nerfed for a year.
It's all about the community perception of her - and times like right now when she's largely ignored is the time to really focus on playing and getting good with her. I've learned to use the community's silly mentality of only listening to what they do in LCS to my advantage because nothing I say or do will convince anyone that she's not garbage tier right now, much like it's impossible to convince anyone that LeBlanc isn't the most retardedly OP champion that has ever been in this game (lol), but I can guarantee that she will be complained about in a few months' time with zero changes to her kit.
When she does get picked in LCS though, she will appear in every single solo queue game until people cry and get her destroyed again for like the fifth time now. Then I have to go back to LeBlanc and be screamed at for playing her because I'm sure in a few months, LB will be garbage tier again to the community.
Rico Nasty1 votesi know how you feel man D: but thanks for the advice! :)
Linna Excel1 votesWell she's laned in the past and makes for a good ganking mid. She's a bit short ranged which is an issue. Another issue is I think people would rather build her as a tank and that lends her more to jungling.
Phuc Dat Bich1 votesno mana issues? loooooooo0o0o0o0o0ol Evelynn have one of the smallest mana pool and her kit cost way too much mana!! that one of her problem in the jungle atm....
Second when rito nerf the Q speed and range it pretty much destroy her ability to harass in mid lane range poke champs!!
third her kit is semi AP semi AD so in order to have both of the ratios on you need the 26AP/8.5AD/9armor rune page that mean you have no MR so the AP mid laner would destroy you!!
forth you are melee and squishi any AP assasin would destroy you special pre 6
That a small list of the reasons why..
