Evelynn missing stealth pre 6 is more bad than good

"She was hard to balance."

You had to make use of "opportunity" early on only to have any relevancy latter till mid game, then to fall off late game.. even a 20 / 0 / 13 Evelynn could not always end the game. It was proven statistically her win ratios were were very low towards the 35 - 40 + min mark and peaked around 20 min this is how an early game champion is supposed to be she was always early and if she died in the jungle she fell back immensely behind in games.

Using the charm pre 6 is way too telegraphed, there is no element of surprise, her ganks are nearly nonexistent and too much opportunity is wasted since she isn't invisible for them its like "hey i see you man what are you planning to do?" maybe in a bronze match rework eve pre 6 could be devastating.

Opportunity is huge pre 6 your jungle opponent is always capable of making crazy mistakes now she cant capitalize on those mistakes.

the health regen though makes her amazing. if she were to have both it would prevent any sort of early game strategy against her. she can actually mid and counter jungle somewhat while in lane.

Didn’t her pre 6 stealth take a large chunk out of her power budget?

Riot described Eve as being week early, so I don’t think she’s supposed to be ganking often pre6.

Eve doesn't need her stealth right away. At the early levels you'll likely be going for flanks anyway, so the only escape option is towards you. That gives you time to charge your charm and pop it before they run. Her early game clear is really strong now, so you can use that to your advantage. Only gank when you see someone overextended.

At 6 she becomes an ambush style assassin. You position out of their vision and proc your charm so they panic and run away. But you're already waiting there and you can E to pop the charm for an instant Q and 3 hate spikes. You can ult from there and likely get a kill. Her stealth isn't important early because now she has more damage and hard crowd control.
