Evelyn question

So I know a while ago last year everyone did more AD Evelyn instead of AP. Did they nerf her AD scaling so AD isn't viable anymore?

I dont recall any nerfs to her AD scaling. HOWEVER, many of the items that are AD do less overall AD than they did before. So if she builds AD she dose less damage.

Its one of the things that kinda hurt Urgot, hes an AD castor type champ, his ratios stayed the same, but items have less AD, while having to contend with 1K crit ADCs still.

The AP itemization gives lots of utility and defensive options like extra HP and movespeed. Its a matter of fewer viable builds if you want to win. Those builds are AP only atm if youre going to impact the match meaningfully.

My favorite was hybrid AD/AP Eve and worked cause I did mixed damage making only an armor and mr stacking tank could stand up to my sustained damage.

item 3930 item 3074 item 3146 item 3116 item 1305 my last item was up in the air being one of these 4 item 3285 item 3153 item 3078item 3031 based on my needs in the match, sometimes I would have to sub a defensive item. Sometimes I even built the old item 3124 cause it had a place on her in the AD/AP hybrid build.

That shredded through my opponents late game, it was a mix of burst and sustained, AD and AP. Now I cant build it, late game is an endangered species and failing to focus on pure efficiency means Eve wont be able to do much. Eve got a nerf or two also, that didnt help.

Now I pretty much build item 1402 item 3116 item 3146 item 3089 item 3100 item 1311 as the only option to stick to opponents, and inflict quick damage.

Mixing up your damage types is harder now cause were in the AD META. I know, I know "but if were in teh ADz META why 4 not build AD Eve?" Its because armor is also a thing because of AD META and so when you spend gold on items that essentially only enhance the auto attack portion of Eve, you spend money on something thats probably being countered with armor. Better to spend on AP itemization and utility.

item 3078 is not nearly as good for her anymore with the lack of AP and the reduced % move speed. item 3153 gives less for the cost than it did previously and getting the active from item 3144 takes more gold. Full AD builds have less AD, since the highest AD on items is now 75 instead of 80 (there were some that gave more that 80 previously under certain conditions, they were nerfed too). Most only give up to 65 AD.

Runic Echos enchantment > Warrior Enchant, because move speed and her mana costs were hit to balance against the possibility of getting more mana regen from the jungle item.

item 3116 gives 40% perma-slow if you have enough CDR to reduce Q cooldown to 1 second or lower. Which with W resets and item 3742 + Runic Echos move speed gives great chase down after team fights to get the ace, which can easily end the game.
