The Evelynn effect; New bottle in jungle

Meddley said "Junglers will have a few options. Starting gold's 500, Hunter's Machete costs 350g (as does Hunter's Talisman, an alternate jungle starting item that gives mana and health regen instead of damage on hit and lifesteal). That then leaves 150g which is enough for either 3 health pots or the new mini flask. That's got 2 charges, each of which restores 100 health, at a cost of 150g. It upgrades (combine cost 250g) into a bigger refillable potion called Hunter's Potion, that holds 5 charges of 60 health/35 mana and gains a charge whenever you kill a large jungle monster."

I am a Diamond Evelynn main that has been playing Evelynn since the days of 4 Sunfire cape/burn champs with invisibility troll build.... after her rework and subsequent hard-raping (Mid Evelynn hard-gutted) that forced her into jungle, her biggest problem in jungle was sustain. This was intended to balance her early game presence by giving her atrociously bad health breakpoints that factored into her decision to try a gank while at 70% HP or clear one more camp before going back. (This was eventually gutted even worse by increasing mana costs on Q and giving W one but I digress)

The short of it is; I have been buying Crystalline Flask for Evelynn for a long time and with it, alongside some red pots when possible, I find her clear and sustain to be very manageable. Of course this sets me back in damage a bit but the long term effect is near immeasrably good. This is precisely my fear.

The new bottle is so well suited for Evelynn that it is almost certainly going to lead to nerfs down the line... unless the regen is utter trash in which case what's the point. I have not tested this change (Obviously) but I am predicting a massive surge in Evelynn success/play after the changes go live... soon after that, another nonsexual raping of Evelynn will occur.

The new bottle is far too suited for Evelynn. Mark my words, the cycle will repeat once again.

I really hope not, shes one of my favorite champions. Also, do you buy flask as a first or second buy?

On first back, buy Crystalline Flask with 3 (possibly 4 depends on how clear went) red pots. You can wait until second back for blue smite item.

Point being; This works very well,making it better will indirectly buff Evelynn which will 100% lead to strong nerfs down the line. The Return of Eve tier... again.
