@Riot Evelynn's R is unhealthy
This ultimate is more or less something that typical assassins would laugh at. This ultimate does the opposite of what a assassin should do. You can sit there and argue that her ult is meant for initiations, but lets get real, ult's that are meant for initiations are typically better than this. If they are to target a enemy and slow them, it will do so but not limit the damage. If it gives a buff to the champ being played, it typically corresponds well with how it should play out. Who else, in the champion pool, has a ability that does what Evelynn's R does? I know Ekko's W does this (not as great, but it does this). Ekko not only gains a massive (depending on AP) shield, but also stuns the enemy for over a second. This allows Ekko to initiate.
Evelynn can initiate, but its at a bare minimum. I want to say she's the most balanced champion, but its so hard just to play as her. And its very little rewarding. Her only damage spell is her E, and her Q randomly pokes whatever. Her W may give her a speed boost, but it doesn't stop other movement slows after its used. Her passive doesn't even work well anymore. Its true that its about time Riot makes her their next target for a full on rework, but until then she needs something.
I hate to ask for this, but can we compensate (or just give) Evelynn's ult the ability to deal % health damage based on their full health rather than current health. Reason being, its got the longest CD on a ult that shows barely any results.
At the moment, she would only deal 15/20/25% of the enemies full health in damage, making her a real threat. And its hard to believe that this would happen, until you realize that this is a ultimate we are talking about. A ultimate that has a 150/120/90 second CD. If we have to get rid of anything, we can get rid of the shield since she won't have to use it as a initiator.
Another reason is, why is it that if I had this ult at level 3, and I ult someone at 4 health, they only lose 1 health. That's a waist of a ult, and also a waist of mana. It gets even worse when they are at less health.
Kassadin was finally made viable again after a few buffs, can Evelynn be allowed a full health damage ult? You sure as goodness thought it was perfect for Fiora to be able to deal over 100% of our health in damage on her ult.

For boots, I use Boots of Mobility.
The strategy: Start Hunter's Talisman + Refillable Potion. Level 2 cheese invade. Clear your first camp, then go into the enemy jungle and steal the enemy's buff and kill the enemy jungler. Then, take the other camp on that side that wouldn't be gone. Back. Pick up Hunter's Machete and Hunter's Potion. Check whichever buff you stole from the enemy to see if they're stealing it. If they are, kill them and go clear the side you haven't already taken from them. If not, go find them and kill them and clear the side you haven't already taken from them. Back if you need to, then farm your entire jungle to get 6, then gank. Kills and assists from good ganks will snowball you even further. Counter jungle when you can and kill the enemy jungler any time you see him if you aren't too low. For teamfights, you can either run into the front and initiate with your ultimate or wait in the sidelines for the enemy team to initiate, then run in and drop your ult and kill the carry. I recommend the second because it will trick the enemy into believing that they're engaging a 4v5 fight if they don't have a strong initiate comp and the first if they do have a strong initiate comp. If you initiate into them, they lose the element of surprise and your team can back off while they blow valuable cooldowns on you. If they initiate into you, you can assassinate the enemy carry with ease (especially useful if they have someone like a Kog'Maw and are going for a protect the carry comp). She feels a lot stronger when you know the right strategy to use on her than she does if you're clueless, and I certainly don't recommend playing her unless you plan to put in some work figuring out what to do. She's a champion who takes some games and some time to master, but she's so rewarding once you do.
