Evelynn = New Goddess of the Rift

WitchQueen Annie··2 votes·1,052 views

I present to you Evelynn, the new ultimate weapon on Summoner's Rift.

3-4 damage abilities (impossible to miss with some basic training), charm CC for effective Ganks, near permanent invisibility post 6, complete with a short range medium detonation AOE nuker complete with a blink/invulnerability get out of jail capability.

We are talking about a super attack submarine on the rift here.

With 3-4 games... the DREAM IS NOW POSSIBLE.

In the hands of a Bronze she can be played to stomp Silvers. Silvers will be able to fight it with Plats, Plats will be able to reach godhood.

This is the ULTIMATE WEAPON to stomp disorganised Solo Q. Imagine a group of 5 fools trying to constantly outplay a weapon armed with near permanent invisibility, 3-4 damage abilities, hard CC, and a mass AOE damage variation of a Vladimir Pool.

THE TIME HAS COME!

You will either stand with the Queen of Invisibility... or be destroyed. There is no other option. CHOOSE.

There is no more reason to pick Rengar, Nocturne, Master Yi or anyone else...

EVELYNN IS THE NEW QUEEN OF THE RIFT!

Agree?

Actually her kit itself prevents her from ever being god tier. Her only escape is her ult, her only CC has a delay, her damage purely relies on stealth and her combat capabilities rely on catching out targets alone.

All of which are basically void when the enemy team sticks together.

True god tier junglers always have some form of combating a teamfight situation whereas Evelynn's always struggled to do so without needing to burn her ultimate, as well as upfront CC whereas hers is a lot more reliably as a followup.

http://euw.op.gg/summoner/userName=ramyskie Can't 1 vs 5, so you are wrong. Easily countered by having 4 free walking treasure pot for enemy team to farm from. When a full combo can't obliterate a 5 item Vayne, it is over.Even worse, enemy team get fed before you hit level 6, u are level 5 and they have killed your team 20 times.

As much as I wish..... no.

She is one of the slowest moving champs on the rift unless she has item 3117 , which are only good for engages but often stuck at followup once a fight starts.

Her ganks are completely voided by laners who don't know how to freeze lanes, yet somehow expect her to carry them.

Her group fight is lackluster, and eventually every game gets to group fights. Unless a 30% champ is leading the pack and thinking nothing of it, Eve is not going to do well in those situations.

Teams are notorious for NOT killing pink wards.

Evelynn's power spikes do not match up with game snowballs (When you are an Evelynn jungler, you often have laners feed 5-8 kills before she's even level 6-7. Evelynn engaging those laners at that point is not wise, because their output and sustain are greater.

What I don't think you realize is..... although Low elo League is plagued by disorganization, over time, the mechanical skill level of low elo players has risen. When a team NEEDS to, they do group, do ward, and are prepared for a champ like Evelynn ganking them. They may not ward at all or group at all in non Evelynn games, but it's always a seeming miracle when Evelynn is in play. They have their 5 pinks up, your team does not. They group. Your team tries to 2v5 that group, and then bishes at you.

A good Evelynn will always get a positive KDA.... but that doesn't mean they carry. That just means they put a few people on ress. She is not good at taking Barons, mediocre at Drake, horrible at lane pushes.

Once her team/Other team takes over jungle, she effectively stops gaining much gold. She can't beat an adc at clearing her jungle, or any aoe melee clearer for that matter. the setup to clear just takes too long. And in lane she has to take 2 second pauses just to reset E. So even if she managed 110 CS early game, the last 10-15 minutes of a game, she's lucky to get 30-40 more cs.

In other words, if she can't get CS..... and can't get kills because team grouping is superior for the other team, ..... she's going to lose.

This keeps her from being a low elo champ.

In High elo where people are more cautious and coordinating, she has a place. She plays into their dynamic. All she does in low Elo is pull off cheap tricks but usually not win.

Okay, but then...

How is Rengar or Kha Zix any better?

I mean if your laners lose all across your screwed as ANY jungler (except maybe Master Yi if the enemy team is REALLY Bronze).

I don't see Rengar or Kha Zix doing a whole lot better if their laners all lose really fast and they get zoned off their own jungle. Isn't that just the general state of the meta?

Eve still has better early ganks than either (imo anyways I might be wrong). You walk into a lane with an immobile ennemy laner, press Charm and then walk towards them to launch Q (they either get caught or they Flash... or try to sidestep and hopefully gets hit by your laner).

At level 6 and beyond her invisibility gives her insane map/angle engage flexibility. Obv no good if your team is way way behind by that point but I feel like that's pretty much the case for all JGs?

Would you rather fight with Eve on your team, or a Kha/Rengar? If Kha/Rengar, then why?

Problem is you walk into a lane. Not engage into a lane. Any decent laners can easily be prepared to evade your ganks easily. Where as the likes of xin/j4/elise are much difficult to avoid as they gap close with a cc. Eve can not gap close, nor an instant cc.

Eve is good in that in the hands of a decent eve, that she can kill enemy adc among enemy team while coming out unscratched/alive. Rengar/kha zix has to commit more than eve needs to be. But that is as far as she goes, her kit is for killing one, where as rengar + kha zix has far more DPS and easier to pull off the combo on multiple players.

Kha/Rengar have item 3074 , active life steal and aoe so they do NOT get shut out of farm. That's the difference. The team does the same things, but they can't shut their own jungler out of farming.

So if a team with Rengar/Kha is horrible, takes over their jungle, they can still cs in lane and at spammable effectiveness.

Kha also has an insanely strong early game, item 3147 , and 1700 range worth of leaps to either gap close or run away. His Invisibility is not detectable at close parameters either, except by towers. His early game jungle dominance makes Evelynn look like a Test Dummy. As long as he uses it, he will never encounter Eve's difficulties. (Isolation is OP).

Rengar has insane gap closers, a root, and an active and constantly accessible reset. He also gets bounties per kill for his passive.

Evelynn gets none of those. She gets a charm which tells people where she is that has a wind up.

Rengar also has active in combat heals. Evelynn does not.

They BOTH have a better early game than Evelynn. Kha just obliterates any jungler in their own jungle. Rengar wins as long as there is a Bush nearby. Kha also transfers that power to lane ganks when a minion wave is missing. They have no wind ups.

Evelynn requires them to be stupidly out of place to get off charms that are effective.

Her stealth is weak. While it's a "safe button," It's the weakest form of stealth, in the fact that pink wards reveal it, and she interrupts it when she farms, and that her W allows people to predict where she's coming from. She also has to be on the veil of being seen before she can activate the charm, and even if not seen, you can pretty much predict she's about to skill as the W charges, and just use a movement skill at that second and destroy any opportunity she had.

Of the three: Evelynn is #3. Rengar is #2 Kha is #1 in threats, and their stats defend this order.

Among players who have played consistently with Kha, those over 200+ games = 62% win rates. That is the highest average of any champ in the game for a 200+ game win rate.

I hope you are joking, pre 6 she has to be one of the weakest duelists in the game and can't even compete for the first scuttler unless the enemy is VERY low on health. She is almost useless in team fights because she is better in 1v1, and relies on her ult for escape, outside of it with her long W+E cds, she can't do much...

Disagree, the only submarine on the rift is Rek'Sai! How dare you attempt to dethrone her and steal her title of submarine!

Yeah I don't play her but I don't know how to counter her. It seems like, as soon as I know she's there I'm dead.

Azadethe1 votes

Try playing her then. within 3 games you'll know how to pick champs to counter her.

I actually run Leona jungle when the other team picks an Evelynn.

Evelynn pulls some of the worst KDAs she's every experienced when I do this.
