Is Evelynn completely not viable now?

I'm genuinely struggling with more hardy champs than Evelynn in the jungle. She's virtually unplayable midlane, and the only other place she had to go was the jungle.

Where is she even supposed to go now? How can you release a new Eve skin and yet have nowhere for her to go?

I saw somewhere today that they are planning a rework, probably SIon class one.

Meanwhile she actually looks like a good toplaner. She is pretty sturdy for an assassin, has a good engage and a shield. Also decend escape when things get tight.

I would LOVE to see a link to this.

I've been waiting for a not-awful Eve remake since they buried her in the Yorick patch.

God I hope not. The Sion rework is ass.

I've tried her top. She's a little too fragile, and her passive is somewhat wasted when she goes top lane. :(

I haven't played Evelynn in the new jungle yet but I used to call her the "Jungler for Dummies" so I can't imagine it would be that hard to use her.

Cept that she's probably the worst jungle in the game now with no sustain, early game, or late game lol.

This. She can't survive the new jungle, doesn't scale well enough, and can't get any early power spikes due to inability to farm or gank.

I wasn't implying that Evelynn = Sure Victory.

I was only implying that Evelynn made the basics of Jungling easy for new junglers.

Ganking is easy when you're invisible all the time.

Counter Jungling is less stressful due to her slow removal and, once again, stealth

And she has a spammable ability that can hit multiple people.

You fail to understand... Her kit may be solid, but her design cannot handle the new jungle. She's absolutely crushed. She's never even in a position to gank or roam at all...

even with an amazing leash at golems or red she still can't hit lvl 3 without backing or some amazing kiting. she's just terrible right now

She is not viable but for a good reason.. Her passive needs to have a weakness or limitation to it for the rest of her kit to be buffed. Otherwise she's sadly going to remain this way

Krugs, Brambleback, Raptors, back. item 3706 Gromp, Sentinel, Wolves, rinse and repeat til you hit 6. item 3707 Move on to gank lanes and farm as you can now clear relatively well. item 3146 Then proceed to build tank for a good bruiser build.
It's not perfect, but it is effective.

She is not viable in the current jungle, between mana cost, the harder camps, and the itemization. She can not do anything like she use to.

The jungle itemization is better for her.
