Evelynn out of the jg

thecowley··2 votes·529 views

Is it possible to take Evelynn out of the jg and into a lane? With the strong roaming, she has, middle seems like a good choice. I have started playing her quite a bit in jg over last two weeks as ad with bit of tank. I would love to figure out how to play other lanes as well though. Something I want to work on with a lot of champions I own.

The moment you put her in mid is the moment you gimp yourself due to being out ranged by most of mid.

She could maybe be a decent Top Laner. But that would depend on your ability to deal with the likes of Jayce and Darius.

It can be done, but I feel like it will really just feel like you are a jungler who is forced to hold mid, ... for the whole laning phase.

I'm sure it could work out fairly well if you know how to play her really well, especially when to stay and when to roam.

I guess one positive way of looking at it is you will most likely force your mid opponent to buy a lot of pink wards and you can just farm them lol.

They waste 75 gold and you gain 30 (and 40 exp)

Your detection box covers most of the lane though. How will you force pink wards?

They will still want to know when you are nearby. You can absolutely be in lane or near the lane without them seeing you.

It may or may not happen often, but it is still far more likely than with pretty much every other champion.

But you will be trying to get cs...

So cs...

The only thing that her camouflage will honestly be good for is mana sustain, avoiding harassment while not csing, roaming, and making the enemy think you are roaming.

While csing, you won't be camouflaged anyways, so don't worry about it.

But, you will want to drop into camouflage occasionally for the reasons mentioned above, or at the very least the enemy laner will anticipate that you will, so they are likely to buy and use a control ward.

It actually helps to make up for some of the difficulty she will have trying to farm due to her inferior range.

And again, I'm definitely not saying that this is a GOOD pick. I am just saying that it is possible and these are some of the advantages/disadvantages she has.
