Get control wards to help since she can be spotted by them. Also a more general tip, anytime you have invisible junglers you want to ward their camps so you know where they're at and which lanes they can gank.

nothing is more infuriating to an Evelynn player than walking up for a gank and immediately turning around because you see a pink ward

but on the same coin experienced Evelynn players will take more unorthodox routes to get to you just because she's invisible dont think she won't use the same bushes as everyone else, i even hide in the middle of the lane constantly walking just out of sight of the enemy

Pick somthing with escapes and stay save and dont go in a 1v1 if yopu dont know you can kill your enemy instadly. And also just ward

I've been playing Evelynn 7 years and tend to do very well against her, here are my tips to help you destroy Sexy Smurfette;

1- Invade her early, invade her often (If you're jungling or a particularly aggressive mid that has good waveclear). Evelynn has, for my money, the worst early gamer clears in the game. This means she not only clears fairly slow, but she also takes heavy damage during the process, it isn't until her third clear that she can do it without taking massive damage.

2- Ward THE JUNGLE CAMPS. NOT THE BUSHES. This is death to an Evelynn, if you cast.... say Morgana or Brand's W while she's doing raptors, it will ruin her time. Another good example of this would be characters with longer range attacks like Xerath or even Pantheon. This gives you a very good idea of where she is at all times, whereas bush wards do not.

3- Buy Magic Resist; I know this should be obvious, but a lot of people are under the mistaken idea that Evelynn is a true hybrid, she is not. The bulk of her damage is magical. She has to go 100% AD to barely do 55%/45% physical/magical damage. Hybrid puts her magic damage way above physical and obviously AP is almost entirely magic damage.

4- Stay together. Evelynn cannot assassinate two people at once unless she's heavily fed. That Annie support, have her hold a stun and wait in a bush while you slowly wave-clear to bait her blue ass. Then stun--->autoattack--->dead.

5- For the love of god, stop trying to use purple wards in easily counter-able places. Ex: The bush near upper bot lane , next to the exploding plant, assuming you are on upper side, put it as close to your turret as possible. The point is not vision but to be able to defend the ward if the time comes... and if the enemy is playing aggressive, it's bait . Evelynn is near. Either way don't rely on purple wards, watch your positioning and look for cues in enemy behavior. Evelynn has no stun/slow (Aside from ultra long CD ult) so she needs her teammates more than most junglers. And FFS don't blind push against an EVelynn.....

6- If for whatever reason, you fail to heed 1 through 5, just hit her back, DO NOT PANIC. Evelynn does not have the worst defensive stats like Zyra, but she's definitely bottom 5 , even with her ult shield, her base defensive stats are very low, I believe the lowest of any assassin (?) not sure but if not the lowest, definitely one of the bottom 3. Evelynn's scaling is also very poor and has been nerfed many times, so as long as she isn't wildly ahead of you or , like me, has both ignite and one of the two damage smites plus ult, you will almost always beat her in a 1 on 1 duel; However if , for example, she has challenging smite, ignite and ult up... and you're alone... you're basically fucked even if you're even with her or she's behind, the advantage is so huge that only the most powerful duelists can win that.

If they ever re-work Evelynn, the change I'd like is for Ravage to be NOT garbage, give it armor/MR shred like it used to have so she can actually win duels against competent duelist. But anyway the best tip is map awareness but what I just mentioned is all very good.

If you want to know serious hard counters, the following champions; As Evelynn I find it nearly impossible to play against and have to be ultra careful to win; Nocturne Fiora Illaoi Zed MonkeyKing MasterYi

Everyone else either comes down to a skill match-up or is favorable for you.

The following champs are a fking joke that you can easily feed off of as long as you know your timing and positioning; Jinx Lucian Ashe Ezreal Sona Jhin Graves Karthus

Above all else; Be careful of Nocturne, he is your hardest counter of all..... even if you go item 3157 , HE CAN FEAR YOU THROUGH/AFTER INVULNERABILITY (WTF?).

Evelynn's jungle clear speed is pretty decent before her first back, certainly better than Nocturne, MasterYi and MonkeyKing that you listed, and she can escape with most of her health by doing everything except Golems. In fact, if someone wants to early invade her, I'd suggest going from buff to buff and try and kill her on either Golems or Blue buff.

Also I don't know how you can consider any jungler you listed as a counter, as Evelynn can easily invade them early on, because she has faster jungle clear and better burst at early levels, unless she gets behind somehow (fail gank or whatever). I guess each one of them can beat Evelynn 1v1 mid to late game IF they are even and both have full hp and cooldowns, or at least can escape her burst. But that's the case with most junglers.

But you list Graves as a joke? I don't know what matches you're playing but, a good Graves will not let you invade and kill him in his jungle. And if he somehow can grab a kill before you do, you will never beat him. Although you could cheese him with ignite, if he's stupid enough. I'd say it's even and possibly favorable under certain circumstances.

True counters, as far as junglers go, I would say are JarvanIV Ivern LeeSin and possibly Warwick. These champs can easily invade her and can run her off her jungle and deny her early-mid game. Some also tend to scale better than her. Shaco is pretty annoying as well.

Compared to who exactly? every top tier jungler clears faster than Evelynn, and at a SIGNIFICANTLY lower HP/mana cost as well.

I don't know how you can consider any jungler you listed as a counter, as Evelynn can easily invade them early on

And then she gets destroyed 1v1.

Evelynn's early damage is atrociously bad, her sticking power is weak and of course, she has no gap closer/disable. She is no match 1v1 against any of the ones I mentioned. Who are you playing against that is somehow terrible enough to get bullied by early game Evelynn? early game is Evelynn's weakest moment.

Top tier junglers currently are Graves Rengar Ivern Shaco Hecarim and LeeSin , right? With the exception of Ivern LeeSin Shaco ( and possibly Rengar, because I have never used this champ and rarely play against him) , she can clear as fast as them, assuming you don't clear the golems and, like I said, can escape with most of her health if you kite correctly (again, unless you clear the golems). She also clears faster than MonkeyKing Nocturne and MasterYi that you mentioned. She has enough burst to invade and kill most junglers that have slower/even clears to her.

Are you telling me that you fought a MasterYi at level 4 and he killed you?

And when exactly is "then"? at level 6?12? You shouldn't fight anyone 1v1 pre 6 as Evelynn, unless you plan to invade them or you catch them with low hp at the river, and, like I said, if you are even with the enemy jungler post 6, you probably won't win the 1v1 if you both are full hp with cds. Your job as Evelynn isn't to 1v1 the enemy jungler mid to late, unless you are significantly ahead, so I don't know why would Nocturne MonkeyKing MasterYi be a problem. There is no way they would invade an Evelynn or chase her early in the game. She can avoid them with her passive and correct pathing. The only reason to be scared of them is when 2 or 3 of your laners are losing hard and the opponent has easy access to your jungle. If this ever happens, you've probably lost if you play as Evelynn anyway, no matter the opposing jungler.

Champs that counter her are the ones that can slow her momentum and can kill her in her own jungle and/or have high mobility, not the ones that can 1v1 her at mid/late.

Also don't be afraid to fight her. She might gank you at level 2 or 3, but she likely isn't full health and you can pick her off and Flash for your escape. This isn't always applicable since it's likely to be a 1v2, but so many people Flash the moment she even gets within range.

pinks and deep wards like with zac. instead of warding river or near dragon ward her buffs(generally so you can see buff+1 camp).

Prepare for an easy win. Evelynn is typically a crap pick especially in low ELO
