Why not go Warrior over Runeglaive on Eve?

It may just be because Runeglaive was overnerfed and/or Warrior being OP, but I swear AD Eve with Warrior is significantly stronger than AP Eve with Runeglaive at the moment.

Last game, I built item 3111 item 1400 item 3025 item 3124item 3102 item 3144 . I was definitley doing more damage than an AP Eve would, and the item 3025 is a solid replacement for Rylai's permaslow AND Runeglaive's sheen affect. I went with a typical AP Eve jungle mastery page: 12/18 with thunderlord's. Maybe if I went for an AD Eve page it would've turned out even better.

But, let's take a look at her ability's scalings. Runeglaive offers 40 AP, 10% CDR, and 250 mana. Warrior offers 60 AD and 10% CDR

Hate Spike scales off 55% AP at max rank, and 70% AD at max rank. With RG she gains 22 damage, and on Warrior she gains 42 damage, almost double, and the gap is more apparent considering Hate Spike has 1 .5 second cooldown.

On Ravage, RG gives 40 damage, and Warrior gives 60, 20 damage more.

So, Warrior offers significantly more damage on Eve's abilities, 20 More AD than Runeglaive's AP, at the exchange of 250 mana and the sheen proc. That might seem even, but also keep in mind Eve is doing 60 more damage on her autoattacks, and you can get another sheen item since Eve is good with ALL sheen items anyways.

Yet, I still see people INSIST on going Runeglaive over Warrior, all the time on Eve. Why?

The sheen effect that early in the game. That's really the only reason, dmg output early helps her snowball the game. I'm still playing her ap bruiser and abusing rylai atm, but I'm finding it less satisfying than its been for the last 6 or so months. I'd switch build and playstyles again but I love that rylai peel.

People build runeglave on eve? I've honestly never seen that. I've always built ad on her. Average build: item 1400 item 3153 item 3102 item 1320 item 3110 and some other defensive item depending on enemy team.

AD Evelynn is terrible.

Try this build before you call it bad.

That's more of a tank build than AD.

More so AD Tank really. It's how she was pretty much built in season 4.

Yes, it is. But you pump out so much damage from staying alive for so long is amazing. Try it out. :)

Everyone's like 'AP evelynn op' Bruh. item 1412 item 3072 item 3812 item 3074 item 3153 item 3117 Legit 1v1 anyone with infinite mobility,survivability,and op ganks. Every time i've played her,80% of the time i end up going 5/1 early game. Also have any of you actually tried AD evelynn?

You should have won the game before finishing that build. Also you can't expect to be 1v1ing that many people in the late game if the other team is grouping up.

I do win games before that build. Also that's what evelynn's ult is for,in the late game, the sustain and shield should give enough time to kill at least 2-3 people.

Warrior vs Runeglaive is a bit weird in that most AP items have bigger raw numbers than AD items.

I'd say runeglaive is better because you don't have to devote a second item to the sheen effect. Your full build is pretty hard to finish in the jungle, especially on a quicker match.
