Talk:Evelynn/@comment-146.129.242.84-20120315172437

I thought I'd see some Evelynn fanatics talking about how to build her and win, since they want to defy the stereotype that people have about her. I just commented a bit ago on the Shaco page about my dissapointment there, so I don't want to repeat it for EVERY SINGLE PAGE this wiki has, it's quite a ways down by now, but at least the comments after it aren't as bad as the ones before it.

I'm still experimenting with Eve, but things I would like to note: She has high base armor, good mres, smallish hp/lv, and a very small mana pool with high cost moves. As such, I build Sheen then t1 boots and Glacial shroud. You get money from killing people, so make sure that Vayne/Ezreal (Those are great laning partners for Evelynn) you're laning with knows you, or you miss out on a lot of kills. NOTE: Evelynn should build at least 1 tanky item or the person you're trying to assassinate might kill you. You want to get the largest portion of this item after Sheen. (Catalyst for Banshee's Veil, Galcial Shroud for Frozen Heart, etc.)

Then you should be doing fine, but they will be getting quite tanky soon, so you want to get AP (Not MPen, they don't stack MR or get FoN this early, unless it's Galio, and he isn't your chief concern). Your dmg item should be something in this list: Mejai's (Obviously conditional, you'll sell this later), Rabadon's, Lich Bane (Only if you rune a ton of AP/LV), Abyssal Scepter (Vs. Casters like Kassadin). I have tried Hextech Revolver, but for the same Reason as LeBlanc, this is for later in the game and a different type of Evelynn. OK, so you're wondering "What about my tanky item, what am I to do with this?" By now, chances are, they hurt you, and you just have to finish building it to solve this dilemma. If you don't have Rabadon's by now, get it. If you got if for your dmg, then get one of the other items for dmg listed earlier with the same reasoning. Lich Bane is much better by now, as you have more AP. If you did NOT build a Frozen heart (Because their AD does not exist or is without farm or levels or assists or kills), then you should build either Deathfire Grasp (Plan this out earlier) or Morello's Evil Tome, that CDR is heaven.

This is partly speculation, but I HAVE tried an early Glacial Shroud (Even though my laning enemies were AP for some reason...) and it rolled faces. Looking back, I would say only get Glacial Shroud early if you're winning by a good amount. Yet again, I'm still experimenting, so I'm going to try RoA if Glacial Shroud fails. Why not Rylai's? Mana. You are so rediculously mana-hungry early game that people say Evelynn cannot lane. I'm having lots of fun though!
