When it comes to Evelynn, people are mostly cynical, so expect them to challenge every last bit of what you say.

If you aren't really high in ELO, she can perform quite well. And when I mean really high, I'm talking 2k ELO and up. People assume that because pros don't play a champ, they are worthless or whatever. A counterexample - Kennen is still used in tournaments even though the community dropped him. Another example - Trundle is used in high ELO to stop invaders because walking into his jungle is suicide for X jungler, whereas the community thinks he is bad or something.

Example that supports my idea - Lux/Renekton that destroys late game. Anivia has shown up because people watched Froggen, totally ignoring the fact that he has been known to do stuff like flash over a wall into the entire enemy team in a bush while Froggen's team was not even THERE, then expect to pwn.

These things do not follow what we expect, and Evelynn doesn't follow our expectations, either. Yes, she does not make it into 2k ELO, but she can, with a SMART summoner, make it very close.
