Evelynn, as do most champions with stealth, simply scale horribly into late game. Her ratios are AP, but has AS steroids. The problem is stealth is very hard to counter early game, even for pros when gold income is low during those early levels. To compensate, Riot has balanced them out by making them less important late games, thus they rely heavily on snowballing. But late game, it's rare that a professional team doesn't at least have one person carrying an oracles around. And once teams start grouping up, Evelyn is simply irrelevant because she has no damage or cc. The problem with Evelynn is she also has a very bad early game since she lacks lane ability. She was once more viable during the "roamer" meta awhile back. But the meta's changed since then and she's dropped to being one, if not, the least viable heroes in the current meta. But you don't need to take my word for it, you can check sites like lolstatistics.com where it's easy to see she's in the bottom ranges of popularity, win rate and k/d ratio which would all indicate she is currently very UP.
