All right. Let's start with her previous reputation: Good for nothing scumbag. Instant loss. No one wanted Evelynn on their team.

She was reworked, and she was pretty cool, but her complex spells and ratios were difficult to understand. ''Why is there an AS Steroid on her Nuke? Aww man, they doubled the CD on Q but kept the same ratio! WHAT IS THIS, SHE HAS NO MORE STEALTH!? Oh, it's in her passive, but that's hardly stealth. W has too big of a CD, 20sec is rediculous. So wait, Riot wants her to be good late game, but then they hand her a 120sec CD ult at all ranks?''

Now, overall, the Q changes were great. It's like a ranged autoattack early on, minus the windup time. It also made jungle clears much faster. The new passive was interesting. Dark Frenzy had a rediculously long CD (20sec... Ew) so you couldn't even use it between camps like it was intended. Her ult was good, but since people build Evelynn so rediculously squishy, they couldn't find out how to play her - she was either too squishy or didn't fit their taste.

What I think really made her better was the recent changes to the CD on her ult. Granted, the 5sec reduction on W and the unitwalking on the active was helpful, but being able to ult every teamfight is really what made her strong, especially with so many AP Evelynns. Then, she rose in popularity, Shushei played Evelynn in a tournament or something, and then other teams played her, BAM, popular. Builds were devised, playstyles were made, and it turned out that she was a bit strong.

I find it ironic though, that Riot reworks Evelynn so she can jungle much better, but people are very adamant that she's best used in mid lane.
