With the new patch your Jungling isn't viable anymore. I'll be making an updated Jungling guide for eve. I haven't tried revive smite on eve with new patch but it was very viable before.

Check out my Passive Mundo guide.

Thanks for the feedback! I kinda understand the point of revive, I just feel kinda silly kicking it to the lizard haha. I know you lose nothing for dying... I guess I'll have to play more in a competitive setting to get used to it.

Smite+Revive is not meant to predict your deaths late-game, but to prepare for an intentional death at Lizard in your early jungling phase. Because you die there, you return almost instantly with 400 extra health and a Longsword and you take down Golem with no risk whatsoever. In addition, your opponents are thrown off psychologically because they underestimate you and also because your death gave them nothing whatsoever in terms of gold or experience. Smite+Revive Evelynn is faster than just about any other jungling Eve and probably deadlier.

Revive = for the mastery. You get over 1thousand hitpoints when you suicide to red buff to Revive for the mastery (+400 HP for X amount of time). Really makes her an effective jungler, although she is predictable.
