Hope you enjoy her! She's a great champion to practice the assassin playstyle.

I'll try and add some common / dangerous matchups soon. Thanks for the suggestion. <3

Edit: Added a bunch of matchups & synergies to the cheatsheet.

It's viable, but I don't think Evelynn gets as much use out of the rune as other champions. If you want to run it it's good enough that it won't really cost you games or anything. Feel free to go with your gut.

They're both basically scaling pages so either works fine. I tend to buy boots pretty early in the game so I'm not a fan of waiting up to 12 minutes for them. Damage only becomes redundant once you're already fed, so if you don't snowball super hard early, you'll make good use of the AP from the sorcery runes.

Thank you, I'm glad it helped. :)

Personally I find E max to be pretty weak. You get 15 damage per rank with a basic cast, or 25 damage with an empowered cast. You get a total of 100 extra damage to your overall burst, assuming you use an empowered E and you're at least level 13. I don't feel like 100 magic damage (which will be mitigated more if you aren't shredding the target's MR with W) is really worth paying 4 skill points.

Compare that 100 magic damage to the 400 range, 4s cooldown, 10% MR shred and double charm duration from maxing W. Maxing W also gives you 200 more damage against monsters (not a huge deal but it's a nice bonus).

You can max E second and still perform fine, but I don't really feel it adds much kill potential. In most cases I either heavily overkill my targets or they have enough health and MR that I can't reliably one-shot them without W anyway. The edge cases of needing less than 100 damage to secure a kill don't seem equal to the benefits of the W range, duration, cooldown and shred.


This is only half-true. You can get the majority of your damage off within 1 second, but you can't get all 4 Qs off plus empowered Lich Bane autoattacks in that period. A longer charm duration means you can get multiple Lich Bane procs off and, more importantly, your team can help you finish off whoever you're focusing.

In many cases I'll use W on an enemy frontliner/diver who tries to engage on my team so I can CC them once they've committed to fighting. In cases like that, the extra second of charm isn't wasted at all.

Are you getting your buffs stolen (or dying) really early on? Like level 2 or 3? Or are you talking about more general counter-jungling like people invading and fighting you or stealing camps throughout the game?

First of all, if you're having trouble with Nunu & Willump specifically I'd just ban him. He's insanely frustrating to deal with as a jungler and most of the time he'll just make it really hard for you to impact the game.

If it's early counter-jungling you're having issues with. Try starting at one of your buff camps (with a leash) and then immediately rush to the other one and clear it as quickly as you can. If you can secure both buffs, it's not as bad if you have to give up a small camp since you can just go elsewhere (maybe to the enemy jungle) and make up that lost farm. Evelynn isn't the greatest duelist, so if your allies can't collapse on the enemy jungler, you'll often need to retreat from direct fights early unless you have a health advantage.

If you're talking about general invades throughout the game, the solution is less simple but it gets easier the more vision you have. If the enemy jungler invades your side of the jungle (when you aren't present), you should take his camps if possible. If he invades you directly to contest a camp, then you fight if you have the support of your nearby laners or you retreat and give up the camp if you don't. Like with the early invades, you can try and find an enemy camp to steal instead. For example if the enemy jungler walks up to your raptors and takes it in front of you, you can try and walk around to his raptors and take them if they're up and he doesn't contest them. Sometimes you'll just lose a camp though, which isn't the end of the world.

The best thing you can do is place better vision. Deep stealth wards in the enemy jungle are a good way of seeing invades or ganks coming ahead of time. They'll also help you counter-jungle if the enemy jungler shows elsewhere on the map, since you'll know which camps are up. Buy Control Wards as well and place them in bushes near your jungle entrances if you're having trouble getting invaded.

Hopefully some of that helps you. If I didn't address the problem you're having, just let me know and explain the situation a bit and I'll try to help. Unfortunately, Evelynn's a bit on the weaker side when it comes to fighting enemy junglers, so sometimes you just get bullied a bit early and have to make up for that deficit with well-timed ganks, especially after get lvl 6.
