Hi!

I'm the main of and the OTP midlaner, but I hate playing jungle. At the beginning I want to tell you that I have devoted a lot of time to making such a detailed guide, and I have plans to expand it later, so if you like it, you can rate it positively :)
Recently, I was interested in Evelynn, and I noticed that it can be intended for midle lane. I tried to find some guides, but their number was negligible, they were out of date, or just plain weak, so I decided to make a tutorial by myself for people who would also like to try this unusual pick :))

I would like to point out that I am not in diamond or master, and I usually play for fun, anyway, I am going to try it on ranked, I am going to try it on ranked, currently I play ranked flex and I got silver.

I also suspect that evelynn, unfortunately, works up to a certain rank, I know that my opponents and I make a lot of mistakes during the game, and me can be wrong in many ways, but I'm also not the one Yasuo who does 0/10 in mid 🙂

Is that a troll pick?

Well...
Soo, looking at Eve, it is AP assassin with powerful spells, a lot of people say that playing positions other than jg wastes her potential, however I have a lot of fun by oneshoting my opponents by off-meta pick
Although her passive and charm are more less valuable on the mid lane than in the jugle, she is still great for holding the opponent down or attacking with no pressure.

Changes:

Patch 12.13

"P Heal per second (total healing unchanged): 15-75 (based on level) >>> 15-150 (based on level) - W Magic Resistance Shred: 25-35% >>> 35-45% - R: Now sets passive on a 1.25s cooldown."
Now Evelynn can easly trade in middle lane, and her 1.25s on a R gives easy running away from enemy.

Patch 12.14

A lot of healing items and runes got nerfs, now you should play safer to not lost to much hp, but it is still playable.

I want to point out, it isn't pick like AP zeri, or chemtank akali before nerfs, if you play Evelynn on mid, you should focus on wave management, positioning, trades more than you would play normal midlaner. I don't play it, beacuse it's broken in every game, but just for fun.

Passive - Actually Demon Shade is unlocked at lvl6, and it gives you camouflage and you can be invisible (Within the selected range from players or control wards). Besides, if you will enter in this shade, your E cooldown will be reset. Remember that your Hp will regen when is below a certain level (it works from first level, but At the beginning it is very small, but depending on your AP you can heal even 100%).

Q - Hate Spike allow you to push minions, if you hit player by first spike, then your next three attacks give more demage to him. Mana cost is low, so you can use it often to trade. When you use W on something, you can charm it easily by this spell. After use, you can do it again by three times, but then you don't need stay, so you can poke enemy when you running without staying in place.

⁣⁣

W - Allure is a mark, after 2,5s hitting enemy will charm (if you hit player), what decreases magic resist of it. you can also scare on the line by throwing W, for example you have to kill the minion, because in 90% of cases he will move away, expecting that you will attack.

E - Whiplash is short dash, dealing percentage demage based on AP, gives you 30% move speed too. If Evelynn reset coldown by your passive, then this spell is improved.

R - Last Caress is your the most powerful spell, damage +180% AP is totally broken in late, until you have high skill power it can be hard for you to oneshot from a single combo, but if you poke enemy enough, then your R gives you a clean kill, but use it reasonably heaving high coldown.

Early:

Play safe and wait to 6lvl (if you go into a risky trade you can easily die it and be weaker in late, I was quite often flustered because being greedy I started a fight which ended up being first blood for the enemy), because your R gives evelynn big powerspike and easy way to run away, then you should roam. Evelyn is invisible and is assasin what make good combo for getting free kills on top or bot. If you have good KDA you can buy Mejai's to snowballing the game. Your R getting +180% AP demage, so you will be monster in late after good start.

Mid:

There is much more experience in the middle than in the jungle, so you can reach level 6 faster, and then make
an kill. If possible try poke enemy im early, because now that you have an R you can think about killing opponent. I know getting cs eve is hard, personally it irritated me terribly, but with time It is learnable. Try to kill single targets with your E and push lane with Q. From now you only get stronger, but don't count on it, of course, if you are 0/10. Take part in teamfights, but remember that if you go into it, then, You will most likely die or make kill. In my opinion, if you are not feed, you should target a single character (e.g. adc) and oneshot it. The more damage you deal, the more it will cause confusion with your R,

Late:

Time passes in favor of your damage, evelynn with full build hardly ever resists anything if you hit someone by a reinforced R. Although you are weak against tanks, eve is not completely useless, because your W takes the percentage of HP. Anyway it is not enough to kill a full tank with full hp, but champs with low hp are perfect. Besides, you're still jungler, so if your jungler has 0/10 or is AFK, you can easily take his farm from beginning mid game, especially blue or red buffs.

Starting items

Corrupting Potion - This iteam gives you a lot of HP and mana, thanks to You can trade longer in the lane. After return to spawn you get again three potions, You must know that Evelynn on mid is serious easy to poke.

Doran's Shield - Do not buy it, unless you play agnist hard poke champs. Why? This iteam gives you only hp and regeneration, eve passive is similar to this, so you do not need this so much. Anyway you have little mana, after pushing waves from Q, possibly it will run out, you need to stay as long as possible to have a good cs.

Dark Seal - If you Winning the game, and you want to snowball yourself, then buy Dark Seal, but not on first item, it is too risky. I am aware that higher amount of AP is better for evelynn, but at the beginning without the possibility of regenerating mana or hp it is useless. I suggest buy it after first back.

First Back Blasting Wand - It gives you a lot AP, you can poke more and your R is more powerfull to use it for first kill. n first back you can buy Sorcerer Shoes and Dark Seal or this item. Lost Chapter - If you do want to try Luden, you should buy Lost Chapter first. Why? You get a little mana for each new level, which is what this item is for, and remember that Evelynn can very easily drain your mana resources. First full item Hextech Rocketbelt - Rocketbelt is for me the best for evelynn, it gives you magic penetration, HP and AP. You can try to buy Luden which can get you more mana (but it is hard do run out of all), and then you have smaller damage. You are assassin, not mage. Deathcap - The most expensive and powerfull item for mages. In majority champs you should buy it as late game item, but Evelynn need this for her R, I tested many items, and Deathcap gives you the most ussesfull passive heal and the biggest damage. Mejai's Soulstealer - If you manage to dominate the line and you really want to win the game (and you promise not to die) buy it. Stacks give you a lot of good stats, and with each kill you'll be better at oneshooting your opponent. Next items Shadowflame - If you are on top, or enemy team is very tanky, the magic penetration on this item will allow you to maximize your damage even more. Besides, 100 AP and 200HP will let you survive longer on lane and cast stronger R. Lich Bane - The additional movement speed favors the assassins, and the unique passive itself allows for a bigger burst in the opponent, in addition, Ability Haste allows you to spam Q faster.

There are some tips

• Remember that electro can be used with your Q
  ⁣⁣⁣
• Try to synergy with jungler. If you use a charm on your opponent while he will make gank, you probably have guaranteed kill
  ⁣⁣
• Focus on roam to the other lines
  ⁣⁣
  
• Remember to farm as it gives you more gold than kils, although farming on Evelynn is quite hard 🙂
  ⁣
• Your R is best spell to dive under towers.
  
  
• try to attack the enemy from the back after lvl 6 (after using the charm, people usually run under tower, if they can't see you, use it)

Update: I've played around 80 Evelynn games on Mid so far and I think it's playable for now, but its playstyle is difficult, and to be able to get waves where you want and be able to roam you need to be good positioning and any mistake will cost you a lot.

Huh, when I am writting this is a middle of the night, I would like to thank you if you read this guide, I put a lot of my time into it, so if you want to try it

I hope that Evelynn can dominate Mid Lane in s12!

Bye <3
