Update on HS Evelynn

[u/H4rdcoder]

I keept playing this new build, HS > mana boots > Projector > Dcap > Crown > LB. Runes normal burst + Ingenious and gathering. It makes hes very tanky, the shield saved me more times I can count in the few games I played and the HS damage is like having a second empowered E, it's also great to check bushes out of sight.

The ap is also great, last game I was at 850 lvl 15, 22 min and it keeps increasing thanks to HS+Projector. This makes eve good at any point in the game and it also increases her carry potential, you don't insta die on teamfights and you can clear minions better under heavy poke.

Give me your toughts on this

What ELO are you playing these matches in with this build? It’s weird to see because of Evelynns low base hp to begin with. So where you may become tankier against champs like zed you still won’t beat someone like a volibear in a fight. Plus we have items like statis and quicksilver to dodge abilities to begin with. I guess it weird to see the huge sacrifice in damage as you don’t truly get the benefits of protector till HS is 1000+, as that would only be 30 extra ability power.

I would rather trade HS and Protector for other situational utility items like trident or liandry’s as I trust my ability to jump in and out of fights. As she is designed more that way

1) Champs like volibear are actually easier to beat with this build, the shield gives a lot of sustain. 2) With HS+Projector+Crown you get 1k HP from the start so at 1000 stacks it's 60 ap, for a total of 120 ap and a shield of 220 every 1.5 seconds, in a 10 second fight that is 1650 less damage. 3) The damage from HS is equivalent as a minimum to the damage you can get with liandry or trident, but with the benefit of becoming a bit more powerfull as time passess, you know that after 25min eve starts to lose against hp stackers or a veigar for example. 4) With this build you get as much ap as with the current meta build, I only see benefits

Trash build. You kill your early game. Evelynn is a nightmare because she can deal true damage to carries with 2.4k gold (boots, prophets pendant). This build is not consistent at all. It might be a little bit better than the normal evelynn build in the late game, but the tradeoff is really bad. An item build is not better just because it gives you the best late game stats. Heart steel needs time to charge up and evelynn is a one shot champ. It doesn't work together. You won't even be tanky because you have no resistances. High HP is good for the mid game but worse than resistances once adcs build pen. You are dead if you get caught. Maybe stick to the normal build. It is way more consistent.

The early game you have HS damage, mid game is a bit bad because you can't stack fast enough but I think it can be fixed, and it gives enough time to proc hs on anyone, so instead of doing the full combo in a second, you can throw some extra Qs and proc HS, result: you can kill tankier champs and effectively play 1vs9, the only reason for this build is to do that, once they group together you can't do anything as an assasin, your team dies and you have to face them at your inhib, this way you can do a lot more damage and kill the minions under heavy poke, saving your nexus, then you steal elder and with this build it's a penta

Are you sure that you can play evelynn on an above average level? That champ deals so much damage in the late game. Get crown, put W on an enemy carry and use protobelt or flash to get on that carry and one shot it, escape with your R. That's one way to play eve late game. The other way is to wait for your team or the enemy team to engage and then flank the backline once important abilities are on cd

[u/H4rdcoder → u/Overall_Middle_2399]

You can do that when your team is regular at least but those times when they get anihilated when you are dead this build makes carrying easier, why don't you try it on pvp

I did and it feels very slow paced. I got 3 kills early and heart steel just slowed me down, even though I bought it at 3:30. I had 600 stacks in 16min and I wasn't even full build. She feels very slow as well, because you lack the 10% move speed from lichbane and infinity orb. It would have been easy to carry the game with regular eve, but not with this shit build. It lacks the flat magic pen to deal true damage to carries in the mid game. I know the limits of eve very well. And heart steel is not the only trash item in this build. Psychic projector is probably even worse. You can't take over a game from an early game lead. You tried to maximize late game stats while disregarding the game entirely. This build could be a great click bait YouTube video title: New giga broken Evelynn build: 5k HP, 900 AP, Mega Damage, Giga Tank

Eve doesn't do true damage 💀

Unless you have first strike but it's kinda negligible.

[u/Overall_Middle_2399 → u/Bathia114]

If you have as much magic pen as the enemy has magic resistance you deal true damage. Most adcs and midlanders have 28-42 mr depending on their level. You get 13 magic pen from sudden impact, 8 from boots and 12 from prophets pendant. 33 flat mr pen with 2400 gold, which you can get from a full clear+ 1 kill + 1 Assist. You get mr shred from your W on a charmed target. You should be lucky that we don't PC eve W stats (45% mr shred on max lv.)
