Playing against Evelynn

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

1

Buy control wards: they're the only reliable way to detect her when she's invisible.

2

The W marker (small heart above your head) warns you she's coming — retreat toward your turret immediately.

3

Evelynn is squishy without her R: if you can CC her before she bursts, she dies very quickly.

4

Invade her jungle before level 6: she's very weak in 1v1s without her stealth and burst.
