I remember playing vs an Eve top as warwick, and that stuff is hilarious. I don't know if the Eve was just bad or if WW counter her, but she could not do anything. I took all her damage and just healed it back with AAs on creeps and Q. She had her spike on, and what I could do was chase after her, making her run while spike was going off, and make her lose a good amount of mana. Are high sustain champs just really good against Eve?

Hmm, I tried out some AP eve solomid. I played vs. a terrible zyra, but it seems to me that ap eve is really good at stomping. I have no clue about her viability in an high elo game, but she seems pretty good as a stomper.

Lane phase is clunky, and I suspect that a good zyra could have denied me farm, but q lets you farm under tower pretty much perfectly and is smooth enough that you can farm. Your w passive makes avoiding skillshots much easier. Needs to be tested vs. good players though.

And then you're really hard to kill and have lots of sticking power, so its very easy to assassinate people who get caught and then run away. Your q does a lot of sustained damage, ever vs. tanks.

On the other hand, the enemy team was really bad in that game, so I have no clue if any of this works vs. correct play. It was really fun to play though, so try solomid AP eve out :D

Pretty much this.
Her laning phase is extremely awkward and she can have a lot of trouble v a lot of common mids, but the difference here is she farms MUCH better than old Eve, and so can get enough for boots 2 and a Kage and then she can roam. The best part about this is you can fuck around with your mid opponent and let the stealth kick in for a while evry now and then so they don't know when you're ACTUALLY roaming or not, so sometimes they'll leave, letting you freefarm and other times you can go gank and they won't bother following.

To me this seems the only viable way to play AP Eve.....you MUST roam in order to get kills, otherwise the enemy mid will outfarm and outscale you. It's a lot like AP TF, but without the insane waveclear and stun gank. Her gank as AP is MUCH better than as a jungler because even though she is squishy as all hell, she actually does burst damage properly at 6 rather than her exceptionally poor damage with Wriggle's, gp10 etc. You will always be able to find a way into bot or top lane without being seen and she can get very close.

So far from what I've seen, her core is DFG/Gunblade, grabbing the Cutlass first to help her gank out with the extra damage/slow. Once she grabs those 2 items and Sorcs she can instantly burst down almost any high-priority target necessary and escape decently with the extra survivability from Ult and her W. The guide I originally read said to keep going with the AP items after, but from what I've seen she really doesn't need more than this. Maybe a Zhonya's to act on Eve's global taunt thing, but I find it much more effective to build tanky so that once you've blown someone up you can actually survive to do a bunch more. Consider her lategame a lot like Katarina in that you have to wait a LONG time to enter a teamfight and you're a lot less safe, but your damage is a shit ton more reliable.


Not sure how this goes at high elo, as was said, because I imagine if she is shut down especially hard early game she may not even be able to start roaming early like she wants, but I'm going to keep trying and perfect this. It is currently, I believe, the ONLY useful way to play her unless her base stats are updated for the jungle.
