I'm on a business trip atm and can't test, but could there be any merit in ad jungle (or mid I guess) Eve with sorc boots? Ad scaling on her abilities, huge attack speed boost, easy triforce procs, elder lizard is core on her anyways...basically magic damage with spells with hardhitting autos in between, could go hybrid pen instead of standard (?) ad reds, ap quints. Thoughts?

i was wondering about triforce/bork eve even before they changed her around to physical damage on E, had some success with it. getting the gold was the hardest part but with the new jungle gold changes even that isn't too bad, and each part of triforce has a reasonably price

But then aren't simply way too quishy considering you're a teamfighter and have dumped ~10k gold (2k jungle item, ~4k triforce, ~3k BotRK, ~1k boots) without any major defensive item? Even with the ult shield, you'll die quite fast if focused down.

I guess I could see a Triforce/BotRK build work if you only split push and never team fight, but I can't imagine it being very good. If you mean just triforce and not BotRK, I know Saint's tried it out a bit since season 3.

Edit: looks like Dan Dinh has been trying some BotRK/triforce builds, but I don't think he's a great Eve player.

But splitpushing on Eve doesn't make sense, she doesn't have anything on her that would make splitpushing with her good
Allow me use a comparison to explain why I don't like Triforce+BotRK on Eve
ok so there's exactly 1 champion on whom it is standard to go those items, and that's Jax.
Jax takes them because he is amazing at dueling, so he invests into those items not just for the dmgs but to be able to dmg people. Thanks to his dueling power and escape abilities with Q he is a powerful splitpusher, which further pushes him in the direction of building damage. This damage build is nicely complimented by amazing innate survivability thanks to E and ultimate, which makes him survive quite a long time in teamfights. The hard CC on E allows Jax to apply his damage more reliably in teamfights as well.

While there are other, minor reasons why BotRK+Tri works on Jax, Evelynn lacks ALL of the things mentioned above. She sucks at dueling, she sucks at splitpushing, she doesn't have amazing innate survivability, she doesn't have hard CC and she doesn't have a jump. What the hell does Eve even have that synergizes with those items? Spammable Q is about it.
