Glorious Stealthplay~General Tips and Tricks

As a mid or top lane Evelynn you capitalize on heavy aggressive tactics. Make sure you play passive-aggresively to constantly keep them on the edge.

Vision Wards can be a problem. However, I prefer to buy vision wards and sight wards of my own as they allow you to maintain map awareness of your own, and combined with keeping them at bay with Hate Spike you can destroy their vision wards. Be aware that they are also losing out on their money by spending it on these and placing them in bad places (i.e the middle of the lane). Later on in the game, if all is going well but you know that they are still placing wards, do consider buying an Oracle's Elixir and farm up their wards. You can tell if they have a Vision Ward up when an exclimation mark appears above your head while they are out of the circle surrounding you.

A tactic that could be useful is hiding behind your minions, hate-spiking to farm and hitting them with the hate spike at the same time. This will become irritating for them after a while as you whittle down their health while farming yourself. This harrass, if left unchecked will allow you to surprise them by bursting their health down to 0.

If your lane is pushed and you see their jungler heading to gank one of your lanes, you can 'ghost' him and follow him. When the gank initiates, you'll be there to turn the tide of the battle and even secure a kill. Remember to drop your ultimate first so that they cannot flee.

In the early game, if you find yourself back at base, and you have spare cash after buying an item, Health Potions are great and generally you should carry around 4-5 with you while you are laning. This combined with your passive will allow you to stay in lane for longer and provide you with the ability to take harass. The same goes for wards, try to by 2 health potions and a ward if you can. You should continue to do this most of the game as because of Evelynn's low hp pool, Health Potions have a much greater effect on her health percentage as a whole.

Generally in team fights, you want to wait until someone initiates and then come in, head straight for their AD or AP carry, and nuke the c**p out of them. A variation on this tactic would be to skirt around the edge of the battle and come up from the rear of their team, cutting off their escape route and potentially netting a double or more kill from it.

Warding is an essential part of the game. If people ward key areas, then overall the map awareness of the team goes through the roof and you are much more likely to survive ganks and win the game. Other guides such as this one or even this one can show you the best places to ward, however as mid lane Evelynn you will mainly want to ward 3-4 areas. 2 at the start.

These are:

One of the brushes either side of your lane.

The triangle in the path by the wraiths

The brush leading to your blue in the corner (river side)

The other brush in your lane
