Evelynn

Evelynn is an AP assassin in the jungle, and on patch 16.17 they grade out as a strong pick — a 53.1% win rate, 2.4% pick rate, 28,107 ranked games sampled. On the power curve, Evelynn is a scaling champion: comparatively weak early, but one of the strongest picks on the map once core items come online — so the plan is to survive the laning phase and take the game over late.

How Evelynn wins: roaming out of lane to snowball the rest of the map, and using Evelynn's mobility to catch isolated targets. The kit grades 7/10 roaming, 7/10 mobility. Evelynn grades low on split-push and siege (2/10, 2/10), so don't take fights that turn on those dimensions.

The most-played core build is Lich Bane, Rabadon's Deathcap, Shadowflame, which holds a 51.8% win rate across 1,451 games this patch. The build above re-optimizes once you lock in the enemy composition.

The matchup to respect is Kled, where Evelynn sits at just 45.8%, the lane swings the other way into Mel (62.9%), and on the team side, Evelynn gains the most from a Fiora (+6.9% pair win rate).
