LORE OF EVELYNN

Within the dark seams of Runeterra, the demon Evelynn searches for her next victim. She lures in prey with the voluptuous façade of a human female, but once a person succumbs to her charms, Evelynn’s true form is unleashed. She then subjects her victim to unspeakable torment, gratifying herself with their pain. To the demon, these liaisons are innocent flings. To the rest of Runeterra, they are ghoulish tales of lust gone awry and horrific reminders of the cost of wanton desire.

Evelynn was not always a skilled huntress. She began eons ago, as something primordial, shapeless, and barely sentient. This nascent wisp of shadow existed, numb and unroused by any stimulation, for centuries. It might have remained so, had the world not been upended by conflict. The Rune Wars, as they would come to be known, brought an era of mass suffering the world had never known.

As people across Runeterra began to experience a vast array of pain, anguish, and loss, the shadow stirred. The nothingness it had known for so long had been replaced by the manic vibrations of an agonized world. The creature quivered with excitement.

As the Rune Wars escalated, the world’s torment grew so intense that the shadow felt as if it might burst. It drank in all of Runeterra’s pain, which it experienced as boundless pleasure. The sensation nourished the creature, and over time, it transformed into something more. It became a demon, a ravenous spiritual parasite that fed on the basest of human emotions.

When the wars finally ended, the world’s suffering waned, and the demon found itself growing desperate. The only pleasure it had ever known was born of other creatures’ misery. Without their pain, it felt nothing, just as it had in its earliest days.

If the world would not provide the suffering the demon needed to thrive, it would have to make its own. It needed to inflict pain on other beings so that it could experience that elation again.

At first, catching prey was a challenge for the demon. It could move undetected in its shadow form, but to touch a human, the creature needed to manifest as something tangible. It made several attempts to fashion a physical body from its shadow-flesh, but each result was more monstrous than the last, scaring off her prey.

The demon realized it needed a shape that was pleasing to humans, one that would not only lure them right into its claws, but would offer them ecstasy born of their own desires, so that their pain would be that much sweeter.

From the shadows, it began to study those it sought to prey upon. It tailored its flesh to their liking, learned to say what they wanted to hear, and to walk in a manner they found alluring.

In a matter of weeks, the demon had perfected her physique, leading dozens of enamored victims to be tortured to death at her hands. Though she relishes the exquisite pain of each of her victims, she always finds herself wanting more. Each human’s desires are so small, and they always expire too soon. Their pain, too fleeting to give her anything more than tiny morsels of pleasure, is just enough to tide her over to the next feeding.

She yearns for the day she can plunge the world into utter chaos, and she can return to an existence of pure, rapturous ecstasy.

FUN FACTS ABOUT EVELYNN

1. First Stealth Champion: Evelynn was the first champion in League of Legends to have a permanent stealth ability as part of her kit. Prior to her rework in 2012, Evelynn's passive, "Shadow Walk," granted her invisibility as long as she remained out of combat for a certain duration. This mechanic made her a unique and feared assassin, capable of ambushing unsuspecting enemies.

2. Lore Connection to Shadow Isles: Evelynn's lore is intricately tied to the Shadow Isles, a mysterious and haunted region in the world of Runeterra. According to her backstory, Evelynn was once a human woman who made a pact with dark entities to gain eternal youth and beauty. As a result, she became a demonic entity known as the Widowmaker, haunting the Shadow Isles and preying on the desires of mortals.

3. Multiple Reworks: Evelynn has undergone multiple reworks since her release in 2009 to improve her gameplay and thematic identity. Her most significant rework occurred in 2012, where her abilities were revamped to enhance her stealth mechanics and make her more viable as an assassin. Another major rework took place in 2017, transforming Evelynn into a demonic assassin with a new kit and updated visuals.

4. Voice Actor Connection: Evelynn's voice actor, Christina "Havoc" Norman, is a well-known figure in the League of Legends community. Norman is also a game designer who worked at Riot Games, where she contributed to the development of various champions and game features. Her performance as Evelynn captures the seductive and sinister nature of the champion, adding depth to her character.

5. Unique Resource Mechanic: Evelynn's resource mechanic, "Hate Spike," is unique among champions in League of Legends. Instead of using mana or energy, Evelynn generates "Hate" by hitting enemies with her abilities. When fully stacked, Evelynn's next ability consumes all Hate to deal bonus damage. This resource mechanic emphasizes Evelynn's relentless pursuit of her prey and rewards aggressive playstyles.

RUNES OF EVELYNN

TIPS ON HOW TO PLAY WITH EVELYNN

1. Master Stealth Mechanics: Evelynn's passive, "Determined Predator," allows her to enter stealth after being out of combat for a few seconds. Use this stealth to your advantage by positioning yourself in unexpected locations, setting up ambushes, and bypassing enemy wards. Mastering Evelynn's stealth mechanics will allow you to exert constant pressure on the map and catch opponents off guard.

2. Prioritize Objectives: As Evelynn, you have the potential to quickly take down neutral objectives like dragons, Rift Herald, and Baron Nashor due to your high single-target burst damage. Prioritize securing objectives whenever possible, especially during moments when the enemy team is distracted or out of position. Control vision around key objectives to set up picks or secure uncontested objectives.

3. Optimize Gank Paths: Evelynn excels at ganking due to her stealth and burst potential. Identify optimal gank paths based on the enemy laners' positioning, their ward coverage, and the state of the minion waves. Look for opportunities to gank overextended or immobile champions, and coordinate with your teammates to secure kills and apply pressure across the map.

4. Track Enemy Jungler and Counterjungle: Keep track of the enemy jungler's movements and pathing to anticipate their gank routes and objectives. Use this information to counterjungle, steal camps, and deny resources whenever possible. Evelynn's stealth allows her to invade the enemy jungle safely and apply pressure on the enemy jungler, slowing down their progression and gaining an advantage for your team.

5. Snowball Early Leads: Evelynn is strongest in the early to mid-game when she can leverage her burst damage and mobility to secure kills and objectives. Focus on snowballing early leads by securing kills in the laning phase, assisting teammates with successful ganks, and securing objectives to gain map control. Use your advantage to apply pressure across the map, deny vision, and force advantageous teamfights.

TIPS FOR COUNTERING EVELYNN

1. Ward Deep and Maintain Vision Control: Evelynn's stealth relies on her ability to remain unseen by enemy wards. Place deep wards in her jungle entrances, buffs, and popular gank paths to track her movements and anticipate her ganks. Additionally, invest in control wards and sweepers to deny Evelynn's vision and limit her ability to surprise your team.

2. Coordinate with Your Team: Evelynn's strength lies in her ability to isolate and pick off isolated targets. Stick together with your team, especially during the laning phase and when roaming through the jungle. Communicate with your teammates to alert them of Evelynn's potential gank paths and coordinate countermeasures to avoid getting caught out.

3. Pick Champions with Crowd Control: Champions with reliable crowd control abilities can disrupt Evelynn's engages and prevent her from executing her burst combo. Pick champions with stuns, snares, or knock-ups to lock down Evelynn and punish her when she tries to engage. Coordinate with your team to chain crowd control effects and burst her down before she can escape.

4. Build Magic Resistance and Health: Evelynn deals primarily magic damage, especially in the early to mid-game when she relies on her burst combo to secure kills. Build magic resistance items like Mercury's Treads, Banshee's Veil, or Spirit Visage to mitigate Evelynn's damage output and increase your survivability. Additionally, stacking health items like Sunfire Aegis or Warmog's Armor can further bolster your defenses against her burst.

5. Deny Her Early Jungle Pressure: Evelynn is known for her strong early game presence and ganking potential. Coordinate with your team to track her jungle pathing and deny her early gank opportunities. Ward her jungle entrances, invade her camps, and contest her buffs to slow down her progression and limit her impact on the game. By denying Evelynn early kills and resources, you can prevent her from snowballing and gaining control of the game.

6. Group and Punish Misplays: Evelynn thrives on isolating and picking off isolated targets. Avoid splitting up and getting caught out alone, especially in areas with limited vision. Group up with your team and punish Evelynn's misplays or overextensions by quickly collapsing on her with crowd control and focused damage. By staying grouped and punishing Evelynn's mistakes, you can mitigate her impact on the game and turn the tide in your favor.
