TOP 5 EVELYNN COUNTERS JUNGLE

Evelynn is a stealth assassin jungler who thrives on fog of war, picks, and burst. With Q (Hate Spike) for waveclear and trades, W (Allure) to set up charm-burst combos, E (Whiplash) for gap closing, and R (Last Caress) for lethal execute and escape, Evelynn becomes a nightmare to track after level 6. If she gets ahead, she’ll delete carries on repeat and tilt the entire map into darkness.

But Evelynn is also extremely weak early, item-dependent, and completely useless if shut down pre-6. Her first clear is fragile, she has no hard CC, and her early ganks are predictable and risky. If you invade early, ward deep, and force fights before 6, you can lock her out of the game.

The top 5 counters to Evelynn jungle are: Lee Sin, Rek’Sai, Rammus, Jarvan IV, and Kayn. These champions punish her early, deny fog control, and force her into vision and fights she doesn't want.

Top 5 Evelynn Jungle Counters

1. Lee Sin

• Playstyle: Aggressive early duelist / tempo controller
• Why it works:
  • Out-tempos Evelynn before she gets R or mythic.
  • Easily invades and dives her weak clear path.
  • Wards + R reveal her from stealth and kill her before she bursts.

Play Tips:

• Track her full clear — then invade her second buff or fight at Scuttle.
• Keep vision near camps — Lee thrives in early skirmishes she can’t match.
• Play with lane priority to deny her map access until 6+.

2. Rek’Sai

• Playstyle: Early-game burst and control
• Why it works:
  • Tremor Sense reveals stealth — Evelynn can’t sneak past Rek’Sai.
  • Out-duels her in every early fight with better damage and CC.
  • One-shot combo kills her before she can charm or ult.

Play Tips:

• Invade pre-6 or force 2v2s in river — Rek’Sai wins every early fight.
• Camp Raptors or Krugs — she relies on those for safe XP.
• Use your R to dodge her R execute if she turns post-burst.

3. Rammus

• Playstyle: Tank engage / magic reflect
• Why it works:
  • Evelynn’s full combo procs W (Defensive Ball Curl) and destroys herself.
  • She can’t burst through tank stats and reflect damage.
  • Rammus taunt locks her long enough to get one-shot.

Play Tips:

• Look to counter-gank with E + W — Evelynn has no answer to taunt.
• Stack MR and armor early — she can’t farm your team without bursting first.
• Ping her R cooldown and punish every time it’s down.

4. Jarvan IV

• Playstyle: Early ganker / terrain lockdown
• Why it works:
  • Strong level 2 and 3 ganks shut down Evelynn before she farms safely.
  • E + Q + R combo locks her in and removes her invis escape route.
  • Forces objectives she can’t contest early.

Play Tips:

• Gank early and often — Jarvan creates pressure she can’t answer.
• Ward her jungle entries and force her into vertical farming.
• Use ult to isolate her in fights before she can charm or reposition.

5. Kayn (Blue or Red)

• Playstyle: Snowballing duelist / jungle path flex
• Why it works:
  • Out-paths her with faster clear and better mobility.
  • Shadow Assassin bursts her before she can even ult.
  • Red Kayn (Rhaast) wins in sustained fights and counters her squishy comps.

Play Tips:

• Mirror path her and force early skirmishes — she can’t fight before 6.
• After transformation, R her as soon as she ults to survive or chase.
• Use your mobility to match her fog plays and deny side lane picks.

Bonus Tips to Beat Evelynn:

• Track her level 6 timing (usually ~6:00–6:30). Ping it and back off when it’s close.
• Pink wards on jungle paths and midlane flanks shut down her gank routes.
• Sweep often — she relies on vision denial more than most junglers.
