How to Beat Evelynn as Zed (Jungle)

Difficult matchup requiring deep understanding of game mechanics and flawless execution. Patience and proper macro play are the keys to victory in this confrontation.

Except for rare builds, Zed deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Meanwhile, Evelynn deals primarily magic damage (88.60%), additional magic resistance may be required.

An important advantage of Zed is higher farming statistics (ranked 12th among role champions) (versus 46th for Evelynn), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.9 versus 2.7) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Zed Jungle versus Evelynn Jungle matchup

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Zed player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Evelynn player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.

Zed tips:

  • Saving energy and spell cooldowns until you use your ultimate will maximize Death Mark's damage.
  • Quickly double tapping Living Shadow will teleport Zed to his shadow immediately for rapid escapes.
  • Placing a Living Shadow before using Death Mark can give Zed a safe escape from combat.

Playing Against Evelynn

  • Purchasing Vision Wards can help you detect Evelynn's location in order to prepare for her ambushes.
  • A large share of Evelynn's threat is in her charm, 'Allure.' Protect allies marked with 'Allure' or, if you are marked, make sure allies are between you and where Evelynn may attack from.
  • If you suspect Evelynn is about to ambush one of your teammates, let them know by pinging the minimap and typing in chat.
