What makes Evelynn dangerous

After level 6 Evelynn gains camouflage, becoming invisible outside a short range so she can roam and set up unseen ganks. She charms a target with her ultimate-setup, then bursts them down and her ult repositions her to safety. She punishes squishy, warded-poorly teams brutally.

Itemization

Evelynn is AP burst. Magic resist (Mercury's Treads, an early MR item) plus vision control beat her. A Zhonya's or Banshee's on the carry negates her charm-into-burst. Above all, ward — a revealed Evelynn is a dead Evelynn.
