Evelynn vs Briar Matchup Summary

The Evelynn vs Briar matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 32 recent matches analyzed, Briar wins with a 71.9% win rate compared to Evelynn's 28.1%, giving Briar a 43.8 percentage point advantage. Briar dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights.
