Convince me to play Twitch again

So I started to play LoL in Season II and quickly that horrible bunch of pixels who was Twitch became my favourite champ. In these 4 years i played almost every ADC going from bronze to platinum, I consider myself a noob but I learnt a lot in this time and I always kept an eye on botlane changes. I really loved the situation at the begin of this season, Marksmen were mostly balanced and each one had his unique feature and build path. So toward midseason, when the dust of balancing settled off you could pick an ADC for a specific reason (aoe, poke, lane phase, lategame, on hit, crit, kite, ecc ecc). But now, in 6.19 i think this is pretty much fucked up, especially toward Twitch to the point I don't feel like playing him anymore in ranked.

With the last nerf I think the rat is totally deprived of his uniqueness.

  • After the VU they changed the passive damage from somenthing to nothing (while they could have simply switched the damage from true to physicalDarius style)
  • He was the only adc who used item 3142 as core item and now they nerfed it because every other marksmen were abusing it
  • He could still ambush and burst people in lategame but they nerfed his Q so you can't really do that now.

To adapt my playstyle according to changes I looked at challengers and saw them playing now Twitch maxing first Q, and building item 3153 instead of item 3142 but man, this isn't Twitch, this is a Kalista trying to live the KogMaw on-hit dream. Also, nonsense into trying to get a teamfight comp based on Ratatata (Pray and Spray was much better name btw) because in that case you can just pick MissFortune , build crit and enjoy watching people die into aoe cc from your team. And if you wanna go for the lategame crit stealth champ Vayne is much better now because, for some reason, her Q scales with AD. I don't think Twitch can be a pocket pick now simply because if somehow you survive champ select through Lucian LeeSin TwistedFate then a simply item 3092 fucks you way more than any other stealth champ. Basically a champ with on-hit kit that doesn't work simply because at this point he works better with crit items but still underpowered against similar late game hypercarry.

So for me Twitch now is a dead champ, with no enjoyable rewards for playing him until lategame. Probably I'm wrong and I'd be happy if someone could prove me I'm wrong. I won't make more drama about being Twitch main and getting fucked because LoL is meant to be a game where you have to adapt to achieve victory, simply I think it's sad that from a category of unique champs like marksman someone is put in disgrace for no real reason.

P.S. I came from EUW writing this here because legends says rioters read this forum maybe someone will notice this.
