Can we make Twitch's current passive his E passive?

And give him a new passive?

Just played a game as him and he's kinda weak.

Also, reminder that this is exactly what you did with Ashe and Kalista.

Keep in mind Twitch is weak for reasons other than low numbers. The times that a Twitch can get the proper items he can absolutely destroy an enemy team if played correctly. He has absolutely no in-combat mobility and is fairly squishy in exchange for some of the strongest AOE and single target DPS of any ADC, as well as the potential to play as an assassin.

His main problem is getting to a point where he can buy the items that enable him to do these things. Even then if you don't position properly, you will die (unless flash is available, but it won't always be).

Twitch just needs changes to solve a few major issues:

He's one of the worst ADC's to play when behind.
His early game is extremely difficult to survive unless you aren't vs Graves/Cait/Corki/Ez (this does not mean buff his trading potential, he just needs a bit more help not dying or farming easier).
It doesn't feel rewarding to stack his poisons all the way to 6 (they do minuscule damage compared to other DOTs).

I believe his passive does, with max stacks, at the passive's max rank, with the full duration, 235 true damage.

His passive doesn't even do damage early game, it just stops and lowers their health regen.

216 True Damage, close enough though. His passive early game can do up to 12 true damage per second with 6 stacks built (which far surpasses health regen, but its still relatively minor damage over 6 seconds).

Straight buffing his ability to trade will probably just result in diminishing his weaknesses rather than highlighting his strengths, so it'd probably be better to touch his E (maybe activating E when the target has 6 stacks on them also amplifies the damage his passive does for a few seconds?). He already goes fairly even in extended trades but suffers when the opponent has burst, so maybe he should win extended trades (like Tristana).

Passive: Rat pack

Once every 10/7.5/5 seconds, twitch calls a lesser rat to his side, maximum of 1/2/3 rats at a time. If Twitch performs a basic attack on a champion while he has rats, one of them will pounce on the enemy, dealing half twitch's AD, and applying onhit effects. If the basic attack crits, the Rat damage crits.

Thoughts?

cool idea but that sounds very VERY broken

Twitch gets almost all of his dmg from items, unlike some other adcs who have good base damages and abilities

And just how would we "expunge" a target from now on?

His passive is weak but this won't fix him.

Just like Kalista's E..... Its part passive part E....

I support this if just reverting his damage nerfs is not gonna happen. I can't really think of a fitting passive, but there probably is something you could just add to him without going overboard. Maybe making high stacks of his venom actually be noticeable in exchange for consuming them with E (so either DoT or burst/holding on to the burst) would be a good gameplay change as well, just throwing that idea in the room.

His E used to consume his passive stacks, they didn't much like this so they changed it to how it is now when they reworked him.
