Why Can kalista do it and Twitch cant?

I was thinking just like the way the Kalista's "E" Rend refreshes when you kill a unit. Why cant Twitch's "E" Contaminate do the same? I love twitch this would make him a lot more fun!

Because Twitch isn't mobile, so he isn't allowed to be as good.

Riot doesn't want to generalize skills just because they're similar. Having a small different aspect from eachother make them unique. However, Twitch is kind of in need for a buff and I wouldn't mind this option to be looked at.

When comparing champions it is important to consider their entire kit, not just a single similar spell. Twitch's ult is potentially the most damaging ult in the game (thats why its so mana hungry still) and Twitch's invisibility and attack speed steroid are also important and powerful tools which Kalista does not possess.

I agree with him being unique but I dont feel like his E is enough not to mention that his Q to turn inv is so slow especially when being shot at it takes 6 seconds! giving him that auto E regen after kills and restoring half mana would be perfect!

Isn't your idea for twitch's e just a copy/paste of kalista's e without infinite stacks? I'd rather see Kalista and Twitch be different than e stack marksmen with one who is mobile and one who is stealth.

His e is useful for securing kills and making sure you get that sweet, sweet kill gold that a marksman should have. Twitch is still useful without e with his better attack speed, higher ad ratio damage, incredible ult, and sheer assassination potential. His q is not meant to stealth you to escape (riot made this very clear with the nerf to stealth time when taking damage) it is meant for (surprise!) an ambush - something kalista cannot do. Kalista is short ranged and a highly mobile champion who relies on attack speed and her rend stacks to deal her damage over the damage of her autos.

If you want a twitch buff I'd suggest some additional mechanic with his w because his w is the least interesting part of his kit.

I wouldn't mind W gone entirely, it's really a terrible skill and a mana drain

I'm not sure how good this is I'm just spitballing here: the venomous cask would be the same but the total amount of stacks you can get on a target increases when hit by his w. So level 1 w lets you get x+1 stacks, level 2 w lets you get x+2 stacks, and so on and so forth. The reason i put x instead of 6 is because it would probably require a rebalancing of his overall passive stack potential and e damage.

Or the cask would apply a separate venom that interacted differently somehow than his passive poison and e already do; likely in the form of damage formulas with his e and its effect with his autos.
