RIP my Twitch playstyle

Junkο··1 votes·701 views

NOTE: I'M NOT SAYING TWITCH IS BAD NOW, I'M JUST SAYING THE TWITCH PLAYSTYLE THAT I PLAYED AND BOUGHT HIM FOR IS GONE NOW

RIP SotD you will be missed. I used to rush SotD and IE on Twitch because it gave him a lot of burst out of stealth and since i play mainly assassin champions this went really well with my assassin playstyle.

His burst is now gone, or atleast it's WAY smaller to what it was before. 3 guaranteed 250% crits in a line with massive AS when you came out of stealth near the enemy team (and risked dying btw) with possible resets hurt way harder than coming out of stealth and ult with Botrk, IE and the rest of the generic ADC build ever will. It feels like his Q exists for no reason now except to make his early AS abyssal and delay his damage in teamfights, it doesn't feel rewarding coming out of stealth to try to kill somebody at all.

Also he is outclassed at everything he does now. Tristana doesn't have a delayed steroid, Jinx has better AoE with rocket and ult. Kalista has a better E. And all the popular ADCs have way better reliable escapes(well Jinx not really, but she is a pain in the ass if she procs passive during a teamfight)

Can i get a refund on both Twitch and the Kingpin skin i bought? Pretty please

the problem is that with SotD is huge waste of gold when its active is not up. whereas BotRK+GB is MUCH better over time.

2150g is too much to spend on an item that is useful for 2 seconds out of every 60. and thats not to mention that when the active is up it makes the IE crit worthless which is valued at about 1250g

yes it was a fun combo to troll games and dick around with in normal matches but its just like playing something like ad arhi/malz/annie they are fun but they are not effective

as an adc your job is high sustained damage and SotD just doesn't do that.

SotD reduces cooldown by half on kill and assist, it's pretty much a cheese item early game. I will admit that late game it falls off. Oh well i'll just do with Ghostblade i guess.

Yes, if you still have refunds.

I don't, and there is no reason i should have to use 2 refunds because Riot decided to remove SotD and keep AND make it harder to maintain SotO and Mejai stacks

stop whining and learn to adapt. riot is not going to give refunds for every single nerf they ever throw out.

also on a side note: BotRK+GhostBlade >> IE+SotD even when it comes to stealth assassinations.

I wish people said that about Yasuo instead of whinning so he got hit hard by nerfs almost every patch after his release.

Oh well i'm gonna have to live with Botrk+Ghostblade i guess. Or buy a better ADC.
