Twitch is the first champ i played because i used to have a hamster and i like rat. And honestly he is sooooo weak unless your jungle hard camps your lane to feed you. Can rito plz buff him or rework him?

Normal players and pro only play those ad like esreal kaisa xayah tristana because they have reliable escape and kiting. Twitch has zero dash. Stealth is a weak escape, little speed buff and long ass time activation. And that attack speed buff is so little and after you unstealth, you lost that movement speed instantly (not like xayah w or sivir passive).

Plz dont say that twitch r is op.Twitch r only adds 300 range and the piercing aa just deals so little dmg because of the dmg reduction. Also, with just maximum 850 range, and all riot cleverest designed champs with so many dashes, every melee just one shot you and i cant do anything. Say diana ult, ap malphite ult, irelia ult, gragas flash combo. Meanwhile ezreal kaisa kalista caitlyn sivir and xayah just dash or ult away from these things, twitch (or kogmaw) just died instantly. Plus I dont understand riot logic that even your support roots a dashing champ, it will still dash and do dmg and kill you.

Riot designers used to care about balance so they made twitch's r flawed, besides the crazy piercing dmg reduction, the other thing is that even you have already auto an enemy and the arrow animation is literally flying, if the enemy lost vision like getting into a bush or side step behind a creep, the auto will miss.

Many maskmen have some mechanics of hitting several aa and burst, but why twitch needs 6 autos? Kaisa needs 5, and ally cc gives 1 plasma. Xayah 3 feathers w roots. Vayne 3 autos procs w. Ashe 4 autos proc q. Varus 3 autos. Tristana 4 autos proc e. You may say twitch w gives stacks, but the slow is so little and any marksmen with dash just instantly get away and you usually at most get 2 stacks. And w dmg is so low even if you luckily get 6 stacks not mentioning w mana cost is so fking huge. YOU HIT 6 AUTOS JUST TO GET A SPELL WITH ONLY 1.5 AD RATIO??

Twitch literally only has 1 dmg spell. How come the dmg is so little? Based on riot logic, if some of your spell doesnt do dmg, other spells will have compensation ratio. Like zoe r doent do dmg so her q has crazy ratio, or neeko because her w doent do dmg so her e q ult have crazy ratio.

Twitch passive is called deadly venom. Is this name the most ironic or sarcastic ever? How deadly is it when it only deals 1 true dmg per stack in early and 5 true dmg per stack late? Meanwhile at late game teemo q auto deal 1000 dmg and i think this bs poison is more deadly ok? Or is twitch actually a very clea home raised pet mouse so his poison is not deadly at all?

How come twitch w has no dmg at all and bs slow but cost 70 mana? How come his e cost 90 mana meanwhile xayah e and kalista e cost only 40 which makes them so spammable? And twitch spells' cd os so long!!!!!! In a teamfight kaisa may q 1000 times, ezreal wq qppptimes, sivir q 1000times. But if you play twitch you usually can e once at most twice in a teamfight. And usually you cant e at 6 stacks before you get one shot by all assassins and bruisers.

Twitch design makes him I get close to enemy i got one shot, but i stand at backline to r, enemy can easily walk away.

Twitch has no hard cc, cant kite, cant burst effectively, no escape, mana whore, few dmg spells with bad ratio, long ass cd, old design. Can we buff twitch plz? It's 21st century. Can we respect animal rights and gives this poor mouse some love? Riot plz???🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

He does seem to need a small buff.

I guess that means he's never weak since he's always camping himself.

Normal players will play whoever they want to and pro players will play the champions you mentioned while competing because they are safe, not necessarily good. In high-level play, a single mistake can mean losing a game, thus losing the tournament, thus losing out on the prize money, and thus not getting paid as much since there are performance based incentives for even A teams.

Also, you have no idea how to play Twitch. Ambush, while possible to be used as a disengage, is actually better as an engage. The extended activation time upon taking damage, the attack speed steroid upon exiting stealth, and the fact that, last time I checked, its cooldown refreshed on a takedown should make this obvious.

His ult, last time I checked, granted a considerable amount of bonus range, bonus AD, and the iconic piercing shot which actually pierces structures and pets. For a champion that typically relies more on attack speed (more on this later), this gives him better pushing power, better kiting power, and over all more damage in a teamfight.

I admit E does pitiful damage even with only one or two stacks of Venom. However if you manage to get six stacks on a target between autos and W, and then E, you will nuke a considerable chunk of enemies health. Not to mention that the E itself will work on all affected enemies in range, and thus is actually essential to his wave clear mid to late game (hit melee minions twice, hit caster minions once, E). Also funny you mention the 1.5 AD ratio ... most ultimates don't even get that much from bonus AD.

(While I'm on this paragraph, you do know Teemo's Q is the blind, not the poison, right? Or that it deals magic damage, or that it doesn't stack to deal 30 true damage each tick for six seconds after you stop applying it?)

Seriously, his only weakness is that he is a hyper carry like Kog'Maw, and the meta now is too focused on the early and mid game for him to actually hit key power spikes in a reasonable amount of time.
