So..... Twitch is broken?

How exactly is he broken? Last game everyone on the opposing team was insisting he’s broken, but said Neeko is balanced (even tho she can chunk you with 1 ability with so little built)

How exactly is he broken when his early game is astonishingly weak vs other champs right now?

Like even though I don’t lose to Neeko too much, that’s only because I go in only when she’s used up everything, quite honestly her damage scaling is busted

I don't feel like Neeko's busted though. In my opinion her scalings are somewhat like Lux's. She doesn't have an escape ability in her kit ( well, W is, I mean, it's not an escaping in my opinion ) so she needs to be hardly rewarded if she lands her stuff. Same with lux. Her ult is just ridiculously busted in terms of damage but yet again, she needs to land her entire kit in order to output that damage while if she doesn't land her Q and E, she's as good as dead.

Twitch ulting with a couple items on him may very well be broken. You can get 100 to zeroed or significantly chunked before even realizing where hes firing from.

But on the other hand he has a terrible early game, so is he broken as a champ? Not completely.

That's how they balanced him, his early game is pretty shit, mid is ok but not that great, late is when he's a nightmare

I haven't played SR in like years but I remember some time ago jungle twitch was a thing complained about on the forums so wouldn't that mean twitch is strong early game as well? or is jungle twitch not a thing anymore?

Is it a thing? Well yes and no, at this point you need to have a lot of experience with the champ to know how to work him jungle, as he can easily be shutdown and become deadweight making him a lot more difficult cause one fuck-up is all it takes to make the rest of the match unforgiving

He is strong. Not only his ganks but he can easily kite alot of the majority of melee junglers with red buff slow from range.

People seriously underestimate the strength of it and always circlejerk how bad twitch early is or jungle twitch in general when he got and still gets successfully played until highest elos.

I for one am guilty of getting red then going for early gank mid getting first blood for my mid laner a large percentage of the time.

idk if you noticed, but anytime an adc gets a little compensation for a nerf(crit changes in this case), people here on the boards lose their shit. But if you criticize like say a tank for being op or some assassins, you just get downvoted to hell. Even if your argument is good and valid.

And that's the generation we live in. When someone slaps a label on something, they decide that it's not worth arguing over. For example "assassins need to assassinate" so therefore anytime an assassin can't 100-0, he's UP. "ADCs are too op as a class". Therefore any argument about an ADC or ADCs being UP gets downvoted. You see where I'm going with this?

Twitch jg is pretty stupid. The only counterplay to him showing up behind you in lane is to feed him gold just for coming to the lane. Of course, the same applies to other cloaking junglers.

Why is camouflage immune to detection by stealth wards again? Like, invisibility makes sense. If it's invisible, then no eye can see it. But Camouflage makes you harder to see. Having a source of vision within his/her detection radius should reveal a camouflaged champion.

uh twitch is revealed by control ward, camouflage are the ones when an enemy can see you at a certain distance Rengar Twitch Evelynn, invisibility is like Talon ult, Shaco vanish, Wu clone, kha'zix ult, vayne invisibility (cannot be revealed by control ward), and obscure (soon to be removed, yay) is unique to Akali (can be revealed by control ward but cannot be targeted)

Twitch at full build could almost 1v5. but that's in silver rank or lower because the majority of us don't have the reaction time or the smarts to dive on him the second he appears

I'll just use the forum's best response for any squishy mofo

"Just use CC, as if it's the only counter to a specific champ when it literally counters every champ in the game"

He's not even close to broken atm, hes only snowballs hard against bad teams.

Unlike vayne, who is extremely busted once people pick up on her buffs, give it till 9.4 she's either gonna get nerfed or have a high ban rate.

I think any character who is good has something that's a bit broken. Especially with Riot's recent balance philosophy.

Twitch's kind of broken is stealthing and activating R to fire on people from out of their range starting fights from advantage state. He loses access to mobility or durability as compensation for being able to do his shenanigans, but playing a lot of Twitch and playing vs a lot of Twitch I can understand why people don't like playing the matchup.

Though being real, if I see a Twitch on the enemy team I know I can pick Lucian/Draven/MissFortune/Ziggs and have a free laning phase and probably get some kills. You have to dance on landmines to survive certain lane bullies as Twitch.

Tbh Twitch is just one of those champs that will either be completely useless in your game and be killed as a minion or will 1v9.

Completely depends on his support and team mates and of course on the enemy as well, if they have a lot of immobile champs then he's really good, on the other hand if the enemy team has something like Zed,Xin, Kha,Rengar or any assassin/diver while Twitch has brand supp then it's going to be a really damn tough game for him.

Thing is his ult gives him a lot of AOE and Range which people will consistently moan about, but at the same time if he stays at a long range then he can't shoot multiple enemies, also his enemies can easily walk out of his range or just avoid his autos since they turn into projectiles, that's why ironically twitch deals the most damage with his R when he's close to the enemy team and can hit more of them, but this usually ends up with at least 2 flashes on him and a hook.
