Twitch Level/AP Scaling Boost.

Soo, im here to talk about two things. but they both revolve around twitch. Twitch

Twitch is one of my favourite champions. his playstyle is interesting, his voice quips are funny, and theres nothing quite like popping out of nowhere, screaming SEWER SKEWERS FOR EVERYBODY! and then decimating the entire enemy team because they decided to group up at mid.

with that said, ive come to the conclusion that he needs a bit of a buff.. Twitch can only.. really be played a very restrictive amount of ways. he can, lets say, only really build attack speed, attack damage, on hit, and crit.

and i know, this is standard for adc champions.. but what im thinking is that his E, the thing of his that scales with AP, doesnt have enough scaling to even be worth putting gold into ability power. it scales at 1 point more dmg per 5 ap, (20% AP) and while this isnt bad.. it is.

Lets say i spawn into a game, get level 18, and spend the ungodly amount on gold on five Morrello's item 3165 and one Rabadon's item 3089 This would put me at 841 AP. this only adds 131 AP to each stacks' dmg. and yes, this in total adds up for about 1300 dmg, but it.. just doesnt work.

you're spending all six item slots on ap, giving you no attack speed, no attack damage, and no threat. you're going to die long before you get those precious 6 stacks. I think twitch needs a slightly better AP scaling, for all the trouble you go through to pin stacks on.

Next subject, Twitch's passive.

Am i the only one who feels like this needs to be buffed? It BARELY scales with levels, (5 dmg per sec for 6 secs, on each stack at max.) <- THIS, is 30 dmg a second for 6 seconds. 180 dmg, dmg. that is NOTHING late-game. Please, riot. Fix this..

Perhaps, i dont know, make it so AP ups the dmg of his passive. magically enhanced poison, idk. im just.. for all the 'awesome' the new skin brings, his kit just doesnt keep up.

What are your guys's opinions of this? ^^ i'll be reading comments soo feel free.

Sadly riot doesn't support alternate playstyles at all anymore, so it won't happen.

But anyway, even for adc-twitch, i think they need to shift dome power from raw AAs into his passive and E, as both are just not relevant in the lategame anymore while his raw AAs+ult totally destroy entier teams, so he basically doesn't use half of his kit post earlygame which is rather sad.

That one was dumb because you just endlessly sit very far away from people firing prey seekers. It was completely uninteractive.

As much as I like to make alternate playstyles viable, I really don't think Riot will do so.

So I agree with you, but Riot won't.

Thanks. and yea... im a tad afraid of that, lol.

See, my main problem is the.. well, to put it bluntly, laughably ignorable passive. each stack shouldnt be an "ooh he hit me. ehh". and that GIANT-FUCKING-RAT-HEAD should be alot more menacing and dangerous, than the annoying and boring "ooh he hit you 6 times, heres a giant skull to remind you of your failure and miscare."

The passive isn't really meant to do anything on its own, though. It is basically just the indicator for his E and the big skull is the sign to get away from him before he uses it.

Yeah fair enough.

I wish his passive would make his poisoned targets leave a poison trail like Singed q and that would scale with AP. Then you would really have a much different playstyle vs ad.

Have you considered Nashor's tooth and rageblade? While there aren't many AP/AS items, that might help you out.

Also, twitch kept his AP scaling on his E because people used to build rageblade on him (back before it was reworked 4 times or whatever). He was never meant to go AP or hybrid, unlike teemo, kog or kayle.
