A Twitch Nerf Riot Should Like

Make his Q no longer reset on kills.

Riot had this idea that every marksman should have an identity and a reason to be picked when they updated Marksmen 2 years ago.

They recently buffed vayne's ult to be this consistent threat, making her the sustained fight adc, Tristana the disengage and annoyance adc, sivir the movespeed and aoe damage adc, Ashe the slow and single target pick adc, kog maw the glass cannon artillery adc, etc.

But twitch has the same niche that vane does, where if he gets a takedown he can reapply the steroid his q gives. This gives vayne and twitch the same niche. Make twitch the aoe burst damage adc, who gets significantly weaker if he doesn't end the fight outright quickly enough.

Having a steroid resetting on kill is not a niche, it's just a gameplay mechanic. Vayne's niche is being the best tank shredder marksman, since she is able to deal %health true damage she is able to bring a tank down faster than anyone else.

I disagree with this nerf. Twitch is supposed to be the prime fusion of marksman and assassin. Resets on takedowns aren't uncommon for assassins as a mechanic.

The nerf I would suggest is to give enemies a fair warning about Twitch's presence. In x range around Twitch in camo, enemies get a green gas screen border. It warns that he is near, but it doesn't give away his exact position. Fits thematically as well, you can't see him, but you can smell him.

So much for a glass cannon when he has Lulu on his team and builds Mallet, Randuin, Wit's End and a Tabi.. KogMaw

And tbh I don't even know why they added the reset for his Q anyway. I never liked that change

For all the niche roles ADC's should have, they're all fairly good at killing squishy targets.

or given how he only really gets away with half his crap due to how much power his super small stealth has lets butcher that in line with other assassins?

Stealth changes, stealth ring increased to be 2 teemo larger then eve's current stealth, twitch no longer gains movespeed on stealth but instead gains it after leaving stealth and only while moving towards enemy champions.

Twitch is supposed to be the assassin ADC and Vayne is supposed to be the duelist. They both have steroids, but they're different steroids tuned to that niche, so you can't clump them together like that

Ffs, it's not the q the god damn problem. It's the aoe ult.

An assassin using stealth is okay, I don't care what is Eve's, they are different roles.

An assassin having an aoe ult when they don't to be close like Katarina is a problem however.

Holy, everyone that says that the q is the problem remind me of Riot: putting changes in the places EXCEPT the very obvious issue.

I find it retarded when the braindead right clicking twitch players don't even use the invisibility, they just spam it for the attack speed buff.

Well, you forget the fact that he is not supposed AT ALL to be a burst ADC, since he was entirely designed to be a flank adc with DoT, which is the complete opposite of burst
