Twitch changes feel absolutely awful
Hi, I'm a Twitch main with about 420k mastery points on him
I've played several games with Twitch today and I have to say that the changes feel absolutely awful.
Before the changes, how players used his q was central to getting success on Twitch- it was more than a "I'm going to sneak to your ADC, press r, and get fed" tool- it gave him ways to cleverly approach fights, escape, clean up fights through resets, and so much more. The stealth was what gave the champion depth and made him rewarding to learn.
Now, it's exactly that. His q functions pretty much solely as an AS buff and the "I'm going to sneak to your ADC, press r, get fed" button. There's really no other way to use the spell- the detection radius is so massive that it's less than impossible to move past people. Even if it was half as big, the detection radius would be so big that Twitch would lose any form of stealthy mobility outside of lane and the enemy team can simply fan out to look for him.
The fervor changes, the loss of escape on his q, and the incoming influx of assassins make Twitch (and his ~3% playrate) even less desirable, but I don't really mind this. What I'm actually disappointed is the fact that Riot actively KILLED what made a champion unique and only left a hollow, one-dimensional version of his former self.
Have a good day.
