Riot, I think now is the time to start thinking about Twitch.

Twitch

I can't help but feel how unfair it is for Twitch this season. Season 5 has introduced us to a lot of changes for the last 4 months. I am greaful of these new changes new ideas and of course more Diversity.

I main ADC Twitch all the time but I have been finding him hard and harder to play this year. I am getting zoned out of my farming. Other ADC's have way better aggressive stats at level one. Bonus AD damage for your AA, slows that feel more effective than Twitch Vemon cast that does 25% slow but honestly it doesn't even feel like it slows them enough, Urgot and Kog mow can reduce armor - I can go on and on about about this. Twitch doesn't not have the ability to keep up with the pace in League any more. The only way Twitch can feel useful now is your team mates. They have to bend over for him just to be able to do anything. He has never felt like he can synchronize with others and it isn't because he is ADC. ADC is the only role he has and if no one is gonna play him for what ever reason then that means there is something wrong with him. What good is Twitch if he gets shut down too easily and can't reach to his late game mode on? Hey, news flash people, Twitch's stealth and ult are not gonna cut it anymore. they have nerfed him little by little from his only needs to fight back in early game. in fact WAS Twitch really that op to you guys? Did he pull it all out of his smelly pocket at a blink of an eye? Who was really responsible for helping him get early kills in the first place?

Look At Cassiopeia for example. She can spam her E key while poisoning her foes in a 1v1. once she has her ult she is even more dangerous and for some reason. Does Twitch have something like that in his kit? Is this OK for the LCS? Is this what you call Diversity? If this is not the case then I don't what What Diversity is. I can throw out a lot of comparison here but there would be a lot. I just dont think it's fair to leave where Twitch is and think he is ok to you guys but Everyone else doesn't think so and So do I. I am not saying I want him to be over powered and kill everything I just think that everyone who loves Twitch would agree with me that He needs some REAL love from it's own creators and give him the ability to fight back so he doesn't get shut down is easily. It's time to give him the same amount of diversity that you keep talking about.

I do think there's a certain amount of a problem when I have to stealth/ult next to the enemy's lone adc, pop ghost blade and ignite, and run a max damage build to just barely assassinate the enemy adc. And it's like that at all phases in the game.

I think it's logical that, in an even duel, Twitch should lose, but when Twitch stealths behind the enemy champ and fully surprises them, then it should be a win, hands down, right then. The ADC solo pushed out their lane against a stealth champ, and they didn't set up any pink wards: they're dead if he's there. Instead you have to blow every possible advantage to win in a duel, and that doesn't quite feel right to me.

Along with that, his W and E have a cast time which makes them a bad idea to use during your stealth buff, or when you're being chased. So while he should have a rapid assassination feel in a battle, instead you effectively need to throw away a use of your e so you can maximize your damage after stealth: you can rack up 6 poison counters quickly, but detonating them makes you miss two auto attacks, and that's not worth it.

I'm not certain Twitch is, too weak. I play him a lot, but only recently picked him up. He's certainly not strong during the laming phase. And with Yasuo, and Braum, able to shut down his ult, it's pretty. . .shitty choosing to play the rat when two champs will just cancel you out completely without even needing to use their ults, and also you can't even duel down the enemy adc easily. That's not to mention anyone like Veiger, who can drop a stun on you when you ult; so many champs just cancel Twitch out of the battle as soon as he comes out of stealth--unless your team can draw out their CC in advance, and that's not usually easy to arrange.

No. Lets rework urgot. Lets rework fighters. Lets rework tanks. Lets rework crit. Lets rework armor pen. Lets rework gold/10 items. Lets add item diversity (Like 20~30 niche items.)

It's fine of you guys don't believe me. I am not here to judge. All I know is It's getting harder for me to play him now days but he is still fun to play. he can still be a huge deal to the team. But I can't help but wonder when people might pick up Vel Koz and wombo combo far away. I am not saying I want changes now but I just want to put my opinion out there and hope maybe I am right about this whole thing.

Again I don'y want to make him OP, I am just saying I do not like his early disadvantages that I feel makes no sense when other champs have high advantages at all levels. maybe it's the ADC's that need to be nerfed but that would cause too much problems including too much work. Most of the ADC out there are great.
