Next patch, twitch mid w/ Lethality build?

curious what you guys think, before the patch hits I thought I'd at least share the idea with you. it's a little sketchy since his ADC build works sorta fine, but i think this will be a strong alternative

Twitch with Edge of Night, item 3147 item 3142 item 3153 item 3006 item 3036/item 3085

i suggest playing him mid here because of how his Q will work now, the long duration stealth will be great for early ganks but worse for his bot lane skirmishes because of the camoflage. the main point of this build is to kill someone as quick as possible with heavy armor pen and high AD for a lethal E execute; Lethality scales much harder than armor pen does currently, so Twitch can still squeeze a good late-game out of this thanks to the value of armor he'll ignore. twitch will play as more of an assassin than a carry with this build, which is why I suggest mid lane where you can roam earlier and get to any lane with ease to snowball.

Duskblade gives him extra up-front burst that he can refresh if he kills a target, and the high OOC movement speed lets him get around the map very quickly combined with his Q. Edge of Night activated before he stealths gives him a very hard-to-beat surprise attack if he plays correctly

the main weaknesses are lack of crit and lack of in-combat mobility, made worse by the Q change to camouflage, but I believe that Twitch will be very strong with this build nonetheless thanks to how strong lethality will scale.

discuss, curious to hear what you guys think about the possibilities here

adcs can already go mid, they outtrade every mana reliant/cooldown reliant mage and bully melee assassins.

I'm not going to make a judgement call right now on "good or bad", but I will say that if the mid lane meta still is heavy waveclear mages it probably won't work because I don't think you can outtrade them early and they'll keep you from roaming by pushing you in
