If Twitch is going to be paying 90 mana It should be doing more damage.

It's already been said before about Kalista's E and I do agree with you guys about it.

Twitch's E should be buffed. Other wise lower the damn mana cost. 90 mana is almost like blowing your ult. When you use both E and R you are using up more than half your total mana.

If Contaminate does get a buff I think one of these ideas below would be very reasonable and it will help Twitch's problem from being shut down too easily. pretty basic if you ask me and it's reasonable.

Higher scaling per level Higher base damage including base damage per stack. or do physical damage over 4 seconds.

I'm not against the idea of buffing Twitch, but you can't just randomly state costs without context.

Kalista's E costs 40 Mana, which goes from 5-17% of her max mana (low at high levels obv), and her innate regen is worth 1.6-2.7% of max mana per 5 seconds (oddly, low at high lvl).

Twitch's E costs 50-90 Mana, which goes from 9-17% of his max mana (staying close to 17% if you're maxing it first), and his innate regen is worth 1.5-2.5% of max mana per 5 seconds.

By comparison, Twitch is paying more mana as they level up, he has slight slower natural regen, and the damage dealt at maximum stacks is 290+150% bonus AD, which Kalista starts out-scaling at 6 stacks (assuming Rend's damage scaling matches what it was before it disappeared from the tooltip and the wiki, which was +50% damage per spear).

Now, you have a fair comparison of two similar abilities.

They are both very different champions. Kalista gets to hop around with each auto attack, Twitch ulting hits very far, kind of hard, and poor positioning can devastate a team.
