Is twitch a good hypercarry?

Ive never been good at adc. Twitch and draven are the only two ADC's i can do decent with. I know draven is an amazing hypercarry, but is twitch?

Draven isn't actually a hypercarry. If he doesn't snowball he falls off come late game.

Twitch's late is really strong though, but he's just total ass in lane.

Twitch potentially can kill entire teams in seconds; that's the dream. Setup and good teamwork are generally required, but under the right circumstances no champion deletes teams like him

Sometimes you can get fed and 1v5 if you're positioned just right

His weaknesses are Profound tho, any burst damage, assassins, mages, duelists, if any of those champs catch him he has almost no response available besides BoTRK's slow and his 4.5 delay stealth

he has issues because he's complete garbage in lane

Thanks, mind telling me if my build is fine? I start with Botrk>berserkers>youmuus>infinity edge>phantom dancer>LW if tanks, BT if none.

I play Twitch differently from others; he does get a lot out of BoTRK, but it's not nearly as good for trades, which is a lot of his strength in lane item 3031 item 3046 item 3072 item 3035 is my build order oftentimes I can sometimes afford not to get boots thanks to MS runes + MS mastery and the 16% movement speed from phantom dancers. I won't always try this If I don't get boots I'll grab a item 3139 or item 3153

With this build there is no late-game like Twitch's

No offense at all to you, but I advise anyone seriously trying to play ADC to NOT build like this. Now I understand you're only Bronze 1 where super greedy builds like this go unpunished, but in any game of average to high elo, you will get punished hard for building like that. Not only are you not building BoRK which is absolutely core on twitch, but you're also recommending to skip boots AND take MS quints which is absolutely trash for an ADC, especially one that needs AS to thrive. Double PD is also WAY too greedy unless you're super fed because you won't have an additional slot for a defensive item if you built regularly with boots.

Again, not trying to shit on you or be elitist, but this is really wrong.

I'm just talking about how I play Twitch; I'm not saying my way is the best way at all, (and it's not always the way I build) But it's worth trying, especially if you manage to get ahead in lane.

I don't play ranked. Did my promotionals this season then stopped because of the atmosphere I really don't appreciate when people look me up and tell me what's what because I'm bronze

Twitch's late game potential is amazing, but he is also easy to dive.

Not to mention, his early/mid game are total ass.

Vayne is a better choice for a late game hypercarry right now. It's not even close.

but like i said, im not a great adc and draven/twitch seem to be the only ones i can play decently

Well then, Twitch is okay if you can get through laning without feeding.

yeah, if you can survive the lane phase and master when to use your stealth and open up on the team, you can carry pretty hard as twitch. he has a very short window of power with his ult and is basically borderline useless after it ends due to his very short range. you have to know the very best times to ult.

It's really small sorry idk how to fix that (just click once and it brings up a slightly bigger version just dont go to the site)

When twitch gets fed hes really good

He is hard to play in general and his nerfs mean that is extremely difficult to do well with him. Everything about his early game is atrocious so he almost always loses early game, and when he falls behind he STAYS behind because his kit has very little in the way of safety or base damage. He is currently outclassed by other ADC's. If you want a late game ADC/Assassin hybrid then there is no reason to pick him over Vayne, who has better true damage, better base damage, and better safety through mobility and self peel. If you want to be a teamfighting menace there is little reason to pick him over Kalista, who has an outright superior version of contaminate on her rend and doesn't need to use her ult to attack multiple enemies at once.

He is fun to play, his personality is lovable, and he is still amazing late game, but if you fall behind you're in for the roughest grind of your life, you will do literally nothing until you get 6 items and no one guaranteed you the game would last that long. Games as Twitch tend to be painful more than anything else.
