I think twich poison could actually use a little buff.

Really, 2-6 true damage per stack per second is nto that much at all. Sure it does help but, at that rarely over 100 ish true damage mid game, and like 200 at top endgame. 200 true damage on 3000 hp tank is peanut. compare to auto attack and contaminate proc, that like what? under 10% of your dps? Even corki bonus true damage on attack seem more significent as a passive

But as twich dont really have much other damage on his kit other than Contaminate. i think it would not hurt at all to actually boost the poison damage. Especially to make it mire potent toward endgame.

Maybe just make it scaling on AD or add a % hp value to make him a bit better of a tank melter. twich not that bad, but like a lot of adc right now, he need some buff to keep up with the kalista, grave and jinx of this world.

The problem with buffing his poison damage is that it scales exponentially. The buff from 1 true damage to 2 true damage actually increased his poison damage by 72 at 6 stacks. So even an increase from 2 to 4 could cause twitch to deal 200-300 more true damage. Hence, why riot doesn't want to increase the damage on it.

Approximately 13% of his damage output is True. On average, he deals about twice the true damage that Corki does.

Back in 4.10, they nerfed his passive, and essentially reverted it in 5.7.

I don't think buffing his passive any more is at all a good idea. Maybe improving his ~~Expunge~~ Contaminate will give him more reliability, since reverting anything they did to his stealth feels like a horrible mistake.

Might as well buff Caitlyn 's traps because they do pitiful damage. Also buff Graves 's smokescreen damage and make Ashe ' hawkshot deal damage too. /endsarcasm I'm fine with slight increases in damage on Twitch 's poison, but the rest of Twitch's kit was most likely balanced around his poison doing mediocre amounts of damage. He already has an AS boost, an AD boost, a RANGE boost that also makes his attacks multi-target, and a multi-target nuke. He's got a lot already even without the poison.

It was fine before then got a small buff. It is even more fine now.

I wouldn't mind having an addition of some very tiny scalings to his poison, but I must say, NO MORE %HP TRUE DAMAGE. We do NOT need another Vayne in the game

Twitch poison is in an OK state right now. Not overwhelming, but a decent true damage dot on everyone that stacks up over the course of a fight.

Twitch has other problems.

If he takes ANY DAMAGE while charging his q, it takes 6 seconds to go off, at which point there is not point to the skill.

His W is not even a damaging spell, and the cc is mediocre at best.

His R, though it is a very good buff, makes it possible to dodge his basic attacks, and makes orb-walking difficult on an immobile champion.

Here is your beloved fix. (AGAIN IDK IF THIS IS A GOOD FIX!!) 3-7 True Damage. So that is 18-42 True damage per second and you can multiply it by 6 so that is 108-252. If this is oppressive early game then it can be 2-7 so that is 12 true damage per second and times it by 6 so that is 72-252. If you guys feel like there is a better tweak/buff for him, pls, list it. i would love to see your ideas.
