He could use a little buff maybe, but its also just meta. Hard engages and assassins wreck Twitch

He's my highest mastery champion, and I've struggled with him this season for sure.

Statistically, Twitch is just about average among ADCs. Certainly not an underperformer at least.

Perhaps it's that the skill/mindset you bring into trying to play Twitch just isn't a good one? It's a fine line of balance between Assassin Twitch's proactive plays and hyper carry Twitch's defensive plays, given that Assassin Twitch is relying on a hyper carry power curve and hyper carry Twitch doesn't have any real defenses. Could just be that you're not hitting that balance right.

It would be cool if they made his poison scale off AD... like teemo's scales off AP..

true damage is cool in all but... that's probably why they can't buff him.. he'd be too powerful. Idk..

No, Twitch is strong as fuck

if they buff him I will not be happy, he's irritating enough when he's out of meta

I feel like he got the shaft compared to what a lot of the other ADCs got at preseason. His stealth resetting after a kill doesn't really matter if he can't actively enter stealth since he'll likely be getting hit. Other than that, he's relatively the same as he's always been. They even nerfed his ultimate to a flat five seconds from seven, I think it was?

There in is the thing, Twitch is one of the last remaining actual hyper carries in the game.

He's rough to start off, but when he hits the 2-3 item point, he can shred a whole team without a ton of effort.

There seems to be 3-4 builds that are common currently for Twitch

Build 1 that C9 Sneaky uses: rush item 1038 then build item 3085 item 3031 Lifesteal item, Mercurial then move on from there. Boots inside the build at some point of course.

Build 2: The old standby of BotRK, into a BF item, followed now by hurricane, and other items as you see fit.

Build 3: Ghostblade rush, into hurricane, BF item, then the rest as you see fit.

Build 4: Rush hurricane, into the rest of your damage items as you see fit. IE is usually second in this.

Builds 1 and 3 seem to work the best, 4 is next on the list, followed by the BotRK build being last place as it takes too long to ramp up.

The other issue is that Twitch requires a weird playstyle. You have to balance him as both an ADC as well as an assassin. Add to all of that that the only supports that should be played with twitch are the same deal as the ones played with Kog'maw, ones to keep him safe.

So be careful what you're picking him against, along side, and what you're building. BotRK is a rather archaic build that should probably be shelved for the time being.

I think hes fine. Maybe a small buff would be okay, but he can basically instantly stealth if he gets a kill. You can stealth, get a kill, and stealth away for free. I really enjoy him personally.

twitch seems extremely snowbally to me. Once he gets rolling it's really terrifying.
