One of the things I wanted to know was whats the best build path for him now? For both aggressive and passive play. How useful is that one item, the after 2 seconds it deals 25% of their missing hp? Also, when I get fed, at what point should I consider buying a defensive item? Depending on my team and the enemy team, I tend to build either a GA or frozen mallet. FM actually works pretty well vs things like Trundle, Udyr, etc. While GA is good if they have a team that enjoys diving me and instagibbing, or my team never even attempts to peel.

So for defensive play, generally the best defensive items are this (you should ideally only have one, maybe two if one gives you dmg as well):

item 3140 item 3139 : Get QSS vs high CC teams, or if there is a Malz/WW/Skarner, upgrade when you'd ordinarily build lifesteal. You don't need this as often on Twitch because his huge range should mean you should be safe if you position well.

item 3156 : Really good if there is a fed AP assassin on the enemy team like Fizz, Akali, or Katarina.

item 3102 : Good against Annie, or other AP burst champs that can kill you before you can QSS.

item 3143 : Rare item to get, only if there is a super fed Talon/Zed/Rengar and no one will peel for you.

In general, item 3026 is sort of a noob trap item atm, but it is getting buffed next patch so perhaps get it over Randy's/Banshees then. Its stats suck for the cost, and the passive is not that good. Only time you get this right now is super late game when you're full build, you can sell your other defensive item for a GA, then once it's used, if the game hasn't ended, you sell it and buy the item you had before again.

item 3022 is actually a much worse defensive item than you might think and it's really gold inefficient. Really only get it if you're quite ahead. Can be good vs like Garen or Trundle to kite, but I wouldn't rely on it.

The standard build for Twitch right now is:

item 3142 > item 3085 > item 3006 > item 3031 > item 3072 / item 3153 / item 3139 (If you need QSS earlier, should get around the time you finish Runaan's) > item 3036

The best tip I ever found for ranked is this: Just play Akali or Ahri. If ahri, remember to press E. GG welcome to challanjour.

I'm not looking to be challenger bc I'm playing an easy champ, I'm looking to raise my rank with a champ I enjoy playing.

Youmuus into Runaans and or Bork seems okay...I think.... I dunno I'm just bronze so take what I say with a grain of salt.

We'd need solo queue for that first.

Thank you Sugar Momma! Generally in my elo, every enemy blows everything on me at once, but I'll try what your suggesting! I've played twitch for a few years now. The only lane I still cannot figure out for the life of me is vs a good cait. Or now, a raka.
