This Twitch nerf is gonna be just as justified as the Karthus and Shen nerfs

I'd actually imagine Twitch would be fun to watch competitively, but the thing is he isn't played competitively and also 6.19 won't play competitively at all so nerfing twitch now effectively does nothing to the competitive scene. It's just a random out-of-the-blue nerf that we hopefully get some context on.

Twitch is still huge in Korea. We dont notice it because we dont play him much in NA or EU

Karthus was kinda the highest winrates in the game by a good margin when he was nerfed.

Don't compare my Twitch to Shen and Karthus.

I play Karthus; he's very dumb in the right situations. Mainly cause Rylias.

At high level gameplay Shen is an unbeatable laner melee vs. melee (baring like Darius but farrr more useful). He has Poppy numbers from her height with his empowered triple hit, but he only has to worry about hitting an ordinary skillshot rather than wall bangs. Sorry he has to be nerfed cause he works too well in leagues above us.

Twitch I'm surprised about because we're playing in a new standard lanes meta though. I guess he was around the corner under Ashe/ Sivir/ Jhin..? IDK Twitch can be terrifying but for the most part his high point only last 5 seconds (or it's a gank)

I guess worlds is supposed to be the Jinx/ Kog show.

Cause idk, whenever I see Twitch brought out in competitive by a specialist he just seems to fail again and again. I guess he's supposed to win by bad design and it annoys Riot.
