So Twitch is being ignored by the marksman update despite desperately needing buffs

Tryce Maxwell··4 votes·674 views

Vayne's ult gives double the AD his gives, Jinx has a passive 100% dmg splash on her attacks that can crit pretty much all the time (instead of 40% like twitch's)

Kallista's rend can stack "indefinitely" and ALSO has more base damage than twitch's Contaminate. It ALSO slows, and resets on kill.

Twitch's W does no damage, slows, and applies 2 stacks of his passive for pitiful damage. His Q doesn't really have a long lasting stealth until rank 5. Which, by the way, basically never activates under damage (shaco's is a flash, and a stealth and happens immediately regardless of whether or not he is taking damage at the time, and STILL lasts for 5 seconds. 2/3rds of the duration of Twitch's max level stealth, starting from level 1)

TL:DR, Where is twitch's power budget? Against skilled players, his stealth is predictable and not very powerful, and his kit has been toned down in several areas.

Well, if you compare him to Jinx, his base stats are great. They have about the same AD at level 18 (Jinx is higher by about 4), but Twitch has a base attack speed that's 30% higher. Although Jinx's minigun boosts her attack speed, this means that Twitch scales much better with attack speed items, since they modify base values. His Q also gives him a huge attack speed steroid; it's not quite on par with Jinx's minigun, but he can use it in conjunction with his ult to get the best of both worlds. Twitch's ult is also objectively better than Jinx's rockets; the splash radius on a rocket is fairly small, and in a teamfight, you're still only going to be hitting at best both tanks at the same time, whereas Twitch will be shredding the backline while he whales on your tanks.

Is Jinx stronger than Twitch right now? Yes. That's why there are major nerfs incoming to her rockets and Repertoir is considering additional buffs to Twitch's Q if the changes don't add enough power.

Varus will probably benefit from the item changes and his ult now adds stacks of his w over time. Thats a pretty big buff for his teamfighting. (varus with 40% cdr with mana on hit, but still being allowed to build other adc items without being inefficient)

One can only hope at this moment.

I think Cait will be banned quite a lot for the first patches, she looks ridiculous

If anything, I think she got a nerf. Amazing zone control, but shorter traps, slower Q, weaker E, and loss of armour pen / AS. If anything, graves will be incredibly strong.
