Twitch changes for Preseason

Squidblimp··2 votes·1,897 views

So here are the changes that seem to be happening for Twitch during the preseason:

"Twitch

Change Goals
    Pushing Twitch a bit farther in the direction of the “marksman assassin” by adding an out to his assassination attempts via Ambush reset.
Q - Ambush
    Added: Cooldown resets when an enemy champion affected by Deadly Venom dies
    Quality of Life Buff: Entering stealth now cancels Twitch's current auto attack order

_ ** R - Rat-Ta-Tat-Tat Buff Duration reduced 7 >>> 5**_

    Quality of Life Buff: casting Rat-Ta-Tat-Tat during Q's stealth no longer cancels stealth
    Cost 100/125/150 >>> 100 all ranks"

I highlighted the part about the buff duration going down on Twitch's ult. I really like the Q reset mechanic, but I'm just wondering why his ultimate is being nerfed? If I could get some input from Riot, that would be nice, because this just kind of feels like a straight nerf to his teamfight damage...

Also, another thing, if we're doing Q resets, why not make him enter stealth faster for a few seconds after a reset, so he can get out even faster?

The reason they nerfed his ult duration was to allow them to change other aspects of his kit over the preseason allowing them to make twitch more of an assassin Adc but weaker team fighting adc. Also add me on league if you want talk more about Twitch.

Because only extremely broken skin sellers can have long ass durations for their ult steroids. Riven Vayne

I really hope what they are doing will be the right thing. but I still don't see ANY reason to nerf the duration. there's still has too much disadvantages in him.

I figured out why they did it. They gave a huge buff to Youmuu's Ghostblade, which now gives more than twice as much AD. That item is core on Twitch, so they lowered his duration to match his new damage.

And the fact that the most of the items you can choose from also provide better AS and Critical hit chance WAY better from the looks of it.

I am already trying to look in to a hard core build for Twitch. I am going to get on the PBE and learn it all for myself Cause I still love playing Twitch as my main ADC. I really do think these new changes will help him out a lot.

EDIT: Runaan's Hurricane is a really good item for Twitch too.
