has this ability called "Spray and Pray." Where the hell is the praying in this ability? With Riot's counterplay philosophy you'd think they'd make Twitch stand still and have to aim all the shots, you know so that it's an actual spray and pray aspect, but I guess it's fine he gets to pop these targeted shots from 700 units away.
Poske1 votesTwitch ultimate can actually miss if you use any MS ability mid bullet going
Not that it is realiable way of dodging it since the missile increase

or similar will make you dodge it. The missile speed is way too fast to be dodged with MS.
Poske1 voteswhen I said ms ability I meant flash/dash/blink. Idk why I phrased it this way
But I was not incorrect
I have seen people just going way to fast for twitch bullet though it happens rarely nowdays

Twitch's ultimate name used to be ratatatat or something to that effect though, spray and pray was just what basically everyone called it so they eventually (re-)renamed it.
KVbqbFsC8e1 votesSpray and Pray was the original ult name.
Mysticman891 votesHence re-renamed.

However, the way the ability originally worked was that it did turn Twitch's autoattacks into slow, dodge-able, linear skillshots with the same range and AoE as they currently do. But there were so many situations where the enemy would just sidestep autos to take no damage, making it so Twitch's ult was very rarely worth using and would cause him to lose duels he would win if he hadn't used R at all, so Riot changed it to make the ability feel better.
Later, Riot changed the ability's name to "Rat-ta-tat-tat" to reflect the altered functionality, but the name simply didn't stick with players. Everyone still called it "Spray and Pray," even casters in pro games, so Riot reverted the name back to "Spray and Pray."
It's kinda similar to the name for Lux's ult which was originally named "Finales Funkein," then "Infinite Light," and finally "Final Spark." Players generally called it "Master Spark" (or just "Laser") the whole time and were not going to bother remembering a German phrase.
