Nerf Twitch's Q

So I've been maining Twitch since I started playing this game (which admittedly hasn't been very long compared to most of you guys). I love my rat, but the changes to his stealth in the assassin rework have bothered me since they were implemented. Here's some of my thoughts.

  1. The move of his Q - Ambush to camouflage removed a lot of its usefulness in his assassin playstyle. His escape is no longer an escape unless you can stay out of the battle, and his jukes (which were hilariously fun) are much harder to pull off anymore. Yes, its channel can't be interrupted anymore and its duration is ridiculous now, but it isn't useful when the fight comes directly on top of you anymore.

  2. Despite Twitch being overly strong from the Q changes, they nerfed his passive instead of his Q. I'm not sure why they did this, it doesn't make sense to me.

  3. His W was changed to be better, its mana cost nerf was appropriate. I actually like this change to his kit.

  4. I've tried repeatedly to ask Riot just why Twitch was given Camo instead of Invisibility because as I said before, moving him to Camo erased his old playstyle that I loved. I have yet to get any kind of official response from Riot, even a short explanation of the logic for why they gave him Camo instead.

  5. Twitch is popular right now only because he's OP because from his Q changes. Nerf its duration, its too long. I'd ask for them to move him to Invisibility and really nerf its duration (maybe 3 to 6 seconds?) because then I could play my rat like I used to (and actually feel skilled by being good at him) but that's probably too much to get anything out of it.

I don't mind the duration, per se, on his Q.

It's that movespeed boost he gets from it. Even when you're on top of him when he activates it, unless you can CC him long enough to kill him, he can use it to out-speed you and once you're out of his camouflage detection radius, he's home free since he can juke you easily. Yes, you can carry a ControL Ward, but again, that only works so long as he's in the Control Ward range, which isn't long with how fast he moves.
