The base stat changes were mainly made to allow buffs to Twitch's spells while also buffing some of his base stats to better fit his role as Ranged Assassin/Marksman. The Ambush changes were mainly made to make Ambush more of a spell you used to start a fight and then initiate instead of a delayed steroid. They were also made to fix the problem with damage of any kind completely screwing Twitch over for an escape. Now, damage lessens his escape potential instead of completely removing it. Venom Cask has been changed so there is a bigger purpose to level it and give Twitch some better wave clear later in the game, something he severely lacks. It also helps Jungle Twitch a little after the base stat changes, but more changes might be needed. Contaminate changes were made to make Contaminate be a little better to use and more potentially bursty if you ultimate an entire team and are able to get six stacks on a lot of them. I also made it so the duration of Deadly Venom is refreshed so Twitch has more DoT potential with his passive. Getting a kill now ALSO refunds the mana cost on Contaminate. This lead me to worry about Twitch's poke potential in lane if he maxed this ability, so I increased the cool down a little bit at earlier ranks and a decent bit at higher ranks. Finally, I made it so Ratatatatataa's duration is extended by deaths of marked enemies, making Twitch much more of the team sweeper that he is if he is able to get some kills in those fights. The cool down now doesn't start till after Ratatatatataa ends however since I didn't want this impacting more than just the duration of Ratatatataa and not indirectly reduce the cool down of it. These changes were made to slightly buff Twitch as well as make him more of the Ranged Assassin/Split Pusher that he is. Thoughts?
