Fuck this rat boy...all he need is IE+Hurricane.Jumps out of the invis ,without any fucking warning (unlike rengar or eve) press R and deletes your entire team in couple seconds....This is ridiculous.Seriously ,i would rather play against cait every single game with her traps and her ridiculous headshots,than this shit...

Those nerfs were targetted at a specific part that made him stronger than he should be. Now I'm going to get downvotes for this, but he really isn't that overbroken right now. His laning phase was the main problem, and if he can't just snowball out of control, he will still take a while to ramp up like his old self (which wasn't seen as broken). His old self could pop out without the ability to be seen and literally walk past a team if they didn't have vision and immediately blow up the backline; now Twitch has to take a more strategic approach which led to an increased stealth time (unseen consequence-> better ganking). The better your ward coverage and vision, the more counterplay there is against this new version of Twitch (does help to put your main damage in the middle rather than on the outskirts as you would usually do). As a result, Twitch is very similar to his old self, but people just didn't play against him enough to get used to him and as such he seems more broken than he actually is.

No he won't take a while to ramp up. His laning phase IS still a problem and will be eternally now that riot changed his kit in the assassin update. He now has a kit issue, not a numbers issue, riot fucked up. Though I'll agree he isn't over bearing. Twitch and vayne aren't issues so much with twitch and vayne as they are everyone else being garbage becuase of the nerf parade throughout season 6.

"ADC Y IS OP" "ADC Y gets nerfed" "Now it's ADC X!" "X gets nerfed" "Y is op again now!" "Y gets nerfed twice out of spite" "wait now it's ADC W!" "W nerfed" Season ends changing a bunch of shit. "Hey why are these two ADCs who receive no or minimal nerfs so strong?"

Gee I wonder.

What exactly about his laning phase is OP? He can't harass effectively because he'll OOM, and he will lose most solo trades in the early game. If you let him get fed, of course he will get big, but if you can kill him once in lane or put him at a significant cs disadvantage he will just feed his ass off and not be able to do anything, because unlike Vayne, who in preseason was complained about as much or more so than Twitch, because her percent health damage allowed her to scale into late game regardless of how behind she was.

If you can beat twitch in lane, and you should be able to because his laning phase is weak, you should be able to beat him throughout the game.

Agreed, as a twitch main the W change is what put him over the top when it came for laning. One of his weaknesses was that he didn't have a means of wave clear. With his W now staying in a single area and accumulating stacks on minons or champs who stay in it, you wait for the minions to get 4 or of 5 stacks on them, E then clean up what ever hasn't been killed yet.

I'm expecting Twitch be nerfed again next month, meanwhile you can just ban him or play something tanky with alot of cc to shut him down.

im expecting his winrate to drop next patch because riot is deciding to buff Draven and he turns botlane into hell for any adc who gets near him

Lol I made this same post, but worded it better and gave reasons, but that gets completely dismissed XD But yes, I do agree with you: twitch nerfs were love taps, where they should have been hits to his early laning (to make it more pitiful like it was before).

Maybe they are planning on nerfing the items so they didn't want to go full on hard nerfs yet.

Wasent he nerfed back to what he was? The problem now is people know he's decent.

Twitch's early game is still lackluster. Take advantage of him then and keep pressuring him so he has a hard time affording his items. IMO he has always been the best late game adc so that's nothing new.

Well thats the problem.He reaches late game after 2 items.(IE+huricane) just like vayne.

hes balanced now, just git gud and dont feed him in the laning phase.

He's always been just about the best late game ADC. He's just also the best late game assassin now too, because the actual assassins got gutted.

Seems to have worked quite well. Might need some more nerfs, but this was a good start.
