Twitch needs 1 Buff/QoL change to fix his problem

Elewd··27 votes·1,415 views

Please riot, Make it so when you are stealthing as twitch, minion autoattacks don't extend the time it takes to stealth by 6 seconds, the amount of times i've died or failed to sneak up on someone because a minion autoattack reset the stealth timer is too much.

edit : i would be fine if just getting the reset stealth made you immune to dots/minion aggro not procing the stealth delay, since you have to get a kill to do that.

I truly hope you are joking

He obviously is lol. He's saying Twitch doesn't have popularity, similar to Urgot or Galio

Who is this galio you speak of? Did you mean garen?

I so agree with this change, but I'd be happy to leave it as if we could...

get a passive that actually does some fucking damage. Deadly Venom is basically just "How much damage will Contaminate do?" indicator. Should be renamed to Mild-Inconvenience Venom.

I feel like he got shafted when they did the ADC reworks. Stealthing when killing someone with Expunge is kind of cool, but didn't really give him anything reliable. Yeah... he can be great lategame, but surviving his laning phase isn't very intuitive.

While we're at it, let's also give him an Ashe arrow ult and Teemo shrooms

I should start playing him again. he use to be my main. Might just be bad luck, but I have not had a lot of good games with him in a while.

I'm in a similar boat. He's my favorite of all the marksman, but he's got a tough early game to wade through. He feels like if he's not protected and spoon fed, he won't get to his deadly as all hell late game unless he sneaks in a few kills to catch back up.

Getting to late game Twitch is like reaching the promised land. It feels so good and rewarding.

Have you tried rushing Yomama's Ghostblade into Hurricane on Twitch rather than leading with BorK?

Popping the Ghostblade active along with Twitch's Ult results in some absolutely devastating damage.

I don't mind minion damage delaying his stealth. I do, however, mind that they get to delay it just as badly as a champion.

And DoTs should not count. Otherwise Deathfire Touch is too good against him.

I'm pretty sure twitch has a pretty good win rate right now, and I think he's in a decent spot. If they change anything I think it should be a mana refund on his E when killing minions.

He's in a pretty bad spot. He doesn't have a reason to be picked over any ADCs. Twitch's true damage is laughably weak with it only doing 216 over 6 seconds (meaning health regen is taken in consideration and other healing/shields will nullify the damage almost entirely) and he doesn't show the common signs of being a late game hypercarry. Having a strong amount of self peel/mobility and having really powerful scaling steroids like Vayne's Silver Bolts or Jinx's Rockets. He really needs a few buffs or a rework to make him considerably viable. He's a squishy, immobile ADC, with mediocre damage.

Another buff that would be good, reset Qs stealth you slightly faster (3~ seconds?) if you take damage, so you can actually use it more than once during teamfights.

Elewd1 votes

well in teamfights, if you arn't getting focused or dots arn't on you, yoru stealth reset is already 3 seconds. so i dont mind it there. his teamfighting is probably at the toptier for all marksman if you think about it.

Isn't minion aggro, like, EXTREMELY important early game?

So you're asking for an exception on Twitch? Why? And how is that a QoL? And why does Twitch need buffs? I watch Qtpie wreck faces just fine.

Bright Turtle2 votes

I don't believe he's saying twitch shouldn't get minion aggro, rather the OP is saying the minion attacks shouldn't make twitches stealth warm up timer extend to 6secons and instead only champion damage applies to that.

Also Qtpie using twitch doesn't exactly mean everyone else can do the same, he is Qtpie after all :D

Elewd1 votes

I'm not asking for him to be an exception to the thing, the issue is that if a single caster minion's attack hits you while you are stealthing it resets the timer before you go into stealth to 6 seconds, the same as any champion hitting you, or dots on you. If i get the resetting stealth after a kill, i should be able to use the stealth, not wait 6 seconds before i can actually reset to reposition or retreat.
