Patch 5.22 Twitch is Weak

I think his lane trading is too unfair.

He's so squishy every other adc with ranged poke just have to land their Q's to chunk near 40% of his hp, he has to risk himself that damage just to get autos his W and E just to balance the damage out and probably uses his Q just to get in close enough to do it making him waste way more mana than his enemy and in the long run it isn't worth it simply because if both adc's chunk 60% of each others HP all Twitch's opponent has to do is land another poke just to kill or knock him out of lane. (It's insane that he has to use 2 or 3 of his skills that all cost 40 or more mana just to poke)

His E's use always seemed for execution not poke since it has noodle damage because no sane person will try to get all 6 stacks in when Cait or Varus can do that damage with just their Q.

The Q reset was nice but his current ult is not a decent trade. Most only use Q out of team fights to assassinate a lone squishy or escape and the delay stall from damage kinda makes it useless in most cases since a reset on a skill like that is to kill someone with an ally and quickly escape.

Personally I thought all he needed was work on his W with either giving it some damage when it already looks like a bomb even on all his skins, have it slow and apply only 1 stack or have its stack application rise with each level rank so that players that know he can't match up to the new bursty adcs can alternate to ranking W early and use it for more safety and poke instead of ranking Q.

This may be more of a rant but I'm not crying, it's just playing with Twitch is no fun when other adcs gets to have a party just all-ining him with just instant damage skills or CC that also does damage.

Twitch is the one hard carry (Outside of Poppy) that actually pays for it with a weak/vulnerable Early/Mid Game.

We need more champs like that.
