Will twitch have invisibility or camouflage?

Title.

His stealth works kind of both ways. In one sense, he uses it as an assassin to enter a fight unseen and open up ADC damage on the enemy back line (while not being caught by the enemy assassin/front line). In this sense, it's how camouflage was described: a pre-fight positioning tool.

However in the opposite scenario, a Twitch may use his stealth as an escape tool once he's been caught out in a fight. It takes longer to activate if he's taking damage, but if he does succeed (e.g. he's being chased through his jungle) then it becomes more of a tactical tool and seems more like invisibility.

So which one will it be? I feel like Twitch should only have camouflage, in the few games I play against him he seems to wreck every late teamfight if a pink isn't thrown down. He'd be quite strong if he can't be detected in those scenarios. I'm sure all the Twitch mains are expecting invisibility though.

I asked this one earlier too. I feel like they'd give him camouflage because it would retain the most uses he has for "stealth". Only problem with that is we lose a big part of who Twitch is on the sneaking away from and around people front. It'd also be a massive nerf to his only escape mechanism...

Either way, I'm holding onto the edge of my seat waiting for specifics on these changes; being a Twitch main and all :(

As a Twitch main, I rarely see pinks in my games. People don't use them as a way to counter his stealth - and why would they? He could come in from any side while he's stealthed, and the range on his autos with his ult is much too big to allow them to use a pink to spot him in a lane fight unless all 5 of the enemy team have one down. It would be literally useless to have him be able to be detected by pinks, so Riot will probably opt to go for allowing a bit more tactical play into his stealth than forcing him to brute force sneak behind the enemy backline and 1-shot them all. Him being spotted for getting close would make so much of what makes Twitch Twitch impossible for him to do, meanwhile him being unable to be spotted by pinks really only cuts some counterplay in lane phase - his weakest point in the entire game.

Setting up pinks in the jungle surrounding where you're intending to next fight is a good way to make twitch useless right now.

I've also main him and I do hope his kit won't be touch.

If you can get at least halfway from mid lane to bot lane or vice versa while stealthed it probably counts as camouflage.
