@Meddler/Riot Balance: What is the current position on Twitch?

Hi Meddler, I was just trying out Twitch again for the first time in a while, did pretty well to say the least. Was checking his stats on Champion.gg, and nothing really seems to stand out; win rate and play rate have been pretty stable for the last few patches.

The thing for me is, he felt good. Like, really good. It's only one game, so I can't fully tell whether that's because of some matchmaking quirk (my support was really great), if I just clicked with Twitch this game (he felt really good), or if he might be overtuned. I feel like most games I have with Twitch, Twitch goes legendary, though the same is true for Varus, so it might just be an issue of experience (players being better at a champion than their opponent, plus the wildcard factor). Was just wondering what Riot's position is at the moment, thanks

We think he's potentially too strong, but don't have any immediate plans to make any changes - we're happy watching how he goes for a bit for now.

@ Meddler As a Twitch main, I feel like he's in a good spot when I have a good lane with lane opponenets and junglers that don't take advantage of his clear weaknesess early I can be super effective and melt team fights late. If ANYTHING is currently making him too strong it's the lack of availability to pink wards late in the game due to item restrictions and inventory space.
