So i tried to pick up Twitch recently

and holy crap wtf is with this guy? Is there any other ADC that is as backwards as this dude? Like I've played Draven, I've played Jhin, I've played Vayne and Cait, and while I'm not an ADC main, I was able to hold my own generally speaking.

But wtf is with this dude? He is weak as hell!

Now I know that there are a lot of twitch players out there right now that are probably screaming at me "YOU JUST HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO PLAY HIM!!" but please let me explain why he is weak.

first lets start with his passive. Dumb as all hell. Darius's bleed passive is stronger then this. (think about it, when was the last time you killed someone by the poison ALONE). It does NO damage if you try to use it to trade, and even when you go into an all out fight it doesn't do as much as it feels it should, takes 6 stacks in order for it to feel like it hurts the enemy. Right now the only use for it is to stack it up and use your E. Which means that you are using this passive just for your E. That is bad. In a way it would be BETTER for him if his passive didn't do damage because that way you wouldn't attract un-neccessary turret aggro and wouldn't ruin your farming.

His Q = nothing wrong here. Dope AF. Well actually a little bit wrong. The amount of time it takes to go off is INSANE considering you are getting both an audio and visual head up that he is stealthing. 1.5 seconds if you DONT take damage. otherwise its 4.5 SECONDS!! Really? Considering that you also have to wait for the movespeed boost that is just ludicrous.

His W = Literally just a way to had passive stacks without auto attacking. Does ZERO damage upon impact. I am shattering a glass beaker of poison on top of your head. The least I could ask for would be some damage with that.

His E = The only way that auto attacking anyone is going to feel effective. You HAVE to use this or else.

His Ult = the only time that auto attacking by itself feels good.

Like wtf are you supposed to but on him? You want to use E so you don't need crit. But now you need a mix of AS and AD, which are actually a little awkward to build. survivability is crap, his Q

And I know what you are saying. "You just have to learn how to play him". Well if I can play Cait, Vayne, and then I can play Draven and Jhin, who are very diffrent kinds of ADC, then what am I missing on Twitch? I've tried being aggressive early game. I've tried being a bitch early game (jesus this guys farming sucks)

This was a rant. Thank you for reading

Hes really weak early game and weak mid game too. But after you get 3 items maybe item 3142 item 3031 item 3085 you can pretty much assassinate any non-tank with your ult. You have to reach late game and hes pretty beast.

You build him halfway between an assassin and an ADC. He was the ADC using Youmuu's before it became meta, after all.

Also, your assessment's a bit off. Twitch's E doesn't do enough damage to focus on it, not by a long shot. It's considerably weaker than Kalista's Rend for the most part.

You build him to AA, abusing his fairly strong AS steroid from Q and his ult + Hurricane to shred teams. He takes a bit of time to scale, though, so you need to be good enough to survive laning and farm up.

I remember just how broken this guy was way back in the beginning lol. 1 expunge at full stacks killed pretty much anything early game.

hes really broken once you get to late game. he can kill the entire enemy team within his ult active its ridiculous.

his early game is basically non existent but his late game is amazing, he is probably the best team killing adc in the game if you build item 3085 and spread your plague to the whole team then E all of them you will do decent damage to tanks and almost kill squishies and crit is necessary to his kit because when you pop out of invisibility his AS boost along with crit just shreds resonably anyone especially with bortk
