Imagine being allowed to be busted for 2 years straight

{quoted}

The reason that Twitch feels busted (at least my theory for why) is that he is allowed to position freely.

In the current meta, ADC champions are constantly buffed to make them relevant against the powerful assassins and bruisers that they have to be dealing with. This means that when an ADC positions well, gets enough peel, or isn't focused down, they deal stupid amounts of damage and win games very quickly.

Granted this requires that they had adequate time to farm (probably minions, maybe champions) but this is another area where Twitch shines. There aren't many ADC champions in the current meta that can farm safely in the mid-game (they'll get picked off by an assassin, dove by a tank, etc) but Twitch at least has the potential to pick up waves before running away with stealth (this won't work every time, but it's not nothing).

So Twitch doesn't necessarily have too much power, his safe farming and free positioning just allow him to fit the meta incredibly well.

Also he's annoying to play against, but that's neither here nor there.

"Powerful bruisers"

I Lol'd. That consists of what, basically camille and jax and no one else?

When I play a diver or an assassin VS a twitch I notice one HUGE problem... how can I hit what I cant see?

He has at max rank, about 15 seconds to not be found or attacked as the team fight begins to unfold... and i'm stuck not being able to do my job until SURPRISE!!!!!!!! were all half health :P in a second and we got about 1-2 more seconds to flash out or kill him and hope we can win the rest of the fight with that disadvantage.

Win rate isn’t always a direct correlation to what defines a healthy/unhealthy champion.

If that’s the case I could argue that Yasuo is balanced because he’s at a 50% win rate, but that’s not the case because almost every player that has played against him shows severe disapproval against his kit.

The divorce rate in Spain a few years ago correlated with the amount of Hamsters being bought at stores...

Does this mean that hose Hamsters are responsible?

no, clearly not.

Correlation =/= causation

Spray and Pray interacting with Runaan's Hurricane as per current makes him troublesome to balance.

His stealth detection radius is almost melee. Why? Evelynn, a melee champion, has twice the detection range. Twitch no longer has the fade delay either.

Stealth duration - simply too high. 10 seconds at rank 1 on top of all the utility, PLUS resets for every takedown. All this for a good, spammable 40 mana cost. Where's the high risk / high reward -pattern?

Venom Cask has a hefty 25% slow at rank 1, and a massive AoE. For such high impact ADC, might be too much considering all the side bonuses he gets? >>

We can also take a look at his base stats and say he doesn't trade much, compared to Lucian for example, for all the merry goodies. Armor difference: 1, and so on.

is what I think breaks the bank. I think he would be a strong champ even without it, this just puts him over the top.

But at least Orianna is healthy for the most part and actually has real counterplay and interactivity.

She's well designed.

Meanwhile Twitch and Vayne are literal proof that stealth and range should never go together

Orianna is a well-designed champion. She also had several periods where she wasn't played. Like at this very moment.

She's had high playrates for long periods of time but always hovering around 50% or lower.

WTF MALZ IS SO BROKEN I CAN DO LITERALLY NOTHING buy lol nt kid. lolking said nothing about . ...fine then, you fuck. I have a stand near me. an ally has been slain A summoner has disconnected
