Twitch right now

I am confused as to how there hasn't been any sort of discussion as to how to not leave Twitch in the state he is in. Currently, he gets out-traded by nearly every single adc, including traditionally weak early game adcs such as Vayne. The idea is that he is supposed to fill in a role as a hypercarry, yet he gets outscaled by the current FOTM adcs as well. He doesn't out-poke, does not out-waveclear, does not out-scale the current FOTM, and relies extremely on mid-game pressure of other lanes and picks which requires a high amount of communication for soloQ standards, and cannot be done efficiently in the first place considering he often just gets out-dueled and pushed into turret.

When a team can be built around him à la ranked 5's and professional teams or when an opponent misplays badly enough that he can get a very substantial lead, he can have presence, but i do not feel that this justifies leaving the champ that I love so dearly being left currently .16% higher in win rate than Urgot.

I have 400+ games on this champ and it just really pains me to see Twitch in this current state. I understand I have bias towards this champ as a Twitch main, but I also feel that his win rate falling this much and his complete absence in a current adc meta dominated by 'hypercarries' such as himself shows that there is some merit to my complaints/concerns. If a Rioter could give their views on Twitch's current state right now and if there are any possible plans for him, that would make my day. I just want to enjoy playing my favorite champ again.

Thanks

Whenever i see a twitch i know i can force him out of lane easily. When I am mid, I go bot lane to kill twitch and then go back. He is pretty harmless, and his stealth is not surprising anymore because people have gotten a bit used to stealth since oracles removal.

a twitch that uses his q well can outduell/scale any other Champion in the game...if anything they still have to nerf his q duration.

I understand that increases to his base AD are currently on the PBE, which ought to help.

Twitch trades fine, just make sure you get an even amount of autos off then close out the trade with e!
