Give Twitch A 1350 Skin

the weeaboo··7 votes·897 views

I, as a rat main, have wanted a high quality skin for a long time coming now. And it seems like nobody every backed me up (other than fellow rats) because he was so off-meta. Now that he is a somewhat popular champ I was hoping Riot could actually make him something good. You will make money from all the metahuggers now!

As much as I like his current skins, and as much as I love the new splash arts, it just isn't cutting it. Twitch has had green everything for 6 years. Twitch has had no difference in color palette for the lifespan of a kindergardener. And while some skins do give some small things (Gangster sound effects, Vandal pellets, SSW recall, etc.) He only has 2 skins which are on the market daily. And one of these unavailable skins is BEYOND unavailable. You can't get it in the store, you can't get in in Hextech crafting, you can't get in "Your Shop", you can't get it. Period.

And it really seems like you guys are passing up on some opportunities to make some skins that could really work, and are giving them to champs that already have plenty of good skins. Namely Heartseeker Lucian and Quinn. Coulda had Heartbreaker. Poison stacks as small hearts, and if you E then the hearts break. Throwing a love potion as his W. Some fancy red arrows for his autos woulda been nice. But you gave it to two champs that already have a 'significant' skin (Lucian - PROJECT and Hired Gun, Quinn - Woad Scout)

In case you don't have any ideas how about:

  • Heartbreaker Twitch
  • Omega Squad Twitch
  • Surprise Party Twitch
  • Cottontail Twitch
  • Headhunter Twitch

TL;DR I'm a Twitch main tired of looking at green autos plz give me a expensive skin Rito

Edit: Who downvoted this? What?

This applies to more champions I'm afraid. I don't understand either why quinn and lucian had to get new skins.

Cause Twitch has 7 and they have 3... so yeah. Champs with less skins should get more.

Like I said: Twitch basically has 2 skins. The rest are legacy, completely unobtainable, or only available during Worlds. And also like I said, Lucian and Quinn already have good skins. Meanwhile Twitch has 8 outdated skins with none of them offering any change in color, icons for his poison, etc.

completely unobtainable, or only available during Worlds.

lololol

They can be gotten at any time. Mystery Gifts, Hextech, ect make all of these available year round, even if they are at random. So they are not unobtainable. Only Medieval Twitch is unobtainable as the RAF system is no more.

Plus they were all in store not long ago when Twitch's splash arts were updated as well. So there are plenty of times to pick up any of his skins.

Yes he only has 2 in store generally but that's not the full catalog, and that's what Riot is clearly looking at right now when they do some of the skins they've done.

When I said unobtainable I meant Medieval only. The likelyhood of you getting any of his other skins thru Hextech or Mystery Gifts is astronomical considering you're trying to get one of 5 skins out of 800+ (0.00625% chance). Sure the bundle WAS available for a very short time after his splashes got updates, but I certainly don't see that coming around again ever.

Yes, but that is the way Riot looks at it. As I had said that on Twitter to KateyKhaos once about the fact that the last 3 Morgana skins are either Limited (Victorious) or Legacy (Lunar & Bewitching). So even though some of their skins are in store the others are still "available" through those others means.

Lunar and Bewitching will come back for Lunar revel and Halloween. Twitches skins aren't linked to events when they'll come out except SSW.

Anyway were derailing the post here. I WANT A GOOD TWITCH SKIN. Going back to Morgana, all three of the skins you mentioned change her ability effects, etc. meanwhile Twitch gets nothing. He gets green arrows and rat skulls. For nearly a decade.

Have been wanting a higher quality twitch skin for ages as well. Worst part is that he's been green for almost 8 years now. That's right: he was apart of the first 15 champions in the game and still doesn't have a high quality skin.

As for other champions that need skins; I've made a list and among the 8 or so that really need skins, Twitch's argument is just as valid as the classic viktor or cassiopeia.

And Headhunter Twitch please Riot :(

Oooooooh Headhunter Twitch. I like it. Will add to list.

I think part of the problem is that he is a "funny" champion so it's hard to give him "serious" skins without destroying his identity.

They made the "happy" teemo into a serious ptsd spec ops squad member. They could make a serious Twitch skin if they actually tried. Which they haven't :)

Yeah that's why I want an Omega Squad Twitch skin. Plus Twitch and Teemo are similar in their kits (DoT, Invis, Assassins that aren't designed to be assassins). I think overall it would work very well on him.

Twitch has 7 skins, Quinn and Lucian only had 3 and now the upcoming they'll have 4. So they deserved them.
