If Twitch uses ambush as the particle is in the air, he should still survive unless he gets killed in one swift burst, shouldn't he?

Why don't non-riot tournaments start offering more/different bans without Riot's input?

That should get around their (Zilean's) stubbornness.

ESL has worked with 4 bans before with 1 ban done in chat. But only for their online stuff.

I mean they could but the client is kinda limiting them atm. There really should be a ban, pick, ban, pick rotation like DotA imo or at least add another ban since we have so many champs.

It depends. He's damn squishy, as squishy as Lux so sometimes he can get away, other times one Taric stun is enough to kill him.

The stealth takes longer to activate when you're being attacked too.

Twitch's squishiness really hurts him as a jungler since if he ganks a scary mid, they can just turn on him and kill him.

On Twitch I really think he's not played much due to community bias stemming from how terrible he was for the longest time, and the remake gutting his derpy roaming. He's actually a very well rounded adc with decent stats, a fantastic positioning tool and awesome teamfight DPS that scales very well as the game goes on. He has "new champ" mana costs, decent poke in lane which allows him to play safe when necessary. He's not very mobile but is far better than Ashe or Varus at escaping ganks due to his stealth. The nerf to and subsequent underuse of Oracles really helps him with initial positioning in a teamfight.

Also when you use Runaan's and Twitch ult you can hit the same target twice. Once with a primary bolt and once with a secondary. Is dumb.

According to the wiki.


I wasn't a fan of Runan's when I tried it (a recurring theme with that item). Way too small of an arc, though I guess that would be less of a problem in his ult. Just felt that the 3 crits from SotD give you more punch. Coming out of stealth with ult and hitting SotD after the first shot is huge burst not to mention picking off badly positioned players early in a fight at all stages of the game.

I didn't know it was an arc. I know it feels that way but I thought it was a 300 radius around the target. I agree that's still puny but it's the same size as hydra.

twitch has like the best level 1-3 of any ADC and you can basically win the lane straight out in that time
only champ who can stand up to him is probably MF or draven but no one plays draven and in the MF matchup it's mostly decided by supports


I would leave ad carries out of this, its 100% about the supports. If you are twitch janna you cant really do shit early, if you are say twitch/lulu you can stomp something like cait/nunu, but if its cait/leona its a whole different ball game.

also twitch doesnt really like taric in the same way draven doesnt, really ruins his combos and he has no escape

No.
The CD is reset when the poisioned target is hit, which is why you can't spam a million instantly.
Zhonyas -> no hit -> no RESET

CD isn't completely reset. It goes to .5 seconds. But yes this sounds right.


Yeah when I said "reset" I was referring to 0.5 seconds. But anyway, thanks.

And Lux is actually not that squishy because she has a shield with great base and ratio.

You weren't around for the Rammus Pick/ban every game times?

At one point he was considered the best jungler, but Riot repeatedly nerfed him, now hes OK (heh), but he is fairly weak in jungle duels. Hes got speed and tankiness, and in the right hands hes still great, but hes no longer a pubstomp.

Rammus got nerfs on every skill except his ult, along nerfs to his stats. He was always rather susceptible to counterjungling, but now even more so after all the nerfs.

He can still work very well if you have strong lanes that can protect your jungle.

Pretty much exactly this. Rammus' clear speed isn't that great and because of his poor dueling ability, any invade can just absolutely wreck him. But, with proper wards and lanes that pay attention to their opponent I think he's fantastic to play still.

Rammus only has a single target CC that is melee range and his Q can be blocked.

Haven't played Rammus for a long time but I felt that unless you want to really practice the champion, you hit a ceiling where it gets more and more difficult to gank as players are better at dealing with his ganks. Also I guess with more champions having gap closing/disengage, it's harder to play him when your CC's require you to be pretty close to them.

I still think he's a decent jungler though, just that your average player probably doesn't feel the need or want to learn how to play Rammus when you could gank pretty efficiently with FotM champions.
