What makes Twitch dangerous
Twitch stealths (Q) to reposition and flank, stacks poison that spreads and explodes (W/E), and his ultimate turns his autos into piercing bolts that hit every enemy in a line. From stealth in a teamfight, he can delete your entire backline in seconds.
How to play against Twitch
- 1Buy control wards and sweep — vision denies his stealth flanks entirely.
- 2Watch for his stealth timer and stay grouped so he can't catch you alone.
- 3Punish his weak early game; before items he is a fragile lane.
- 4His E poison detonation ramps with stacks — don't let him free-farm autos on you.
Weaknesses to exploit
- ✓Very squishy — dies instantly to any lock-down.
- ✓Stealth is countered hard by control wards and sweepers.
- ✓Weak early game before his items come online.
- ✓Immobile in his ult stance — CC him and he's done.
Abilities & how to counter them
What each of Twitch's abilities does — and how to play around it.
P
Tödliches GiftTwitchs normale Angriffe vergiften %i:OnHit% bei Treffer sein Ziel, wodurch es jede Sekunde absoluten Schaden erleidet.
Strong: his autos stack poison that ticks for heavy damage over time. Weak: don't let him free-auto you in lane; the stacks are the threat.
Q
HinterhaltTwitch camoufliert sich für kurze Zeit und erhält zusätzliches Lauftempo. Wenn die Tarnung endet, erhält er kurzzeitig Angriffstempo.Wenn ein von „Tödliches Gift“ betroffener Champion stirbt, wird die Abklingzeit von „Hinterhalt“ zurückgesetzt.
Strong: goes stealth to reposition and flank your backline. Weak: control wards and sweepers reveal him — vision kills his ambush.
W
GiftflascheTwitch wirft eine Giftflasche, die beim Aufprall explodiert und Flächenschaden verursacht. Getroffene Ziele werden verlangsamt und mit „Tödliches Gift“ belegt.
Strong: an AoE poison that slows and adds stacks for his detonation. Weak: a lobbed skillshot — step out of the puddle to avoid it.
E
KontaminierenTwitch infiziert vergiftete Gegner zusätzlich mit seinen üblen Seuchen.
Strong: detonates all poison stacks for burst and reveals stealthed enemies. Weak: on cooldown he loses his execute — trade in that window.
R
Feuern und beten!Twitch entfesselt die geballte Kraft seiner Armbrust und feuert Bolzen über eine große Distanz ab. Diese durchdringen alle Gegner, die ihren Weg kreuzen.
Strong: turns his autos into piercing bolts that hit everyone in a line. Weak: he's immobile while firing — CC or focus him and he folds.
Itemization
Control wards and sweepers are the hard counter to his stealth. Hard engage and lock-down delete him; group so he can't flank a lone carry.
