Ashe
Ashe is one of the scariest laners in the game. Her slow is very punishing, and she will outkite you. She likes to pair with any support that can take advantage of her aggressive early. Play as safe as possible and look to win in lategame teamfights. Best supports against Ashe are disengage supports like janna, or catchers like morgana. DO NOT BRING ENGAGE SUPPORTS WITH SHORT RANGE SHE WILL BULLY YOU.
Lulu
Lulu is Twitch's bread and butter partner. She has solid tools for keeping in alive in lane, and lategame no character can match her buffing and peel potential.

Introduction
About Me
I am RandomNPC777, she/her. I've been playing league for about 4 years, and I coach middle and highschool aged kids how to play league.
Pros and Cons
|
PROS
+ Long range
+ High damage + Good roams + Stealthy + Strong lategame Twitch has very high damage lategame, and his Ambush provides him with incredible roaming and cheese potential in the early game. His Spray and Pray is an incredible attack damage steriod that makes him a longranged powerhouse for its duration.
|
CONS
- Squishy
- No crowd control - Low utility - Difficult to play - Weak Early Twitch is one of the only adcs to have no major crowd control in his kit. He has absolutely no tools to keep himself alive, making him an incredibly complex champion to learn and play. He relies on creative use of Ambush to keep him in line with other adcs, especially in early game.

Twitch takes a level of Ambush because of the utility it provides, before maxing Contaminate for the damage. After that, Twitch finishes maxing Ambush. He maxes Venom Cask last because its scaling is minimal. He takes a point in Spray and Pray whenever avaliable.
Summoner Spells

Runes
Main Runes
|
Lethal Tempo
|
Lethal Tempo is Twitch's best main rune by far. It gives him bonus damage in extended fights, and extra range and safety in lategame. It's worth mentioning, there are a couple of Twitch players who swear by Press the Attack for its burst damage and synergy with Contaminate. I still much prefer Lethal Tempo.
|
|
Triumph is the best option of the first set. It helps Twitch snowball in bloody games and keeps him alive during lategame teamfights.
|
|
Legend: Alacrity for the incredible attack speed scaling it provides lategame.
|
|
Coup de Grace or Cut Down. Coup de Grace is better into squishy teams, and Cut Down is better into tankier teams.
|
Secondary Runes
|
Inspiration |
VS
|
Domination |
|
Inspirationis a standard secondary pick, and I go it most games. I take Biscuit Delivery for lane sustain, and Magical Footwear for the gold value and movement it provides. Overall, just a good standard safe pick that you usually can't go wrong with. |
Domination secondary is a more niche pick, and I usually only take it in games where I'm partnered witha strong engage support into a weak early game. I take Eyeball Collection and Treasure Hunter to help snowball out of control. |
Items
Core Items
|
|
|
Berserker's GreavesBuild first every game. The amount of value the attack and movement speed Berserker's Greaves provides is unmatched. Especially for Twitch, Berserker's Greaves helps Twitch roam around the map and look for kills with Ambush
|
|
|
|
Blade of the Ruined King Blade of the Ruined King is very powerful because of its abilities. The movement speed on third hit, lifesteal, and percent current health damage are all incredibly valuable and useful tools. It perfectly compliments Twitch's hybrid adc assassin playstyle.
|
|
|
|
Guinsoo's rageblade Guinsoo's Rageblade is just a huge damage statbuff. It doesn't do anything else, and it doesn't really need to. It plays into the rest of Twitch's kit to make his lategame even scarier.
|
|
|
|
Runaan's Hurricane Runaan's Hurricane comboes into the rest of Twitch's high damage kit, especially Contaminate and Spray and Pray to transform him into a terrifying AOE murder powerhouse. Once you build this item, you start to look for more teamfights.
|
Situational items
|
|
|
Bloodthirster Bloodthirster provides sustain in extended fights for Twitch. It's best picked in games where you take anavoidable poke/burn damage. Counterintuitively, I would not reccomend this into teams with high burst damage, like Zed or Ahri because they can usually kill you before the healing can really take into effect.
|
|
|
|
Guardian Angel Guardian Angel is best taken when you are incredibly ahead and a signifigant portion of your teams damage, and/or when you find yourself getting picked off at the start of fights.
|
|
|
|
Lord Dominik's Regards Lord Dominik's Regards is an anti-tank statstick. It is built into tanky teams you'd otherwise have trouble shredding.
|
|
|
|
Mercurial Scimitar Mercurial Scimitar is mostly built into Malzahar and Mordekaiser. It's active item allows you to cleanse both of their ultimates, which would otherwise mean certain doom. Other than that, there are a couple situations where you get focused down by a very heavy cc team.
|
|
|
|
Mortal Reminder Mortal Reminder is the adc's answer to an antiheal item. Generally you get less value out of it than you do other items, and you're better off having other teammates build antiheal, but it's solo queue and cooperative teammates are a myth, and it's better than you have antiheal than nobody having antiheal.
|
|
|
|
Maw of Malmortius Maw of Malmortius is the strongest anti-mage item in the game. It's very good when you find yourself being bursted down by magic damage threats. However, I don't usually reccomend building it because Twitch is very good at avoiding being bursted down with creative use of Ambush.
|
|
|
|
Kraken Slayer Kraken Slayer is a good general damage item, but I find myself taking it very rarely over Lord Dominik's Regards when I need more damage into tanks, and defensive items when I need to not die.
|
AP Twitch
| AP Twitch |
|
★ There is an AP variant of Twitch with Nashor's Tooth and Hail of Blades. Essentially you're trading off dps for burst damage on Contaminate This means a much more powerful early game, at the cost of a much weaker lategame. Your gameplay loop becomes much more typical to that of an AP assassin. I generally think that the AD build is a lot stonger, but the AP build certainly isn't bad. AP can also be run support and midlane. If you're curious about the AP build, I reccomend this lovely guide by Exolol

Gameplay advice
Botlane wards
For when you don't know where to ward in laning phase.
You can also ward bot bushes, but that's very situational and I'd generally let the support do that.
Some quick tips on how to ward efficiantly!
Generally Stealth Ward is best used outside of bushes, in choke points the enemy is likely to be forced to walk past. For example, if you're pushed up you'll want to ward somewhere in bot river in case jungler is roaming down.
Control wards are best used in places where the enemy is likely to have warded. Tribush is the most common example. It's very important for at least one person to have control warded an objective for a teamfight, to deny vision.

Twitch Stealth
Twitch's Ambush is one of the most complex tools in his kit. In a lot of ways, you want to be playing him a little bit like Evelynn. You should be looking to use it to generate advantages wherever possible. Set up the suprise 1v2, roam and get some kills midlane, even use it in botlane to bait an engage on your support. You want to use this ability as much as possible. It is Twitch's bread and butter.
Early Game
Early game as Twitch you have two goals. Gain as much cs as possible to help snowball you into mid and lategame, and use Ambush to try and look for cheesy roams and fights. If you manage to get ahead as Twitch, you become a snowball assassin, much like Talon. It's very important that you buy control wards whenever possible and contest as much vision as you possible can, especially to help jungler if they go for an early dragon.

Mid Game
Mid game as Twitch you want to focus on generating personal gold wherever possible, as well as dishing out as much damage in teamfights as you can. Usually at this part of the game you want to swap with midlane and buy Farsight Alteration. As much as you're looking for personal gold and value, at this point in the game you're relatively important. You want to be looking to help with objective fights, roaming around the map and lending a helping hand wherever possible. It's generally pretty important to stay close to your support, even at this point in the game, because basically everything can murder you if you get caught out.

Late Game
Finally! You've reached lategame! Now your objective is to dish out as much damage as humanly possible with Ambush, Ghost, and Spray and Pray. At this point of the game you are the carry, and you need to act like it. Generally you want to wait to join fights from Ambush until after the enemy team has used important crowd control abilities. You're very useful on the back ends of fights, after everyone else has their abilities on cooldown. It's also worth looking for weirder angles with Ambush so you can avoid getting hit by AOE abilities.
