Twitch the Plague Rat

A Zaunite plague rat by birth, but a connoisseur of filth by passion, Twitch is not afraid to get his paws dirty. Aiming a chem-powered crossbow at the gilded heart of Piltover, he has vowed to show those in the city above just how filthy they really are. Always a sneaky sneak, when he's not rooting around in the Sump, he's digging deep into other people's garbage for discarded treasures… and perhaps a moldy sandwich.

MetaBot Tips

Twitch has less crowd control than most champions. This can make locking down kills or ganking for other players more difficult.
Twitch tends to have a lower vision score than other champions. Make sure you are working to place wards and clear enemy wards.
Twitch has a low base movespeed compared to many other champions. Play back towards your tower in lane, and consider early game boots when fighting skillshot-based laners.
Twitch has more health regen than most champions, making their playstyle optimal for aggressive trades in lane.
Twitch has a low base attack speed, which can make last hitting in the early game more challenging. It can also make percentage attack speed items scale less effectively than they do on other champions.

Gameplay Tips

Playing Twitch

Twitch's Attack Speed is among the highest in the game; try purchasing items with on-hit effects such as Black Cleaver or Wit's End.
Contaminate has a large range; apply as many stacks of Deadly Venom as possible before using it.
You can catch up to an enemy out of attack range with Venom Cask.

Playing Against Twitch

Twitch is fragile. Work with teammates to focus on him when you're able to catch him out of Camouflage.
Spell Shields won't block the damage from Deadly Venom, but they will block the effects Twitch can trigger with it.
If you suspect Twitch has left the lane, let your teammates know that Twitch is ''MIA.''
