Playing against Twitch

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

1

Buy Control Wards: Twitch in Q stealth is an ADC assassin. Control Wards reveal him.

2

Twitch is very squishy and has no mobility — when you spot him, burst him immediately.

3

His R has a limited duration (5s): disengage and wait for R to expire before re-engaging.

4

In lane, respect his invisible cheese at level 2 — ward the bushes and play safe.
