Description
| Lore: | TO "H.I.V.E. Incident Report" Code Violation: Industrial Homicide Casefile Status: Unsolved Investigating Agent: Rol, P.
Team responded to report of suspicious character, criminal activity; proceeded to Sump Works, Sector 90TZ. Sector 90TZ notably absent. In its place: sinkhole, smoke, noxious fumes. Interviews with private security indicate urgent need for better private security. Response team entered sinkhole. Toxic runoff had melted away building wreckage. Two survivors located, one partially liquefied and dripping off catwalk. Six deceased bodies found among wreckage, three of them partial; two appear to predate incident. Suspect seems to have removed jewelry, accessories, and dental implants, then sorted them into piles by color. Causes of death include acute deceleration, caustic liquidation, and/or fatal crossbow wounds. Unclear if lab's destruction was itself the perpetrator's motive or an attempt to cover tracks. Survivor #1 (Ra Qintava, facility researcher) brought up for interview, but unable to provide statement due to 1) post-traumatic stress and 2) liquefaction of tongue and lower jaw. Awaiting toxin screen and prosthesis fitting. Search-and-rescue discovered apparent shantytown constructed from refuse. Recovered items include:
Survivor #2 (Valori Olant, Sludge Analyst) in recovery; regained lucidity following prolonged therapeutic electrocution. Statement transcript excerpt follows:
End transcript. At this point victim began screaming; has yet to stop. [UPDATE: Qintava, Written Testimony] Suspect summary, as reported:
H.I.V.E - "Enforcing Progress!" |

Patch History
Q now resets whenever poisoned champions die.
The sneakiest marksman of the bunch, we're incentivizing Twitch to take risks and embrace his assassin-side by giving him the ability to get in and get out (rather than 'get in and get flattened').
General
Q - Ambush
R - Rat-Ta-Tat-Tat
v5.18
Twitch stealths faster while in combat.
The landscape of the game’s changed quite a bit since Twitch was last a staple pick, but looking at his hyper-carry competition, the rat’s primed for a big comeback. Already seeing spot play for the unique assassination he brings from the bottom lane, these changes pair with 5.16’s Ambush tweaks to ease the pains of setting up (or escaping) sticky situations.
v5.16
Q mana cost down. R damage up at later ranks.
We're not aiming to raise the rat's power level massively this patch (as we tend to believe he's not incredibly far-off), but with marksmen as a class feeling unloved as of late, we're continuing to look at playing up the unique aspects of each. Loosening the restriction on Twitch's ability to ambush should force respect from opponents while letting him embrace his stealthy side more often.
We're also cleaning up the numbers on his ultimate, because 36 attack damage is weird to look at. #cleannumbers
Q - Ambush
R - Rat-Ta-Tat-Tat
- "This was a notorious bug that kept particularly sneaky players from taking full advantage of their ability to ambush unsuspecting base structures. Shout-outs to the community for helping sniff this one out!"
- R - Rat-Ta-Tat-Tat
- SEWER SKEWERS FOR EVERYBODY! : Now hits inhibitors and the Nexus
v5.6
Passive damage up.
- "A pungent late-game threat, Twitch combines damage, subterfuge and foul stenches to put teams on his back...given that you don't exterminate him before he scales up. Even with a weaker early-game than most other marksmen, we're adding some punch back to his poison to encourage and reward the smart trades so necessary to his success."
- 25px Passive - Deadly Venom
- DAMAGE PER STACK :
1/2/3/4/5/6 true damage (at levels 1/4/7/10/13/16)⇒ 2/3/4/5/6 true damage (at levels 1/5/9/13/17
- DAMAGE PER STACK :
v4.10
Twitch's passive does less damage per second. Twitch can now be delayed from entering stealth (through damage) for much longer than before.
"We think Twitch has awesome lategame power, but he's also got a offensively strong early game on top of having a lot of safety throughout. To focus on that safety aspect, Ambush's stealth often let Twitch make an escape even when already caught out by enemies. We do think the new AD itemization changes will benefit the smelly rat, but the focus here is (mostly) to provide some additional counterplay for preventing stealth (hit him in the face!).

v3.10a
Summary: Twitch’s Expunge now deals less damage at early to mid levels.
