Twitch adc, at minimum low elo strong

Starting Items

• Typical start, don't use cull unless you lose lane almost immediately and then buy it as an extra item, and focus on turret camping and farming.
• Second item, if you lose lane fast and need gold.
• Buy these if you need to kill opp site, or to ward tri-bush. Useful for keeping yourself hidden, buy them with spare gold.

Core Items

• Typically my first item, I love this thing with twitch and the new modifications, black out keeps you hidden, boosts your damage on engages. Make sure your support keeps their vision shut down on you so you an ambush easily.
• MANDATORY item, you need this, 1st or second.
• I typically use mobility, i like to roam, and after 5 seconds with ambush on, you can run from fights pretty decently. Berserker's if you just want damage and don't care about running around.
• Tank shredding items. Some prefer bortk first over duskblade. I say, it doesn't matter until they start building a decent amount of health. Lord dominik's is your typical armor pene, tank shredder. Mortal's should be used against squishy spam healer teams, soraka, sona, things like that.
• Full build, rpfc gives you extra range, speed, burst damage, i like it as a finisher, otherwise, ga is okay, pd is okay, statikk shiv is okay. You typically want to finish the build with a balancer, protection, or just speed.

Situational Items

• Some substitution items, typically I prefer not to use any of these. However, edge of night is decent in good hands, the spellshield is pretty strong. Death's dance and triforce aren't too good on twitch, he doesn't put out enough physical damage, and he can't make use of triforce's rage very well. BT is good for lifesteal, if you need flat damage replace bortk with it, youmou's is up to preference, some might prefer it over duskblade. Maw is useful against heavy ap teams like edge of night is.
• GA is a typical last pick item, if you need to be revived in a fight just to win, many people playing adc should know this by now. frozen mallet adds lots of health, which is bad against bortk users, but it helps with twitch's ult range to basically slow an entire team in one go. Sterak's = bad, i don't recommend it at all. Black cleaver would be good, except twitch sucks at using rage. Merc's is just a cleanse, some use it, many don't. IE is debatable, but your don't need to rely on crits with twitch due to deadly venom+contaminate, penetration = much better.
• Substitutions for boots, extra attack speed items. Don't use wit's end, you do very little magic damage, not really useful at all. The stats are not good enough for twitch. Essence reaver may substitute for duskblade, but it is on the same standing with IE, you don't need to rely on crits.
• BAD, don't touch these, 2 of them i explained why already, manamune is too hard to max out, gunblade...just don't, you don't need ap. same with guinsoo's. You don't need ap on an adc. You do some magic damage, you don't do much of it. You do a lot of physical and true damage.

Alistar

Hard

He has strong cc and healing potential, not to mention being tanky. BORTK is good against him, but he will try to rush you down and burst you before you can react. Avoid getting near him at all costs.

VS

Annie

Medium

She is super squishy, but she can one-shot stun combo you early-mid game, and even late game. Just, kill her from range, rely on your support to stop her.

VS

Ashe

Medium

Ashe likes to spam w... the slow is very irritating, you will have to rely on ambush against her, dodge her w, harass with w and e, slowly wear her out.

VS

Bard

Easy

He is squishy, he heals some but not much, don't get stunned and he goes down easy. Don't follow through his tunnels.

VS

Blitzcrank

Hard

Burst, avoid his q and you should be okay, don't let him get near you at all, recommend banning him.

VS

Brand

Hard

Heavy harassment, he will outrange you, throw w on him a lot to force him away, just farm until he is low hp and you can burst him instead. Again, stuns = twitch dies.

VS

Caitlyn

Medium

She outranges you, she has a lot of damage. You basically need to avoid her traps, ambush her, have your support spam her. balanced match up, just avoid her harassment and use w against her to harass her.

VS

Corki

Hard

No idea here.

VS

Draven

Medium

High damage, he has low escape potential against twitch. Avoid direct contact with him, slowly harass him until your support and you can lock him down.

VS

Graves

Medium

no idea here.

VS

Janna

Medium

She is fast, she throws tornado's at you, her ult heals and pushes people away. Basically, your ult = her weakness, w too. but.... the match can be rough if you face a good janna. The scale really varies here because of janna being top tier.

VS

Jhin

Medium

Jhin is OP. Focus on hitting him when he goes to reload, ambush lets you escape his r pretty decently, avoid getting stuck and snared.

VS

Jinx

Medium

She lacks escape, just don't get hit by her traps or zap and you are fine, typically you can outdamage her and out harass her, but she can burst faster if she hits you first. This match up is skill based.

VS

Kalista

Easy

Kalista is not very good right now, her pose doesn't really stop you from hitting her and using contaminate unless she jumps back and runs.

VS

Karma

Hard

She likes to spam you from long range, dodge her abilities and you are okay. She is squishy, but does a lot of damage.

VS

Kha'Zix

Hard

Danger, danger, ban at all costs, this guy will kill you before you know it. This jungler will screw you over because of how fast he ganks. Ambush and RUN AWAY, hit him from a distance, rely on your team's CC to stop him in his tracks. you can't do much to him unless he is at a distance from you.

VS

Lee Sin

Hard

Another OP jungler, he will rush you down and throw you into the enemy team, avoid him, let your support peel him off.

VS

Leona

Medium

She likes to rush you down, avoid her stuns and ambush to walk away.

VS

Lucian

Medium

His ult is your main worry, but he does hit and run a lot. avoid direct contact, hit from a distance.

VS

Miss Fortune

Hard

She bursts and outruns you, her damn w needs nerfed. basically you are 100% reliant on ambush to avoid and hit her, w and e combo for harass. Don't get caught in the middle of her ult.

VS

Nautilus

Hard

Strong cc, high hp, bortk eats him, but colossus mastery is op on him right now

VS

Sivir

Easy

Spellshield doesn't stop your poison stacks, contaminate when she has her shield on cd and she crumbles.

VS

Sona

Medium

Her heal and harass is just agitating, poison w spam for good measure.

VS

Varus

Easy

He lacks escape, run him down, poison spam, dodge his q and r.

VS

Vayne

Easy

One of your skill based match ups. Don't let her condemn you to a wall, don't let her get a third stack on w on you. You can poison her and outrange her to death if you play right.

VS

Zyra

Medium

She hits really hard, avoid getting hit by her plants.
