Tristana will out poke you in lane, out sustain if her support is even able to read. Her explosive charge makes your health drop. Later on in the game her AA range is higher than yours and sets you at a disadvantage. Just wait until you have ult to engage you will be to far for her to engage unless she uses rocket jump.

Introduction

Hello! I am My Penta Dreams, or my in game username, AriGreyPlays. I play on the NA server and have been playing league for about a year. I really struggle with finding my main position because I love them all so much. I'd say my preferred role would either be Mid or AD Carry. This guide is to explain my AD carry side of things.

is a marksmen with a small bit of assassin sprinkled in. He has a weak laning phase,but is helped by his amazing teamfight potential. His rat-ta-tat-tat make him a dangerous foe in a fight. If he sits in the back lines with a high critical strike chance he will tear through an enemy team and his can help him re-position to do more damage. This build focuses around the fact that his ult can crit and stack up massive damage with his . has the potential to hard carry though you usually won't be able to. He can still put up enough fight for his team to catch up and get back into the game.

Itemization

Now in most AD Carries like and You would probably not like to rush something else like or . Well this build treats him differently and recognizes a whole different aspect to twitch. It keeps the marksmen side of him strong, but the assassin inside not to far behind. With this build you can and sneak up to an enemy squishy and kill them before they know you are there. We start off with to give him the starting damage and critical strike chance to play around with. Next I pick up a to grant the very helpful attack speed and more critical strike chance. Just with the two items you already have a 50% crit chance and by this time you should already have hit level 6. are pretty much the only boots you should every buy on the attack speed is critical to his build. Next we will talk about an item that just puts the bread and butter onto the items and we are only at the 4th one. is a fantastic item in it provides critical chance, CDR, and easy mana regeneration. When you have you should have 40% CDR which sets your ult on a 54 second cool down. Right now will all these items you have a 70% Critical strike chance, 40% CDR, Great Damage, Great Attack speed, and mana regeneration to spam your and . is the next item in the build as it helps your late game waveclear, applies poison stacks, and gives you the 100% critical strike chance. This is where twitch becomes a GOD in team fights, if he is in the backlines and let us just say that uses her and freezes several or even all of the enemy team, you may activate rat-ta-tat-tat and tear down the enemies with crit after crit. If you see an enemy champion about to die, you have the stacks to use your on and secure kills. Much like 's . Next we have a choice, between more lifesteal and armor penetration. This is usually determined by the elo you are playing in. In lower elo you could sneak away a BotRK while in higher elo a into a or . Although if you are snowballing a BotRK might work in a higher elo.

Spells

rat-ta-tat-tat

Twitch's basic attacks infect the target, dealing true damage each second. Otherwise known as 's not so deadly venom. It really is not going to make a difference on it's own. The stacks, however, are nice.

After 1.5 seconds of not taking damage, Twitch is stealthed and gains 20% Movement Speed for up to 4/5/6/7/8 seconds. Upon leaving stealth, he gains 30/40/50/60/70% Attack Speed for 5 seconds.When an enemy champion affected by Deadly Venom dies, Ambush's cooldown is reset. This is just a great ability, long invisibility and has resets for re positioning.

Twitch hurls a cask of venom that explodes in an area adding 2 stacks of Deadly Venom and slowing targets by 25/30/35/40/45% for 3 seconds. The slow on this ability is nice for catching people by surprise when your break from your and it will apply stacks of .

Deals 20/35/50/65/80 physical damage plus 15/20/25/30/35 (+20% Ability Power) (+0) per stack of Deadly Venom to all nearby enemies affected by Deadly Venom. This is your main finisher ability when enemies try to escape or you need an extra bit of damage to finish them off.

For 5 seconds Twitch gains 300 Attack Range and 20/30/40 Bonus Attack Damage.For the duration, his basic attacks become piercing bolts that deal 20% less damage to subsequent targets, down to a minimum of 40% damage. This is 's bread and butter. The ability than can lead to a shift in game momentum. If used correctly it can dominate a teamfight and lead to several multikills.

Skill Sequence

rat-ta-tat-tat

The skill sequence in which I display seems a bit off when actually it helps with cs and early trades. On several occasions I've had kills just because of the way I chose to max my skills. First of all you want to start and max your E this is useful for last hitting if you are still working on that, but the utility really comes in when you start trading with your opponent. If you have a support that can lock down your opposing laner, the damage you can deal without items is pretty large. Next you want to max your , because this is when roaming phase is coming around during the later skills in your . When your lane is pushed you may be free to walk to mid lane and go invisible, to try and pick up some more free kills. You will max your W last as it is just a slow and the stacks of your passive it applies does not increase. As always take a point in your Rat-ta-tat-tat when available.

Spells

is the most used summoner spell on AD Carry aside from flash and nothing is changed here. The heal and speed boost of it provides the best utility. Flash is a must, has no peel for himself except his and that can be delayed with damage and the small slow from . If you and your support feel like you could try and snowball you may have your support take ignite, only if they feel comfortable with it.

Utilizing Stealth

Using 's is a fantastic way to get yourself fed and even preform some late game assassinations. It is best to start looking for kills after the laning phase starts to wash out. An even better time is to be the first to roam out and really catch another laner off-guard. When you roam I often go to mid as it is the closest lane to you and easiest to pick up a kill due to the opposing laner being not that tanky. You will need to before you get into the side river bushes to try and avoid enemy vision. Remember if they have a pink ward, you will be spotted. If you successfully sneak into lane let your mid laner know, if they are there, to be ready as you should come out of the and immediately throw your at their feet. This will let you get some autos out to stack your passive and have a great kill secure with your finisher . If the enemy team is grouped around mid lane and your team is with out you, slowly walk to the lane avoiding vision as best as possible. When you are within a distance to reach the lane with do so. A great angle to take is more of a diagonal back-sitting angle. If you are coming from base a front angle will work, but this is where position for your rat-ta-tat-tat is critical. You want to stay behind your tanks so they can block and tank some of the poke flying through and you will also want to have your ambush up. As soon as some engage is thrown and find the best straight enemy line. You are moving left and right in the lane. Look for where the enemies are lining up and activate rat-ta-tat-tat. This is a very small window to be efficient with your ult so you need to be quick. If done correctly you will shred through even the tanks on the team. If you have full stacks of on some of the enemy mages, don't be scared to use your it could take them out of the fight quicker than you expect.

Pros / Cons

is best used with supports that can lock down a single target in bottom lane. Supports like ,,,, would help you dominate the lane as when they use some CC you can use your and start teeing of on the enemy carry. It is hard for them to survive taking the CC from your support, the slow of your and the stacks of your . If they try to get away you still have your to finish them off.
