Hoho, as you can see I followed your steps, Walter. I'm the fellow anon from a few posts below. TBH, I had so much money that I kept changing builds just for the fun, they were doing horrible (except for their ULTRA FED XIN, thanks to a noob teemo, so even if I KNOW THAT I'M A SQUISHY CARRY, I HAD to play Hero mode a couple of times and that's why I got so many deaths... I know that Malady is truly one of the BEST on-hit items there is for Twitch, and syngergizes excellent with Expunge, but I found out that Expunge really lags behind late game and you depend mostly on autoattacks. Even with your suggested masteries with the 10% magic pen, and six charges of poison, it still doesn't deal decent damage. I even considered getting him a Guinsoo's but something tells me it's not for him. Some people play him as a poker, because of the 6 second duration of the poison, and this refreshes with each stack. Other prefer to autoattack quickly because of his ambush, and that way stack malady/TBC + poison stacks really fast, then hit expunge for a debilitating blow (assist) or just a killing blow (yes, I get accused of KSing a lot. idgaf)

When against a noob team, I usually end up like this (LOOK AT WW, SION AND NASUS, PLEASE): http://s11.postimage.org/diouzmr3l/Fresh.png

But well, I'm MOSTLY maining him so I'm learning how to:

.NOT BE stealth-dependant (use it for the steroid, short ambushes, ganks when people are unaware or uncertain of my position) .Learn when to stack, when to back (not overextending, for short) .Most important: WHEN TO LAND EXPUNGE!! (I seriously hate how it has a cast time: I swear I died a fair amount of times that a simple expunge could've killed my opponent, but in the split second that lasts the animation cast bar, I get killed. THAT happened A LOT with Xin on the first match I posted. .Who are the primary targets? Twitch can HELP taking out tanks (Debilitating, mantaining his range with Spray & Pray, stacking his poison and on-hit effects beneficial for all, like malady/tbc) but he can't KILL THEM, even with madred's. That's what I learnt from the last game. Target the squishy mages and melee/ranged carries first, and let your team pick the others (IF YOUR TEAM IS INTELLIGENT ENOUGH TO KNOW THAT TOO, damn random solo queues...I almost have no friends ;_;)

But as you can see, your advice really DID help me get better as a Twitch player. It's really fun playing him because it requires A LOT of skill! I now know that if I can be a good Twitch player, I can be good at any other champ. Thanks a lot, Walter! Painkiller~
