It's the fact that early game he isn't weak anymore with the right support and against the right enemies. Supports used to rush pinks in lane to gain the best vision and thus Twitch had no strengths in that regard because you didn't lose sight of him. Now you can't really have a pink in lane without it getting removed and you can only have one and Red Trinket has to be upgraded to see champs so you have to keep track of knowing when Twitch is not around.

Braum and Twitch are pretty brutal in paticular. An upfront advance with the shield up and the slow ready to go pretty much kills any marksman that isn't smart enough to back off (many of them aren't). Even without Braum the tatic is usually stealth for a moment to escape the enemies vision. The support rushes to lay down CC. the CC is laid and Twitch shoots the opponent as they run. They can't get away fast enough and Twitch E's killing them instantly.

Only a strong harass lane with a zoning support prevents Twitch from even having a chance to stealth. Oddly he is inhibited by clutch grabbers. Twitch needs at least a full second ahead of time to stealth out of sight and get into position to blast someone. He can't stealth in sight of course and a quick grab that will either hit or miss gives no prep time for him. Other than Leona post six Twitch doesn't really do that well with supports of uncertain CC applications.
