Twitch's VU was actually a massive QoL buff to him: before he got updated, his animations, particles and E range were extremely hard to make out properly, which meant that even pro players had a hard time making full use of him. When playing him, Gangster Twitch was the default skin for him because it was easier to time autoattacks on that skin, despite the autoattack sound and actual animation being slightly mistimed. After his VU, not only did more people decide to give him a chance, but those who did realized that, put to his full potential, he was extremely strong.

As for the Trist nerf... I think she has a long way to go before all of her issues are sorted out, but the nerf to her level 1 E was warranted. Overall, these are primarily nerfs to AP Trist, which is not that much of a problem considering the playstyle is incredibly gimmicky and prone to snowballing (and, in fact, relied on the obscenely high E damage to snowball early).
