Twitch, the Plague Rat, is a champion in the popular online game League of Legends. Known for his sneaky and deadly playstyle, Twitch has become a favorite among players who enjoy ambushing their enemies and causing chaos on the battlefield. One of Twitch's most iconic skins is the 'SSW Twitch' skin, which was released on May 14, 2014, as part of the League of Legends World Championship celebration.
The 'SSW Twitch' skin is a tribute to the professional League of Legends team Samsung White, who emerged victorious in the 2014 World Championship. The skin features Twitch dressed in the team's colors, sporting a white and blue outfit with the team's logo prominently displayed on his back. This skin not only allows players to show their support for the winning team but also adds a unique flair to Twitch's appearance in the game.
With the 'SSW Twitch' skin, Twitch's abilities receive a visual overhaul to match the theme of the skin. His basic attacks now feature a blue particle effect, giving them a distinct look and feel. Additionally, his abilities, such as his Venom Cask and Spray and Pray, also receive visual updates, making them more visually appealing and satisfying to use.
As a champion, Twitch has a rich backstory within the League of Legends universe. He is a mutated rat from Zaun, a city known for its dark and dangerous underbelly. Twitch thrives in the shadows, using his deadly venom and sharp instincts to take down his enemies. His lore describes him as a cunning and sadistic creature, always seeking new victims to spread his plague.
In the game, Twitch is classified as a marksman, specializing in dealing high amounts of damage from a distance. His passive ability, Deadly Venom, allows his basic attacks to apply stacks of poison to his enemies, dealing additional damage over time. This ability synergizes well with his other abilities, such as his Ambush, which allows him to become invisible and gain bonus attack speed, and his Expunge, which detonates his poison stacks, dealing damage to all enemies affected.
However, Twitch also has his weaknesses. He is incredibly squishy and lacks mobility, making him vulnerable to assassins and burst damage champions. Additionally, his abilities require careful positioning and timing to maximize their effectiveness, as Twitch relies heavily on his stealth and surprise attacks to catch his enemies off guard.
In the competitive scene, Twitch has seen his fair share of play. His ability to ambush and assassinate key targets makes him a valuable pick for teams looking to secure early advantages and snowball their leads. His ultimate, Spray and Pray, allows him to deal damage to multiple enemies at once, making him a threat in team fights and sieges.

Lore:
A Zaunite plague rat by birth, but a connoisseur of filth by passion, Twitch is not afraid to get his paws dirty. Aiming a chem-powered crossbow at the gilded heart of Piltover, he has vowed to show those in the city above just how filthy they really are. Always a sneaky sneak, when he's not rooting around in the Sump, he's digging deep into other people's garbage for discarded treasures… and perhaps a moldy sandwich.
Ally tips:
Twitch's Attack Speed is among the highest in the game; try purchasing items with on-hit effects such as Black Cleaver or Wit's End. Contaminate has a large range; apply as many stacks of Deadly Venom as possible before using it. You can catch up to an enemy out of attack range with Venom Cask.
Enemy tips:
Twitch is fragile. Work with teammates to focus on him when you're able to catch him out of Camouflage.Spell Shields won't block the damage from Deadly Venom, but they will block the effects Twitch can trigger with it.If you suspect Twitch has left the lane, let your teammates know that Twitch is ''MIA.''
