How Twitch plays
Editorial Reading of the kit above, not a sourced claim - the numbers inside it were checked against the client before publishing.
Twitch wins fights that never should have started, because half the time nobody realizes he's in them until it's too late. Ambush grants invisibility after a short delay out of combat, and breaking stealth grants a burst of attack speed, which means he can walk right up to an unsuspecting target and open with a fully buffed combo. Deadly Venom stacks poison damage on every hit, and Venom Cask applies multiple stacks at once along with a slow, so a target he's focused rarely has much time before Expunge detonates all those stacks for a heavy burst. Spray and Pray extends his range and lets his attacks pierce through multiple targets, turning a normal fight into a full team wipe if the enemy is lined up wrong. He's extremely fragile if caught before he's able to set up, so his whole game plan depends on staying hidden until the poison stacks are already ticking.

Ambush positioning beats compositions that group without vision; armor stacking and point-and-click CC end him instantly.
"In lane" means both champions are played in the same role in Classic; "across the map" represents cross-lane dynamics (e.g. jungler ganks, roaming supports). All matchups evaluated strictly within the 63 Classic launch champions.
