Items for Twitch
Items obviously play a big role in League of Legends. Buying the right item can make the difference between winning and losing as Twitch. The order of items is also very important. Especially in early game, it is imperative to make the right decision on what to buy. You need to know the right starter item and starter trinket. But you also need to know what your final items will be. Your opponent like 
Swain or 
Ziggs can also influence your buying decisions.
Since Twitch is a powerful Marksman you should start with 
Doran's Blade and 
Health Potion. Your starter trinket should be 
Stealth Ward. You will find those in the shop under: Tools > Vision & Trinkets. Your optimal final boots are 
Berserker's Greaves. So make sure to buy accordingly. A good buy order for your items is:
The Collector
Runaan's Hurricane
Infinity Edge
Twitch abilities and summoner spells
Pro Gamers in LoL also gain advantage by their choice of spells and the order they use their abilities on Twitch. You also shouldn’t leave this to chance.
During champion select you have the possibility to choose two spells for Twitch. The choice of summoner spells can’t be underestimated. They can play a big role in team-fights. Countless team-fights have been decided by a well-used flash. Statistics have proven that the best choice is 
Flash and 
Barrier.
You can also gain an advantage in early game by using Twitch abilities in a certain order. Each phase of the game differs. Some abilities might be good in late game, but less in early game. Start the game with 
Contaminate. Then you should continue with 
Ambush, followed by 
Venom Cask. An order for abilities of Twitch up to level 10:

For an effective Twitch build, you also need to select the appropriate runes. Ideally, you make an extra rune page for Twitch. You have to choose a primary and a secondary path from five rune paths for the Plague Rat: Precision, Domination, Sorcery, Resolve and Inspiration.

For your primary path – Precision – choose these runes on Twitch:
- Press the Attack
Legend: Alacrity
Cut Down
Presence of Mind
For your secondary path – Domination – choose these runes on Twitch:
Sudden Impact
Treasure Hunter
