How to beat Twitch as Ashe: the early game

You out-range and out-poke Twitch at levels 1-3: your W and Frost slow chip him whenever he walks up to CS, and he has no answer beyond hiding in a bush for Ambush. Ambush is a 16-second cooldown at rank 1 and a bush he has not entered is not a threat, so buy the vision that removes the guessing. When he is visible he is the least mobile carry in the lane. Push the wave to force him to farm in the open, and check the tri-brush before your support goes to ward.
