Read from Ezreal's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Twitch.
This is Ezreal's own plan; across 16,199 pooled games the lane is leaning Twitch.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ezreal | Level 1 Twitch's tiny range lets your Q poke him for free. |
| Level 2 | Ezreal | Level 2 W-Q punishes every step he takes to last-hit. |
| Level 3 | Ezreal | Level 3 you keep out-ranging his walk-up farm and deny his tempo. |
| Levels 4-5 | Ezreal | Levels 4-5 he still can't duel you straight if you ward the Q flank. |
| Level 6 | Ezreal | Level 6 your Trueshot burst and range beat him in the lane 2v2. |
| First item | Twitch | At his first item stacked venom and attack speed let him melt you. |
| Two+ items | Ezreal | With two items your max-range kite punishes him whenever Ambush is down. |
Levels 1-2 you dominate: Twitch has almost no range and must walk up to farm, so your Q out-pokes him and W-Q punishes every CS attempt. Keep him low and deny his early tempo. Buy the vision that stops the guessing rather than trying to out-position a stealth. While he is visible he cannot answer your range, so push the lane and force him to farm in the open. Keep your blink for the flank angle you cannot see rather than spending it on a last-hit you did not need.
