If you remember, at the end of season 6 when Riot nerfs 5 gold champions at level 8, reroll squads have continuously emerged and dominated the meta. Among them, Twitch is also a champion that many gamers “choose to send gold” and push it to 3 stars when this unit has a large amount of damage, good interaction with items and the ability to reduce healing. Even after season 6.5, Twitch became even more powerful and had a very high rate of reaching the top 4. So what is the cause for this?
The current Twitch reroll lineup has a top 4 rate of 54.6%
The first reason that led to the hegemony of Twitch reroll in season 6.5 was that Ekko was added the Inventor type. If you’ve ever played the Twitch reroll team in Teamfight Tactics season 6, you will know that to successfully build with all races – from 2 Assassins, 3 Inventors, 3 Chemical Skills, you must reach at least level level 7. However, with Ekko becoming an Inventor, you can own all of the above milestones right from level 5.
Ekko’s change makes it a lot easier to build a roster around Twitch
This is extremely important when Twitch is a 1 gold champion and needs to be rerolled early, specifically right from level 5. Whereas in season 6, you have to be really lucky to own a 3-star Twitch early. or will fall into a situation where there are not enough levels to activate the race – the system you want. With just one simple change in season 6.5, the roster around Twitch has become much stronger and easier to build.
In addition, with the appearance of Tryndamere, you can even switch to building a team of 5 Chemistry – 3 Inventors – 2 Assassins at the end of the game. In addition, this is a very strong unit in the ability to clean up the enemy team’s back line, so it will help Twitch a lot in defeating the opponent in the middle of the game. Other 1-gold pieces like Nocturne, Jarvan IV also give gamers many options to build a squad in case the Inventor is not found soon.
If you can buy Tryndamere, you can play up to 5 Chemistry because this unit is extremely powerful
Meta also plays a very important role in helping Twitch reroll to become the strong team it is today. If you notice, a lot of strong team-comps in the 6.5 season meta are playing around 4 money mains. To raise this unit type to 2 stars, you must either reroll all gold at level 7 or push it to level 8 and roll slowly. Either way, it requires players to accumulate a lot of gold in the middle of the game and not roll too much.
The formations that use 4 gold champions as the main force need to store large resources and are not too strong in the early and mid game
Obviously, such playstyles will be quite weak in the mid game (except for the Tech team) so they become the favorite prey of reroll formations like Twitch. Even if the opponent has strong 5 gold mains in the backline like Zeri, Kai’Sa or Jayce (ranged form), Twitch’s “one shot” ability will also help you solve this painful problem.
Twitch is an extremely good way to defeat 5 gold 1 star units
In short, with Ekko getting a race-type change, new units that support too well, and a supportive meta, the Twitch reroll lineup is becoming extremely powerful in the current meta. If you need to find a familiar gameplay from season 6 but still not “out meta”, then Twitch reroll is the correct choice.
