Aged like a fine egg - Patch 4.6 is here and it includes the Twitch visual updat e!

He's now stinkier than ever with a smelly new model, expanded voice over, and deadly new VFX. Special Interactions Twitch's updated voice over comes with several special interactions, including w hen he steps Caitlyn's Traps and when taunting Janna, Leona, Singed, and Zac. [ Note: On the last PBE update before 4.6, some of these were not hooked up in g ame. I'd expect them to be enabled soon ] Caitlyn Traps: "Must take food!" "D'oh, it's not even stale yet." "OH! That almost caught my tail!" "Now I have to gnaw my leg off. Oh, no, I'm good." "This is entrapment!" "Oh, not again." "Phew, this tastes awful!" Janna "Stop moving my stench!" Leona "The only thing the sun's good for is what it does to milk." Singed "Wooh, Singed, you smell nice!" "I have this uncontrollable urge to follow you." "I see why everyone chases you." Zac "You remind me of home." "I thought this place could use a little gooping up."
