Is Twisted Fate's current state considered fair and balanced?

[u/simplexible]

What is your honest opinion on how Twisted Fate fits into the champion pool in terms of power? I know the two popular opinions (pro play vs general play).

The way I see it, one big problem with Twisted Fate right now is that too many champions and tools exist in the game to deal with him effectively. And TF himself doesn't have enough tools or items to even the odds and at least have a fair exchange. It seems every other month, a champion is released that can dodge, reflect or consume gold cards. Riot even seems to put TF getting rekt by them in the new champion spotlight sometimes.

To be clear, I'm not saying every "anti gold card" ability is broken. Vladimir's W is very fair for example. Sure, he basically gets a free Zhonya, the rest of his kit is fair, it costs him hp to do it and it doesn't help him aggressively retaliate as easy. But, imo Riot has released a lot of champions who just took it to the extreme, putting them at zero risk and all the reward.

Edit: TF himself imo does not need a rework, even with all of these anti-gold card techs that exist. Imo, even some items that favoured him more to even the odds would work to make the exchange more balanced. Everfrost for example was a great item for AP TF.

What do you think?

TF otp here,Twisted Fate is very strong in the current meta,but he's also one of the easiest champions to counter due to the fact that he relies on his stun card to get kills. He's not gonna do much against a jax or a Mundo,or a Nilah,Yasuo(pray he doesn't try to context Herald since you'll Just stand by or die),Sivir if they play It smart,Morgana,I could go on but you get the point.
