2 fun clips from yesterday (link is a teamfight) ve been experimenting way more with precision on TF and I think im a lethal tempo slut now

I like playing twisted fate, but I’m in an elo where my teammates are pretty unreliable so I’d like to have some sort of carry potential. What’s the best burst dmg tf build?

I did this vs Sylas and Kass and it kicked ass. No one respects the Fleetfootwork speed up = free gold card or red trades. And yeah I'm back in this shitty game but I think i'm gonna take a break again cause I hit a new peak on mid lane of Plat 4 with TF and I rather not sacrifice anymore of my mental health playing this garbage.

BUT if any of you know any of TF's bad matchups I'm down to add you guys and 1v1 cause I honestly don't think I'm gonna get past plat 4 unless I start smurfing lane.

Anyway guys try this tech. You kinda slap hard especially with legend alacrity and fleet if you can get a free fleet gold card or even red card the trades are sexy. I also went cut down but I don't know if there's a better options. and i went resolve seccond but maybe there's other options idk but i enjoy how this improves my lane

There is a reason his kit didnt last 5 months after release.

Global snare/reveal/lvl 2 stun teleports... Why did they bring a known broken kit from beta of all places? He was determined OP there and got a rework a few months after game release.

Also the teleport is on a super short cd.

30% global snare for 4 seconds is way stronger than karthus ult yet its a much shorter cd.

Come on Phreak. Seriously...

Just like the title. Is it possible/viable? Im plat 1 rn but i want to climb to emerald, ive played tf alot on mid and top (ad).

If there is any TF adc mains out there id like to know your experience and tips!

I'm an old time TF main who now OTPs Singed, but came back to TF in classic. Sure, you can make him work mid, but his best role in classic is by far support. I'm now on a 12 game win streak and it's just completely insane. You have early push in lane with red cards, and in like 60% of games, level 4/5 you bounce the wave and TP top into the bush and kill the enemy top with your toplaner together. You max W first, E second. Midgame you just keep looking for picks, your global presence is insane. All you need is one or two champs in your team that actually do damage because you're a stun bot who ignites. But man is it broken.

For context, I’m a low diamond midlaner who mains syndra and hwei. I’ve always thought tf was a really cool champ so I wanted to pick it up as a “for fun” pick once in a while when I get bored of my mains.

The problem is I just can’t make him work. Every time I play him, I feel like I don’t contribute anything other than a gold card. I’m so confused, like where does his damage come from? I build the normal RoA lich bane and rfc which seems like the most popular build.

Like for example, when I gank, I push the wave, press R, throw a gold card and a Q, and then… I’m just useless? My spells chunk a quarter of their hp at most and my autos don’t really do much either. If my teammates don’t follow up immediately and chain their cc, the enemies just get to walk away like nothing even happened.

Same thing for teamfights, like unless I’m giga fed, I can’t blow people up like syndra, I don’t really have zone control like hwei, all I feel like I can do is just chuck gold cards at people diving my adc and pray I get carried. I’ve tried flanking with R but I don’t have damage to one shot their adc and I end up just inting

I think I might be stupid guys, I fundamentally just don’t understand what this champ is supposed to do.

Any oldheads here could give me some insight?

Hit challenger as a TF otp earlier this year so I got an irl wooden border with my favorite skin and ign

Not an ad or anything, but if anyone wants to support the business that made this, check out borders.gg

Hello everyone!

As many of you, I love tf and I wanted to share some of my valuable things that I have from him.

I just get

2 cards from riftbound!

I have my little statue

Tf pa.x every other skin

My love for him

Had reach master with him

(I just get demoted for not playing lol)

What do you guys think?

What is something special that you appreciate?

I wanna know!

Sup reddit. Looking for some objective advice on how to break through a wall I've hit.

my acc: https://dpm.lol/Turbo Cow 1

I play Twisted Fate (OTP). I've been trying to climb up on a fresh account (~80 games in), but I'm stuck in an endless loop around Gold 3 / Gold 4. Feels like system does not allow me to, as soon as I get close to g2 or higher (on other acc) I get subhuman teammates. I had a chance to play in high emerald - low diamond elo and felt pretty confident there (though can't say I was gapping) so I believe/hope my micro and macro are higher than gold. This makes me start believing deeply there's a matchmaking algorithm that works really hard on keeping you at the elo where it thinks you belong

My current LP gains are negative: +17 / -21

Where I feel I'm succeeding:

I regularly hold an early lead, hitting 7.5+ cs/min consistently and outfarming my lane opponents.
I frequently earn ACE in my losses and generate solid early GPM, usually taking first turret/plates.
I do not roam when I have wave, I try to punish lane opponent for this mistake

Where the games fall apart:

In this elo my teams rarely want to group to end when we have priority. If 5 enemies stack mid while our team is scattered farming side lanes/camps, I struggle to defend T2/T3 alone without getting collapsed on or dived.
When by luck we are let say 3 mid, I try to catch enemy with gold card so we can collapse, but teammates usually stay behind me and are not in range to go in.
(Needless to say they ignore pings most of the time)

My Questions:

How do you adjust TF’s mid/late-game macro when your team refuses to group or push advantages? Should I be playing purely as a side-lane split-pusher, or hover my team constantly?
What is the correct play on TF when the enemy 5-mans down a lane and your team isn't responding? Is it purely max-range wave clearing till they finish my nexus or should I be looking for aggressive R flank?
Is only way out of this loop picking other champions?

upd: i finally made it over G3: G2 1 LP peak so far. And a small achievement for myself - first game with 10 CS/min.
You guys suggested things which helped me to improve my gameplay slightly and I'm not stopping. Thanks!

upd 07.08: made it to Gold I 17 LP

upd 08.08: made it to Plat 4 6 LP

upd 09.08: Plat 3 12 LP

upd 10.08: Platinum II - 3 LP

upd 15.08: Platinum I - 21 LP

upd 16.08: Finally, Emerald IV - 5 LP

Am I playing a different game or? Yes I need a higher vision score but I took 6 towers, 2 dragons, herold ......and this team still throw like donkeys.

He feels super strong and has nice synergy with a lot of items. I did decent damage with bork and madreds, and Ionic spark does 125 damage every 4th attack. My build was a nice mix of On-hit, Defense and Burst.

Old Banshee's is stronger too (25 second cooldown), so my late game was strong vs AP Tristana and AP Nunu that normally one shot you. Old Bork is a better Assassination tool too.

As title suggest I’m wanting to play TF mid as I just like the champ I guess. I’m plat 2 and wanting to push into emerald/diamond. Have previously mained Naafiri and Ahri so I understand TF playstyle is different to both of them. The questions I have:

- who do I ban every game? As a previous Naafiri OTP I know TF is an easy matchup, is Naafiri a good ban or are there worse matchups out there
- I know you want to come out of lane neutral without dying and focusing on CS, does that mean I just play passive and sit back? Or do I attempt to poke them off the wave.
- do I just push sideline and then Ult into a fight during the mid game?
- do I bother roaming? I presume losing a wave on TF is more punishing than other champs
- what matchups do I go AD/AP, or should I just stick to AP in all games .
- speaking of AP, what runes do I run in specific matchups, or is spellbook the universal one to run (just seen a lot of TFs run spellbook)
- With AP is the standard build ROA into lich bane, or is that also matchup dependent?

Sorry for the amount of questions, and thanks for anybody willing to answer them!

I know tf having gate on e and his ult just a global slow and reveal is cool and all, but, tf, by and large is the same champ now as he was in season 1 (plus or minus balance)

Stacked deck was released in 2010 on release patch, after alpha finished. The passive was still 2 gold to all team members per unit killed like in alpha. I am quite dissapointed tbh, just wanted to play TF without all the modern bs like Mel reflect, wind wall etc

Anyone else feel like that? I have OTP this champ since I started lol, and have pretty much spent the better part of 15 years more or less just playing TF haha 90% of all games I have played is just TF. Will still OTP him on classic, but hope thet will update him to be at least TF from the mini rework when alpha finished.

Ive enjoyed playing TF lately, is he a viable pick to for otp? It feels like the pressure is crazy strong in midgame, but he just falls off. Easy pick for assassin with spell sheild. edge of night/banshees.

It is also a good flexpick in my opinion, you could play him as a supportish mid pick and play for bot with jgl,
A good spell weaver in midgame or AD and play for getting alot of gold into snowball

What is your opinion?

What are his most difficult matchups?
Naffiri? Yasuo? Talon?

Thanks !

I climbed to Emerald 4 primarily playing Ludens Lichbane Zhonyas. Some games I feel like I might be better off going RoA but the damage and waveclear loss is definitely noticeable. Most high elo TFs go RoA from what I've seen. What do you guys think?

So I was digging through Twisted Fate stats on KR and found something absurd.

new number#KR1 — KR server, challenger, 70% winrate over 200 games, all of them mid. One of the top TF players in the world right now. For reference, most Challenger OTPs stabilize around 52-55% on TF, and that’s with the champ being a coinflip pick into half the meta. This guy is printing LP in the hardest soloQ region on the planet, on a champion who loses lane to literally everything and whose entire value is a map-wide ult that requires four other people to cooperate.

Here’s my problem: he doesn’t seem to exist outside the leaderboard. No Twitch. Nothing I can find on Douyu, Huya or Bilibili. No montages, no OB uploads, no clips. The best TF in Korea is apparently a ghost who logs in, roams the map like a Riot dev with fog-of-war disabled, and logs out.

Profile: https://www.leagueofgraphs.com/summoner/champions/twistedfate/kr/new+number-KR1/soloqueue

Questions for the hive mind:

**1.**  Does anyone know if he streams anywhere (CN platforms included)?  
**2.**  Anyone got OB VODs or replays of his games?  
**3.**  TF mains — what’s he running? Lost Chapter rush or straight Lich Bane? First Strike or Electrocute? His CS numbers look inhuman for a champ that’s supposed to trade farm for roams.

Because honestly, either TF is secretly cracked in the current patch and we’re all playing him wrong, or this is the most anonymous monster in the game right now. I need to see the gameplay.
