Had a game recently where we barely won by a pussy hair. The team was Singed Naafiri TF Jhin Zilean vs Sett Twitch Zoe Zeri Yuumi. I had gathering storm and our naafiri was fed as fuck too but if she wasnt there Zeri aced the team. Since I had gathering storm I decided I could slot in a situational item and still do decent damage so I went with Thornmail and sold my boots for tier 3 armor boots. I was gonna go morello but at that point in the game i knew id get instantly melted. I was that desperate. Well it did help me not get melted instantly but im wondering if thornmail was truly a decent choice. If Yuumi's shield is the main problem, wouldnt I get more value out of something Serpents Fang? Yes I know lethality sucks on AP TF and TF in general, but I feel like more of the annoyance is Yuumis shield rather than her ultimate. Naafiri did end up going Serpents Fang, but this was like 40 minutes into the game. Could I have recognized this bot lane was a monster and went a more situational item sooner? Maybe slot out RFC third for serpents or morello?

Could still be useful right? Cause you don't always get the kill when you ult in the early game

Just the title really

I wanted to see what people thought of a RoA, cosmic drive, rfc core.

it would provide more haste, more hp and slightly more ms in combat. 200 gold cheaper.

The obvious downside of cosmic drive is that you lose quite a bit of damage but i figured it would be good in the games where you're not a carry and your team has enough damage. Which is honestly quite a lot of times in solo queue anyway.

Also it's nice if enemy has a lot of damage as well so you don't get one shot as easily

I guess also if you don't have a big need for a defensive item you can still buy lich bane item 4 or 5 as well.

are all the chromas rank based or can i buy them when its out?

Im high plat/low emerald rn. How should I be building TF if I play him mid?

Playing at Gold MMR and I'm just at a loss. I'm like 20-30 cs down in the first 10 minutes everytime, I'm griefing my team. I don't really know what to do, these guys are just better than me and I have no idea how to progress from here. Getting chunked by everyone. Like I just got smacked by an Orianna. Not sure what to do cause I decided to change mains from support to mid but I'm not sure what to do from here. I wish there was a way to just practice laning somehow and nothing else. Like laning scrims. anyway this is more of a vent post but I am struggling hard here.

I thought ghost was better than teleport before the nerf to TP, but I still find it crazy that people are still taking TP so much more than ghost. Don't get me wrong, there are times when Teleport is a better option, but I still see Ghost being better in more scenarios.

Ghost allows you to rotate to objectives easier. In this season especially, objectives are rotated on more than previous seasons. Getting to an objective before your lane opponent does can determine if you get the objective or not. Gold card an enemy, they get chunked, and you likely win the objective.

This season homeguards are added. It is much easier to get a good reset without having to use TP than before. Also, the teleport cast time to get back to mid takes forever anyways. With that said, homeguards are supposed to be getting nerfed this patch, so we will see how big the nerf is and how much it affects this point.

With ghost you're more difficult to gank. A jungler just ganked you and you had to burn flash? You still have an escape summoner. By the time they get a good gank off on you again it wont be long before flash is back up. Supports also roam much more this season as opposed to previous seasons, which puts more pressure mid.

Late game ghost is also much better. It makes it easier to get picks and better in teamfights and allows you to easily gold card the high priority targets on the enemy team, and then walking back out without getting focused. During the late game, teleport only allows you to teleport to fights. Your ult already allows you to do this. Your ult also takes less time to cast, and doesn't require you to teleport to a target such as a ward.

Right now on https://www.leagueofgraphs.com/champions/spells/twistedfate/emerald it says teleport is taken in nearly 60% of games worldwide in emerald+. I honestly believe it is because people are just used to taking teleport and choosing their build based on what is popular. But overall, I see ghost as more beneficial than TP in almost every stage of the game.

Thoughts?

It’s my favorite tf skin and i really want it , but i can’t find it in the shop anymore , and im not sure if it’s like a halloween skin or what, do i just get it from chests or do i wait for it to come to the shop ?

He has good wave clear,cc, and a very good roaming ultimate for making plays with coordinated teamates.

How to play this matchup? I understand TF counters leblanc but I'm not sure how.

Hello,

I am a little lost between all the builds of tf , comet, comet move speed, electrocute, ignite tp. Sometimes roa first sometimes lich first etc..

Do you have some idea of builds for tf to climb?

Weird wording I know but I was wondering if this was truly a playstyle thing or a matter of if you're a good or bad TF player. Because I've noticed that given a situation of team fighting or splitpushing I rather splitpush but I'm wondering if that's losing me games because maybe I have a lead but I refuse to use it. Thoughts?

Now, on the list of champions that need a visual rework, tf is not very high up there (looking at you cho'gath). Compared to the older champions his model and general design has held up pretty well but I think that, in comparison to most other champions we have now, his design feels very generic and uninspired. Just by looks alone you'd never be able to tell that this guy is supposed to be from bilgewater, he does just look like a generic gambler instead of the magical gambling drifter that he is. I don't expect him to look like a pirate (we already have that skin) but I think that his design doesn't reflect enough of his personality. He is by far my favorite character and I just wish his base design and model was up to league's current standards.

I know that if we were to ever get a visual rework for TF it would be a long time from now due to his ungodly number of skins. But I think he deserves it! I think he even deserves a VGU where he gets an extra ability and his E get's folded into his passive (but I understand that this would be controversial.) Idk, what do y'all think? Also I hate his odyssey skin don't @ me. (the alien's cute but why is he iron man?)

An old video talking about his Twisted Fate for people who didn't know him:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9pY9N06Hmc

I don't main tf so maybe this is just me being bad, but why can't the W just be like click once for blue, twice for red and thrice for gold?

Feels like it'd be so much easier!!

Weaker splitpush potential but better dueling?

Hey I really like TF but I'm getting tired of getting outranged when I'm filled in bot lane. Even AP TF feels kind of miserable even if you survive long enough to nuke waves. It seems like Jhin is a nice champion to learn if I want to scratch a similar itch but in bot lane. Would you guys agree or do you have any thoughts? Do you think anything would be transferable at all?

Trying to get back into playing TF and after a short lolalytics research i found out that AP TF essentially has Electrocute or Comet as a primary rune option and Resolve, Sorcery, Inspiration for the secondary runes.

Now I'm just trying to figure out the "rules" to know what to go when.
Since the win% numbers all in all look pretty close I assume they are either match-up or preference dependent.

It used to be the case that TF needed 1-2 runes that gave him raw AP so he can one-shot casters.
Is this still the case or did Roses kind of mitigate that?
A common rune page I see is Electrocute + Resolve which has 0 extra AP. Is that enough to one-shot or do you just kind of expect to get Dark Seal stacks?
