Twisted Fate-Discussion

Of every champion in League of Legends Twisted Fate is by far my favourite, I love everything about him. After playing a bunch of games with him to get used to his "Pick a Card". I began to see a lot of rewards when I was able to pull a gold card out extremely quickly causing the low elo players that I play against to get caught off guard and die when they thought that I was an easy kill. I began doing my extensive research on how to play a champion properly which happens only when I make the choice to get really good at a champion that I like. I wanted answers to why Twisted Fate has faults where he does. I found out that his main focus is to hit level 6 get his ult, and then gank and push towers.

But many problems arise when I try to do these things. At the elo that I play in (I am ranked bronze 1 and I don't want to move up in ranked because I don't want to be an average player and go into ranked when i'm not ready) my fellow team members do not have any advanced thoughts when it comes to doing anything. This makes ganking difficult regardless on what champion you play as but with Twisted Fate who is meant to gank it makes thing very difficult. No matter how many times you ping or how clear you make it in chat that you are ulting in your team will just sit there and do nothing in an attempt to allow you to have a successful gank. Also the person that you just tried to gank for will then go on and yell and swear at you to leave his lane and stop pushing the tower.

Twisted Fate is screwed by the fact that both spells are auto attack based. This makes harassing hard to do because his Q is slow moving, and the enemy laner can just walk away from Twisted Fate the minute he uses "Pick a Card". You can zone really well but this opens you up for a gank and with Twisted Fate having no get away makes zoning with the W generally a bad idea. Twisted Fates power also scales really well into the late game but with low elo player not knowing how to set up and organised team fight makes Twisted Fate even more screwed because he has to wait for his cooldowns on his only two usable spells which by the time they are back up your team has already died and you are running for your life because you backed off a bit so that you can wait for your spells to be back up and so that you are positioned properly so that you don't get targeted.

There a so many other things that I wish that I could address. Like his weak burst, and that in a general sense if you auto attack in between his combo ( W+Q ) you put yourself in Twisted Fates Short auto attack range to do what they please with you. Any Marksman with easily kill you, any mage will just burst you because they will generally have four damaging spells while Twisted Fate only has two. ( He does have his E but trying to use it is whats putting you in this problem) and they will out damage you.

Out of all of these problems I still love Twisted Fate, and I don't mind everything because It makes him powerful in a very unique way and it shows me that I have to be as skilled as I can be to play things right and if my team sucks then so be it I will eventually get into a higher elo with player that will know how to play at a higher level. But I find that Twisted fates E does need a change. It limits everything to a simple W+Q combo that still puts you in range for and easy out bursting potential shit show.

I'm not asking for a silly damage spell or more cards to throw that have extra magic damage on it. I believe that Twisted fates E should be something that has skills behind it because. I don't want to make Twisted Fate over powered and that is not what i'm asking. I would like a spell that makes it so that Twisted Fate is not just a two trick pony.

I mean attack speed is great and all but by being in range to even cast a "Pick a Card" is dangerous enough to put yourself in let alone stay in that range to try and get 4 auto attacks of to deal a couple hundred worth of damage over 4 seconds. Zhonya's Hourglass doesn't really work because even though you will have your spells off of cool down you still have to pick a gold card and if the enemy team is waiting for you they will just burst you down.

please add what you think, I care about Twisted Fate and I want him to be as good as he can. Lately I don't play him because there is just the same problems over and over again. I will add ideas on what i think his E could be.
