Negative Twisted Fate game experiences
After playing countless games as Twisted Fate, i have arrived with the following conclusion - Twisted Fate definitely is by far the weakest early game mid laner. Think about it for a second, the entire game is mainly built around how the first 15-20 minutes evolve. I'd say roughly 20% of the games even end around 20-25 minutes, that means the game ends before you would even become relevant for your team.
The further the game goes, the stronger Twisted Fate gets compared to others. Having a full build means it is literally possible to one shot someone wandering alone when having 4-5 strong AP items (for example Lich Bane, Ludens, Deathcap and voidstaff). However, it is very challenging to get to the so called "late game". It is really not an option to fight in equal numbers because the damage of twisted fate in early game is laughable, in addition many champions literally hard counter him! (Fizz, Zed, yasuo, Cassio, talon etc...) Forcing you to farm with wild cards from a distance and ultimately losing your lane. By picking twisted fate you honestly offer a better early game for your opposing team. They will have more map pressure and more damage until you get your core items. Some of you might say that Twisted Fate offers a lot of map pressure... Especially since he has a ultimate that can teleport you around. This however is not that reliable after riot further nerfed the ability by giving a warning sound to the opposing team. As soon as you teleport in you can get chain locked down and focused, leaving your own team raging against you. Of course occasionally you pull of the Destiny ganks, but they are normally not enough to salvage the game.
I am so tired of listening to other players complaining. Fucking useless twisted fate afk farming bla bla bla... But what else is there to do? Attempt for a hero move always when your jungler or other lanes are hyper actively aggressive? No. you continue afk farming and pray other lanes do not push that hard during first 15-20 minutes. If this fails you get reported 4x, tough luck, try again. There are very many problems and irritating moments, because your team does not even know what your passive does.
how to fix this dilemma and offer a better laning phase for twisted fate's team? Buffing twisted fates passive ability seems the best way to prevent major balance issues in my opinion. instead of the current 1-6 bonus gold for each minion kill, it could easily be around 2,4,6,8,10 gold, in addition providing the passive for all team members with half of the effect. This means that if twisted fate gets 6 bonus gold from one minion kill, each of the team mates would be getting 3 bonus gold, essentially giving the enemy team more pressure in mid lane by constantly forcing them to deal with twisted fates passive, instead of roaming around and killing your team who is in a horrific disadvantage. By the way, ganking twisted fate = super easy.
