Lately I've been playing a lot of tf and my only problem is with his e. The attack speed doesn't suit his playstyle at all and he is ap so no need for that. Very frustrating when I port bot and forgot to get my e and lack a decent amount of burst. I think riot should keep the same concept but instead of every 4 attacks make it so you have to activate and your next auto deals the bonus damage. I'd like to hear your ideas on what they could change his e into and maybe riot will hear us.
Veraska1 votesI have a friend who plays jungle tf a bit and the attack speed on hit component is a big part of his non mage, off builds so I don't think they should change it
Besides, there's another skill set for tf players, managing his e passive and gold card for the most optimal gank, making it an active aa buff takes some of the skill out of playing tf
It's weird but tf is a weird mage, I wouldn't change it

isnt a terrible item on him and does make his E a good deal more useful.
GigaShït1 votesI have experimented with nashors tooth build and it's ok with the passive cdr ap an as but it delays my build a lot and each game I want to get lich luden zhonyas and rabadons for a ton of ap damage but nashors is sacrificing some ap for consistent damage which is not the best on tf.
khorney1 votesThat's because you don't understand the nashors tooth.... , nashors runaans lich bane and stack ap any really.
Erockandroll1 votesRemember when AD TF was a thing? They still mention it in his spot light.
I don't really like the activator idea, as it would make any kind of AD or AP/AS build harder to pull of. But at the same time, The activator itself would cause problems, should it proc Lich bane. (an item just about any AP TF would want.)
khorney1 votesI go hybrid damage it relies on his e. Grant it if his range was a little better it would be nice.

He doesn't really have the Range to be an ADC, but I wouldn't discount the usefulness a Sustained AD build would bring.
But the real reason why his AP build is pretty much infinity better. He actually has Wave clear with his Wild Card + Red Card. And The Burstier build has more synergy with his Global pressure. Consivibly you could go for a Burst AD with Tri force. But Lich bane pretty much beats Tri Force in damage, as long as your scaling AP.
All and all, LIch bane plus his Pick a card damage, makes him fair in split pushing and tower destruction for a mid laner.
khorney1 votesHowever I have yet to lose a 1v1 to a ad tf vs a ap
