Riot, either change Twisted Fate or get rid of him.
Why, Riot? Why do you hate Twisted Fate so much?? Why do you even bother to include him in the game with such a laughably worthless moveset if assassins are going to devour him in mid, and MF and Draven players are going to do the same if he takes bot? Why would you give him both AP and AD scaling if you're just going to demand people play him as a mage? Why do you think anyone wants to play AP TF when there are wildly better options for mages available? Because he's completely out-performed by other mage options. Ziggs has more range and AoE, Ahri has more mobility, Lux has better cc, and Veigar has better AP-scaling. Is the ult supposed to make up for it? Because it's worthless if nobody thinks TF's presence is worth anything, and TF, as he stands, cannot do anything beyond 1v1 duels. Do not try to tell me otherwise. He has no escape, he has a single-target stun, the AoE slow might as well not exist because slows are irrelevant in a meta where everyone- pardon me, everyone else- has a dash or escape of some kind, and his tri-pronged skillshot crawls at the snailest of snail's paces. This means that if TF is ever against more than 1 person and he doesn't have Gunblade already built, he's completely doomed. Jungles see him as easy targets, regardless of the lane he's taken in. In teamfights, an enemy team takes him down like wolves on stray deer, and as a result, NO one is intimidated when they hear him Destiny in- quite the contrary, they run towards him, because they see and hear free gold. Of course they do. You can't play TF and not fall behind, because all anyone needs to do to beat TF is bully him early-game, and he's a complete non-factor. And everyone in the game has that ability against him.
I just... WHY? I want so, so badly to like playing this champion, but it's like trying to love an abusive spouse. And that was before you nerfed Gunblade, then Exhaust...
I just wanted to play him AP/AD hybrid. You built him to have that ability. He's the only one of a handful of champs in the game who gets dual scaling like that.
I like Twisted Fate. I truly do. He's a fun champ. I just... why do you make him this sick, cruel joke? Because it's just not fair or funny.
