Twisted fate is pretty confusing to me; any tips on him? I get pretty mixed up with his w and ult.

Once you press W for a 2nd time it starts on the same card you picked the last time you used the skill. So if you used the blue card last the blue card will be the first thing to pop up the next time.

His ultimate give vision of all enemies on the map. I think you have a 5 second window to teleport to a location on the map. I think the range is something like 1100 units. Higher levels on his ultimate means a shorter cooldown. You aren't always required to use the teleportation part of his ult either. Sometimes you can simply use it to find out where they are. Think they are taking dragon? use ult. Your jungler is alone in their jungle and may be in a position where he is going to get ambushed? ult to give him vision. He can decide whether he wants to live or die now. Or if you're up against any invisible people you can cast this spell and they stop being invisible for a short while. Also useful for when an enemy moves out of sight and into a bush. Can't juke you or your teammates now.

Thank you for the first part of your comment. I didn't know that you could tell what card you would get. Now I might actually be able to be decent at him.

Glad to be of service!

Also, Twisted Fate has a unique synergy with 2 other champions. One of those champions is Shen who can piggy back his ultimate onto Twisted Fate's ultimate. This benefits both champions involved. The other champion who works uniquely with Twisted Fate is Nocturne. Nocturne's ultimate dictates that he can only attack people he can see (which is why you should ward) while Twisted Fate's ultimate give vision of all enemies. So Nocturne can now attack anyone he likes. Likewise one of the downsides to Twisted Fate is that he telegraphs where he is teleporting to. Nocturne's ultimate darkens the mini map which effectively hides where Twisted Fate teleports away to. This helps give Twisted Fate the element of surprise.

Pantheon also synergizes with both Shen and Nocturne for similar reasons but him and Twisted Fate don't have as strong of a synergy with each other, but are often teammates when Shen and Nocturne get involved.

Touchpad pretty much got it all, but if you did not notcie this (I didn't for the longest time). The skill icon on your W changes color with the current card you can choose which makes it really easy to get the card you want while looking to use your ult.
