Twisted Fate: The Future is in Our Own Hands

While the future may be mysterious and unknown to most, Twisted Fate is certain that his future lies within the cards.

AD Twisted Fate who did tower dive was once one of the dominators in Summoner’s Rift, but then Riot nerfed AD Twisted Fate. Thus mid laner AP Twisted Fate appears.

Pros

a. Passive: While Twisted Fate is alive, he and his allies receive an additional 2 gold each time they kill a unit or destroy a structure. It’s one of the few buffs which affect the whole group (Zilean’s passive can increase the experience Zilean and all allied champions gain by 8%, and Janna’s passive increases her allies’ movement speed by 3%).

b. Pick A Card. It’s a powerful skill which can be used to restore mana, slow all enemies in a certain area and stun opponents. It enormously enhances the ability to stay on lane for a long time and the gameplay.

3. Gate enables him to teleport to the target location within range so that the situation may switch to 4v2 or 5v2. Thus he can win the battle.

Cons

a. Weak mobility. It’s common problem of many powerful champions.

b. He can be very powerful in late game if he gains advantage, but he will be very weak if he fails to gank in early game.

c. Weak ability on lane.

d. Squishy.

Runes

Greater Mark of Magic Penetration x9

Greater Seal of Armor x9

Greater Glyph of Magic Resist x9

Greater Quintessence of Ability Power x3

Normal AP runes are OK.

Masteries

21 offense, 0 defense and 9 utility: ensure strong output

You can also use 9 offense, 0 defense and 21 utility.

These two sets of runes tend to stay on lane for a long time and upgrade to level 6 in a short period: mana increase, life steal, experience increase, movement speed increase and Greed. I prefer the second one. Twisted Fate is a ganker. It’s more practical for him to upgrade to level 2 and gank on top or bottom lane than just staying on one lane and gain advantages.

Skill Points

Mainly level up Q and place points in W as an assistant skill. Place R when you have it.

Items

Starting Items

His Blue Card restores the mana and 3 Health Potions enable him to stay on lane for a longer time.

Core ItemsThe choice for last item can be various . And you can choose  if you play favorably.

The attack range for Twisted Fate is close, but his Q is powerful in consuming opponent HP in ranged area. Equip Rabadon's Deathcap as the first item, and then Lich Bane to ensure his output. As Twisted Fate is squishy, he can easily be the target of fire focus, and Zhonya's Hourglass can help him to survive when enemies focus fire the first time.
