Is it just me or have there been a lot more AP TF players recently? AD used to be the way to go, or at least AS (Sword of the Divine, Bloodrazor). Many TF players built I-Edge and other staple DPS items. But recently I've been seeing a whole lot more of AP Twisted Fate and he seems really effective if built that way. I don't know if there's a reason behind it - maybe people just figured out how good he is.

Opinions?

I'm thinking Hybrid. AP/AS though. Sword of the Divine still being core.


Thank you to jhoijhoi for the sig, and all the dividers in the guide.

I thought AP TF was the most effective way to play him? I know the US LoL forums have pretty much fallen in love with AP TF (though that doesn't seem to be the case for US players in general, still see lots of AD TF)

Lets see the advantages of AP TF were something like:
-Very easy to get max CDR so more Destiny
-Very strong poke from wild cards
-"Pick a card" and "Stacked deck" makes his damage potential just as high if not higher than AD TF
-Almost as good as AD TF in terms of pushing due to lichbane proc
-I'm not sure if they patched it out yet, but zhonya's hourglass can be used during destiny port, so easy escapes

I've always played AP TF. Just a lot easier bursty ganks with CC. Also wins out lanes pretty easily. I think it's down to personal preference cause even high ELO players bounce between the two builds.

AP TF is far superior vs squishies with burst damage, AD or AS TF is good vs Tanks with the likes of Madreds and SotD.

AD for consistent damage, AP for burst.

Ahhh... Both are viable. Usually I play AP TF in ranked or with a full premade, AP TF is very team dependent since he can't backdoor as effectively as AD TF.

His Q is easy to dodge, but I heard they will be buffing it soon in some patch... After that Im pretty sure ill stick to AP...Since the range on his Q is just beautiful

My main concern with AP TF is that late game it gets pretty weak if the enemy just stacks tons of MR, the best and most obvious solution would be getting a void staff... AD TF however just becomes a monster late game who can get a turret down in 1 second.

My vote's for AP. I think there's champions that do what AD tf does, and they do it better. AP tf has a unique role that really compliments his skillset.

I like AD, and i've seen AD tf becoming more popular

Build:

ANy boots
Bloodthirster
Phantom
Infinity
Trinityforce
tanky item, banshees, frozen mallet

+ flash and Teleport = ultimate backdooring + escape

This is what i usually go, youcan rush HP
