Twisted Fate Passive Ability
Threats & Synergies
Akali
Akali is a melee champion and therefore you have a significant advantage. Harass hard pre 6 and try to shut her down as hard as possible. She can however come back mid and late game so make sure to stun her in fights.
Ezreal
Ezreal lacks waveclear and has a hard time against anyone who pushes hard, so do exactly that. Don't get hit by his skill shots and you'll golden.
Shaco
AP Shaco has trouble doing anything early. He does however have a REALLY good escape and might be hard to kill. Once he gets his clone you want to be careful as it scales really well with AP. Poke hard, shove lane and prepare for ganks and you should be fine. Level 9 he will get a huge powerspike so make sure he can't snowball.
Zilean
Zilean only has one source of damage and that's his bombs. Dont walk on them and make sure to not get close to the minions that walks over them. That's pretty much everything you need to watch out for.
Brand
Brand has a stun, some pretty good all in potential and decent waveclear. Push hard and roam. He's pretty open for ganks as he doesn't have an escape, but make sure that he can't just ult and get a double kill when your jungler ganks...
Morgana
Morganas Q,W combo is really strong so make sure to stay behind your minion wave. If you get ganked you NEED to doge her Q and if your jungler ganks you need to stun her before she Q's someone. Otherwise it's a pretty simple lane. If she spell shields everything you throw she'll run out of mana and if she don't she'll run out of health.
Riven
Riven has a shield that can, if properly used, negate a lot of your damage. She is however a melee champion so use that to deny her CS and poke her down.
Sona
Sona has huge breasts... I mean burst... Jokes aside though, when built AP her powercord is devastating and you wanna be careful with that. Wait till she uses it to CS and then continue as usual. Poke and push.
Kassadin
Kassadin's laning phase is horrible until he reaches level 4 and even then its not very good. Harass him hard and shove, but beware he can farm well under turret and doesnt have any mana problems thanks to his E. Roam as much as you can and watch out once he gets his ult as his burst will increase significantly.
Katarina
Katarina is a decent matchup for Twisted Fate as you outrange her with your wild cards and since she's a melee champion you can deny her CS. Don't let her harass you with her Q,E,W combo and watch out for her ultimate after 6. You need to save your stun until she ults, which is easier said than done, and that's what makes her a bit dangerous.
Ryze
Ryze has a shield that makes him able to trade really well, so be aware of that. He also has a bind and an ultimate that allows him to heal A LOT. Poke him down and don't engage in a full out fight. Otherwise it's a pretty standard lane.
Vladimir
Vladimir has EXTREMELY good sustain so he's really hard to poke down. He can also dodge your stun which makes him virtually ungankable. Make sure that you push the wave as ahrd as possible as he has a hard time farming under tower and roam whenever possible.
Ahri
You have better poke and waveclear than her but what makes her a somewhat tricky matchup is her all in and chase potential. Ganks can be devestating if she lands her charm. Be careful!
Galio
Galio is dealy when you get ganked due to his slow, taunt, movement speed buff and tankyness. So be careful and buy wards. Otherwise he should be a standard lane. Just a little harder to poke down.
Jayce
Jayce has good poke but he cant poke through minions like you can, so keep the wave between you. He doesn't have any sustain and he's really mana hungry so poke him down and force him to back, or kill him if you can. At higher levels he might prove more of a challenge but nothing you should not be able to handel. Just don't get cocky and overextend or do something stupid like that. Getting close to him might be the last thing you'll ever do.
Karma
Karma is really strong in her early levels thanks to her Mantra. She also sustains very well and can ingore most of your damage thanks to her shield. She has good waveclear and is generally a really annoying matchup. You do however outrange her, so try to poke her as much as you can while still making sure to CS well.
Karthus
Karthus can push extremely hard but you outrange him by quite a bit so make sure to hit him with wild cards while hiting the majority of the wave at the same time. He has a ridicolous slow to so watch out for ganks.
Nidalee
Nidalee is a poke champ, but she cant poke you through minions so keep the wave between you and her. She has a heal so poke her and make her use up her mana. Once she has no mana she either needs to back or accept that you have full control over the lane. This gives you an amazing opportunity to roam.
Twisted Fate
Twisted Fate mirrorlane. You just need to be better than your opponent. No advantages or disadvantages here.
Anivia
Anivia is not that different from twisted fate. she has a stun and some good poke. The difference is that her stun can be dodged and she doesnt get waveclear until after 6. Just abuse these two points and you should be fine. Just don't get cocky, because she can still kill you if given the oportunity. Also, VERY IMPORTANT, don't get baited by her passive.
Annie
Insane burst! Poke hard and don't get close, especially after 6. Bully her as much as you can, but don't overextend. Push out and roam a lot after 6 if possible.
Azir
Azir will truly test your positioning skills. You need to make sure that you poke harder and farm better than him. The fact that he has an escape makes him hard to gank, so make sure that you get the stun of!
Kennen
Kennen might be hard to poke down as she can dodge your skillshots relatively easy. This might prove a pretty even matchup and the only tip I can give you is stun her before she stuns you and don't stand in her ultimate. Ganks are adviced.
Lissandra
She has good mana sustain and can poke through minion waves just like you. However that is also her weakness, she can just poke if there is a minion wave. So for once you should not keep the minion wave between you and your opponent. Make sure to not get ganked as she has a lot of cc after 6 and an imobalize before that. If you get a gank from your jungler, stun her once she uses her E and befopre she teleports to it. That way you interupt her escape.
Lux
Lux is an all-in champion and you need to watch out for her binding as it will let her get her entire combo off without problem. She also has a shield and can negate some of your damage. It should however not be enough to keep her from getting poked down by you. If you get low and she has her ult up, make sure to run all the way back to the second turret before backing.
Malzahar
Malzahar has really good waveclear and once he hits level 6 his ultimate can pretty much obliterate you, especially if you're getting ganked. Watch out for flash ults and poke him with wild cards while staying well out of range. He is very easy to gank as long as you get your stun of though, so make sure to let your jungler know.
Tristana
AP Tristana can pop you like a baloon if she gets the chance, so don't give it to her. Poke her down and shut her down. Call for ganks if necessary. She has an annoying escape so she might be hard to kill. Just have patients and don't do anything stupid.
Diana
Diana is really dangerous once she hits 6 and her jungler can easily gank thanks to her E. Poke hard pre 6 and try to bait her into using up all her mana. Once she's 6 you want to shove lane so that she can't roam but be careful and watch out for ganks. WARDS ARE ADVISED!
Gragas
Gragas has good sustain thanks to his passive and has a lot of crowd control. you don't wanna get ganked so buy wards. If you get ganked stun Gragas and back out immediately.
Talon
Talon has a gap clsoer, a slow and an ultimate which makes him invisible, all of which are very dangerous, especially if you get ganked. Your ult however counters his so if you have destiny up you should consider using it to reveal him.
Varus
Varus is a lot like Twisted fate in that he has a long range poke and good waveclear. Avoid his skill shots and hit yours. Be careful after 6 as a gank is pretty much a guaranteed kill if he hits his ult.
Yasuo
Yasuo is an AD champion so make sure to take armor. He can push well and once he gets close he can harass really well to, so don't let him. Make sure to dodge his whirlwinds and keep the minions out of turret range. Auto attack him once in a while to keep his shield down then throw wild cards at him.
Zyra
Zyra has a snare that is pretty dangerous. Her plants work a lot like Heimerdingers towers and should be taken down as fast as possible. She is hard to gank due to her ult and the snare, so your stun is vital to get a succesful gank off. She is somewhat mana hungry and if you continue to push lane her mana pool will soon be empty and the lane in your pocket. Just don't get too cocky.
Ekko
Ekko is a tricky lane opponent as he has long range poke, a stun, a massive shield, a godlike gapcloser and is practically unkillable thanks to his ultimate. Take advantage of the fact that he's a melee champion and make him use up his mana to CS.
Heimerdinger
Heimerdinger is a pretty boring matchup. Pushing the lane is gonna be a bit hard because of his turrets. So you want to focus on hitting more than one turret with your wild cards and use your blue cards as often as possible. Focus on keeping his towers down and not getting punished too much for it, but DON'T foget to CS.
LeBlanc
LeBlanc is an assassin and should be treated as such. Be careful not to get too close and don't let her harass you with her Q,E combo. Poke her down and play generally passively, she's somewhat of a lane bully.
Syndra
Syndra is really dangerous once she hits 6. Her burst is ridicolous and you want to stay well out of range. Keep moving around so she misses her stun and harass and keep pushing and poking. She has no escapes so call for ganks to shut her down early.
Veigar
Veigar is actually pretty dangerous thanks to his stun and massive burst potential. Be careful not to get ganked and poke from a far.
Vel'Koz
Vel'Koz has superb waveclear and if he gets his passive off the damage can be a bit overwhelming. Dodge as many of his spells as possible and stun him once he uses his ult, if you can. He has no escape so ganks are adviced.
Cassiopeia
Cassiopia is one of those heavy poke lanes. She also has good waveclear which pretty much makes her a nightmare. Call for ganks and try to outrange her with your Wild cards.
Fizz
Fizz has good all in potential and is one of few champions that can dodge your stun. Be careful and use you stun after he uses his E. He is very dangerous as he has a gap closer, slow and a huge amount of damage. Be careful!
Xerath
Xerath actually outranges you, which is pretty rare. He will most likely try to push lane and poke you under tower. Call for ganks and try to push him back as much as possible once you get your ult. Watch out for his stun if you get ganked and never stand still if you're low hp and his ult is up.
Zed
Zed is really dangerous! You NEED to take armor for this matchup and you NEED to rush Zhonya's. He is one of few champions that can actually outrange you and he has a really good damage output pre 6 and after 6 his ultimate enables him to towerdive and assassinate you without problems. Zhonya's will help a lot, make sure to call for ganks and bait his shadow before your jungler engages. That way he doesn't have any escapes other than his flash.
Ziggs
Ziggs can both poke and waveclear very well and has an escape, that if used correctly, makes it hard to gank him. Dodge his Q, hit your wild cards and do your best to push lane. Out sustain him and roam when you get the chance.
Kog'Maw
AP Kog'maw is a horrible matchup! He can poke you down super easy and has good enough waveclear to keep you from roaming. Your only chance is to call for ganks, you have a stun and he doesn't have any escapes.
Orianna
Orianna can both poke and shield herself from your damage while still waveclearing pretty good. She can slow you if you get ganked and after 6 her ult makes ganks even more potent. She is really dangerous. Eventually she'll run out of mana though so play defensivly and out sustain her.
Viktor
Viktor has really good waveclear and poke, he also has a shield and a stun. He is very dangerous. Call for ganks and make sure you get that stun off! Play defesnivly as he snowballs pretty hard.

Threats & Synergies
Rumble
Rumble is one of the few I've had issues with, play extremely careful and make sure to harass when he is overloaded.
Irelia
This matchup is close to un-winnable, Irelia is really strong vs AP TF, just try to go even and back all the time when you're low.
Heimerdinger
Heimer is really easy for you, since Heimer usually wins by pushing, but as AD TF that is the dream for you, as you can sit back and farm and relax and get your early Blade of the Ruined King and win the game and snowball your farm to a win
Nasus
Easy to kite, make sure to punish him for stacking his Q, once you got a Blade of the Ruined King you will melt him easy.
Akali
Can be difficult after level 6, but you will trash her pre-6 so you'll get ahead and she can't do anything after that, so make sure to get ahead pre-6
Jax
Jax is one of the few that you'll encounter trouble with, try to win pre-6, which will be easy, but after that he outtrades you heavily.

Threats & Synergies
Vayne
Vayne is a really easy matchup, you out-trade her pre-6 and after 6, when she ults to go invisible, you can simply ulti, gold card to lock her down and autoattack her down.
Jinx
Jinx can't really trade with Twisted Fate, as she have no spells to do so, simply just dodge her W and E and she'll be an easy target.
Corki
Corki is harmless, sure he can poke you down, but he can't really trade with you. He doesn't get any major powerspikes at level 6 so the game should be fairly easy for you.
Ezreal
No threat at all, can only poke you down, won't be able to trade once you go in with stun card, try to bait his E then go for gold card and you'll win trades.
Quinn
Short ranged, easy to trade with. Just make sure to dodge her blind or back off before she gets the chance to use it.
Varus
Varus can poke you down heavily, but won't be able to trade with you face to face, so won't be an issue, just make sure to go for gold card trades as often as possible. (When he is low on minions)
Caitlyn
n Caitlyn can be hard sometimes if she gets an early lead, otherwise it shouldn't be a problem, just avoid stepping in traps.
Ashe
Ashe can be tricky if she is played correctly. She will not be an issue pre-6, but after level 6 she can probably ulti and kill you before you get the chance to react. Easy to bully pre-6 tho, so take advantage of that.
Miss Fortune
Low mobility but great damage, gold card her after shes already used her Q on minions or on your support.
Draven
Draven will damage more than you during all stages of the game, so you'll have to make sure to kill him before he gets out of your gold card. Only trade while he is stunned, otherwise he'll make you regret it.
Sivir
Sivir will be a problem since she can spellshield your stun and poke you with boomerang, so you'll have issues with her unless you or your support baits her spellshield pre-trading.
Tristana
Tristana is scary in the early game, aswell as later on in the game due to her long range and insane damage, do not trade with here unless you got the upper-hand.
Teemo
Teemos blind is incredibly strong versus Twisted Fate, so if Teemo blinds you, just run for your life, there is nothing you can do. But make sure to go back once you know his blind is on cooldown for free trades due to his short range.
Kalista
Kalista have a very strong early game that will hurt you badly, just try to survive until you get your blade of the ruined king and you can win fights easily.
Twitch
Really strong in duel, especially suprise attacks. Trade with him, do not let him engage on you.
Urgot
Urgot will crush you in lane, luckily he isn't played alot. Just make sure to dodge his E and Qs and you can take him in the later stages of the game.
Kog'Maw
Kog'Maw is probably the hardest matchup, luckily he isn't played alot. He is hard due to his long range and heavy damage.
