League of Legends (LoL) Question: TF and "panic cards".

Posted in Champions | Tags: Twisted Fate 11,708

    TF and "panic cards".

    I've been streaming my learning process with Twisted Fate. GMD has helped me a lot with his build path and other mechanics but one thing I notice I do a lot is my tendacy to "panic Pick A Card)" in team fights or in lane, not as much when chasing, I normally get the right card for that.

    But, is there a special mentality I need to not panic when I pop Pick A Card? any tips would be appreciated.

    Well if you want to be a really pro tf, you just keep track of which cards gonna pop up when you use Pick A Card.

    I'll have to work on that, and I was just told to practice the card counting thing by last hitting only with blue cards.

    thanks guys!

    Yes, what I said was aimed at those panic-clutch-card situations.

    Yea it's mainly only an issue when I need the card RIGHT THEN, and not when im setting up for something, like "OH SHIII-- XIN'S JUMPING AT ME NEED GOLD NAO. FUUU I CLICKED BLUE."

    Remember to breathe (I still forget to do this sometimes whilst picking a card, but breathing helps you relax a LOT), sometimes I tap my foot to the timing of the card changes, but all-in-all, it's just lots of practice until you learn to simply stay calm.

    Ok that helps but it still doesn't really answer my question. Is there a mentality to be in to not panic pick cards, or is it's all just in amazing reaction time?

    The starting Pick A Card card of the rotation is based off of the time you threw your Pick A Card. If you understand this process then you can catch a lot of people off guard with an instant gold card.

    The cycle keeps going even if it's on/off cooldown.

    And how does one do that? does it always leave off at the card you last used?

    I agree with what you said about practicing with the blue card on minions, not only does it seem to do the mode damage but if you build correctly it will actually repay the mana cost and then some. Once you've got the hang of how often you get your blue then the rest should come easily, also remember that the blue card works on tower hits too.

    hi OTGBionicArm

    My main is AD Twisted Fate and I am going to help you somehow xD

    Heres the thing, so, you are having difficults in choosing the right card because you get too nervous in a teamfight.

    Now, you may try to do some of these tips:

    Look at the W icon, if you are in trouble where you are not able to look in the teamfight because there are too big champions in your head (chogaht, zac...), just look at the W Icon colours at the bot of your screen instead of the cards above tf' head.

    I usually am guided by my guts, but I believe that the Pick a Card pattern is red -> yellow -> blue -> red ... (just memorize R - Y- B, R - Y - B or the colours itself :) )

    But now... a pro tip from me:

    Its not always good to go for the specific gold card, why? Starting the Pattern so that you pick Gold Card will make your enemy go back instantly, so, my tip is...

    During laning phase or when going for the kill after the teamfight when they have very low hp (runners), pick a card fast, then throw it fast! SURPRISE CARD.

    Some people normally would say: " I am gonna wait for the gold card, then go back so that he cant hit me", but I do: "look a minion, gonna last hit WTF BOOM (hit random pick a card at enemy face)".

    U can even do that with blue card hehe


    Oh god... writting too much, ok ok, I do believe you will get there by practicing and remaining calm, thats the most important after all!

    Cheers. good luck!

    Play more honestly. Just keep thinking to yourself to not panic mash W and you'll get there eventually :P
