Twisted Fate, To carry or Not to carry?

[quote=Rickasta]Twisted Fate, To carry or Not to carry? So I was a dota player for a year and then went to competetive HoN for a year (only one half decent team xin-gaming) but we disbanded, i then was pestered into playing lol by an old dota mate. I started playing and rolling people as youd expect at the lower levels, got some IP and bought TF just before his changes, i like many other tf fans im sure were like WAHHHHH my gold card and gate gone sucked but after playing around with various builds to this day am owning with AP AD AS tf carrieng left right and center.( i use Armour pen runes with hp quints armour seals and AS glyphs) But after i stoped plaing him 24/7 i watched many other people playing him, failing with ap coz they cant farm or playing full AS, or god forbid them trying ... Hybrid (jesus christ). Sooooo the point im trying to make is why do many people fail with what i think to be the Best current Ganking carry in the game, he can stun,slow,harras and damn right faceroll most other carries for example. Your against a carrieng ashe or another carry , yi , twitch blah blah. So you see them go into their forest, you also notice through wards and team sight there arent any heroes missing Bam Ulti gold card SLAP dps their carry in a vulnerable state as their trying to kill lizard,golem or dragon and you get a kill, not to mention shutting their farm down significantly you now have an advantage or having hero farm aswell as insane creep farm throughout the game as you can farm , assist in ganks and be a c**t in teamfights. Whats your guys thoughts on the current TF and how do you play him do you carry or do you shamefully feed. thanks for reading my garbage :))[/quote]

[quote=animorte]My very first game with Twisted Fate (after 1 practice) I went solo que and of course the team put me mid. I was 6/0 by 15 minutes. BUT I tried to join in team fights which got my ass handed to me. I ended the game 10/10 because Twisted Fate IS NOT good for team fights, maybe helping stop or slow down 1 or 2 people. Although I was the only reason we won. Twisted Fate is absolutely untouchable with his backdooring abilities. He has a good early game just like any champ can if you are very aware of the game. I will never rely on him again though.[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]twisted fate is pretty fun sometimes, like animorte said no one can touch his awesome backdooring. like urgot i would love to see him in the magma chamber map, as he'd probably excel in there.[/quote]

[quote=B-Wong]I play him AP and he becomes a great burst champ. Along with backdooring he's awesome! 500 dmg wild cards + loch bane + stacked deck price = just fuckin amazing.[/quote]

[quote=Rickasta]yeh B-Wong i play him ap sometimes also and i must say blue card lich bane proc on towers and inhibs, i lol as i watch their tower just burn down :)[/quote]

[quote=PFP]Pure AP is for utility carrying, and has more effect in teamfights. However I am working on a new build for him that is made for straight up carrying, picking people off 1 by 1, and taking down all the turrets. So yes, he can definitely carry hard as long as you're good enough with him and play smart enough to not get shut down.[/quote]

[quote=ExamplePrime]AP + Lichbane + 40 second ult + teleport MWAHAHA![/quote]

[quote=HeAt]TF is extremely situational and extremely utility based (similar to nidalee or irelia), great hero if you run TF, shen, panth :) that is like auto tele everywhere, that with an ashe arrow and a good stunlock hero like leblanc is really lethal, where ashe would be your DEEPS carry tf would be your utility (for gold card, pushing, backdooring, slows, etc.) - HeAt[/quote]

[quote=DEWO]He is a great controller, he can slow, or stun on demand, and also pretty frequently. AS based TF with bloodrazor is superior tank destroyer. AP is great ganker. AD/AS great backdoorer. From all ranged champs i like TF the most. The sideeffect is that he is so extremaly squishy. I pretty always go for crit build with AS. And carry the team supporting ganks.[/quote]
