- Try to get +7 cs/min; Twisted Fate's passive ( Loaded Dice) gives you extra gold from minions. Farming is a very important skill especially on Twisted Fate as it will be something you can rely on every game. - Don't die in lane. There are very few matchups that Twisted Fate actually wins. Try to get as much cs as you can without dying and play the map with your ultimate. Don't be centered on killing your opponent in lane. Twisted Fate's kit isn't designed to 1v1 stomp your enemy like a Fizz, Akshan or Sylas would do. Getting a 1v1 kill is only possible if your opponent really misplays. - Time your recall so you have items when you are using your first ultimate. The perfect first base would be at level 5. Get back to lane with all the items you purchased and then when you hit level 6 you will be ready to for your first ultimate. - Improve your wave control so your opponent doesn't get the chance to freeze the lane on you. In bad matchups try to focus on last hitting and let the wave come to you. Pushing the wave in a bad matchup will put you in danger to get ganked. ONLY PUSH WHEN YOU: want to roam, ult or get priority for an objective. - Twisted Fate is a champion that requires great macro understanding so don't dwell too much on mechanical misplays. Focus on your map movement/positioning. Rewatch your own gameplay (mainly your ults) and question your decision making. - Don't permanently group with your team. Your ultimate allows you to split push in a sidelane. This allows you to get a lot more XP and Gold while being able to use your ult to get back to your team in case a fight breaks out. - Try to play towards 1 win-condition. Its often better to ult botlane 4 times than to ult bot 2 times and top 2 times. Play for 1 carry and safe your ultimate to help them out. Don't feel like you have to help everyone out. There are a lot of games where I don't even go top once, just because I feel like bot has more influence over winning the game.

Twisted Fate is a very unique champion in the sense that you don't have to be mechanically gifted to win games on him. Most Twisted Fate players have a really good sense of macro which allows them to win games. You can be very creative when playing this champion in terms of roaming, wave management, splitting the map, playing front to back with your adc, or flanking and diving the enemy backline, etc...

His global ultimate Destiny makes him a perfect soloq champion since he is able to abuse bad positioning from enemies very easily. For example; you can ult on the enemy adc when he is greeding to farm an extra wave on his own.

His passive Loaded Dice allows him to get a lot of extra gold without having to get kills. You can essentially only farm minions and get a gold lead against your opponent. This means that you don't need to mechanically outplay your opponent in lane in order to get ahead in the game. Just safely farming up is often the best way to play Twisted Fate.

High elo junglers love playing with good Twisted Fate players because he is easy to setup ganks with and has very good wave pushing which allows him to move first for objectives. When Twisted Fate has his R up it also allows them to invade the enemy jungler. Try to always consider your jungler position when playing Twisted Fate.

Twisted Fate gives a lot of map pressure without even doing anything. When you push your waves and move out of vision the enemy team often tends to play scared because they don't know where Twisted Fate is moving. He could be in the river ready to ult on top of them. Try to abuse this when playing him.

This is also why opponents in higher elo often refuse to push their waves because they know Twisted Fate will ult on them. This gives your team alot of 'free' pressure when you are out of vision.

Twisted Fate also fits in basically every team composition (in soloq). He is not AD so you don't have to worry about having a full AD comp. The way his kit works also synergises really well with other champions. Your teammates can for example follow up on your gold card cc and stun a target for multiple seconds.

Twisted Fate teaches you to look at the game through a different lens. While most champions are focused on winning the laning phase Twisted Fate is designed to play the map rather than winning the lane. This will give you a very different view on how to actually win games, without stomping your lane opponent. You will learn to look at the game holistically rather than through your lane alone.

Dopa: 'I personally don’t think that the choice of runes matter that much. Runes are balanced, so using one rune over another is a matter of taste. The important thing is that you have to play according to the runes and spells that you have chosen.'


Unsealed Spellbook gives you the option to swap summoner spells when out of combat. This rune is good when you play into champions that can easily poke you out of lane and force you to take a bad base like; Anivia, Orianna, Syndra, Ahri, Akshan, Aurelion Sol, Azir, Neeko.
These champions will trade you out of lane, so going this setup you will be able to Teleport back to lane, not miss any minions and swap to Ignite a few moments later in order to have extra kill pressure on your first R usage while Teleport is down.
Spellbook is also great against assassins like Zed, Fizz or LeBlanc. Against these types of champions you want to stay healthy (preferably above 70%hp). You don't want to give them a window to all in. Running spellbook you will be able to recall when low hp and Teleport back to lane, denying assassins a window to all in you.

Selecting a unique summoner spell reduces the swap cooldown by 25 seconds.

Priority of Summoner spells to unlock with Unsealed spellbook:
Ignite -> Exhaust -> Ghost -> Heal

1) Recall at level 5, and teleport back to lane.
2) Wait for summoner spellbook cooldown, swap your used summoner spell Teleport to Ignite. You are now level 6, and have ignite for extra kill pressure on your first ultimate.
3) Wait for Teleport cooldown. Use Teleport, swap it to Exhaust
4) If you use flash you can swap it to Ghost

Cash Back refunds 6% of the gold spent when purchasing a legendary item. This means you will save a total of 918 gold on your full build. 156 on Rod of Ages, 192 on Lich Bane, 159 on Rapid Firecannon, 195 on Zhonya's Hourglass and 216 on Rabadon's Deathcap.

Biscuit Delivery will give you a free cookie at 2:00, 4:00, and 6:00. If your inventory is full while receiving a biscuit, the biscuit will appear as soon as a slot in the inventory is available. These biscuits work the same as Health Potion's. They serve as a form of extra sustain/survivability in the laning phase. Every biscuit will restore 20 + 2% of your maximum health increased by up to 100% based on missing health. Consuming a biscuit permanently increases your health by 30. So consuming all 3 will give you an additional 90 health.

Cosmic Insight lowers your summoner spell cooldowns. Together with Ionian Boots of Lucidity you can lower Flash from 5:00 to 3:50. This is really nice since summoner spells like Flash if used properly can win you games.

Bone Plating gives you some extra defence during laning phase. This is good vs bursty champions like LeBlanc, Talon, Fizz, Zed, etc. If you are playing against more poke heavy champions like Viktor, Anivia, Syndra, Akshan, etc you can swap this out for Second Wind.

Overgrowth gives you some extra health for every monster/minion dying near you. This rune will provide you some extra tankiness.

+10% Attack speed

+9 Adaptive force

The last rune is defence. I always go flat health.

Electrocute setup gives you extra damage when you hit a target with 3 unique attacks/abilities. For Twisted Fate this means it procs when we have a Stacked Deck and hit an opponent with Wild Cards & Pick A Card. This allows us to have some really good early trades with our opponent and gives you alot of extra kill pressure. It will help with getting a kill when your jungler ganks or when you ult to sidelane.

Electrocute is good when playing against melee champions like;
Katarina, Akali, Kassadin, Galio, Qiyana, Ekko, Talon, Sylas, Diana...
The reason it is good against them is because you can easily proc it rune on them in laning phase by doing your combo onto them and auto attacking.

Electrocute is also good when you play against a mage that can't punish you hard enough in lane to where you have to take a bad base like;
Annie, Ryze, Cassiopeia, Lissandra, Veigar.

Taste of Blood heals you when you hit an enemy champion. This is really nice for skirmishes and makes laning a bit easier for Twisted Fate since we will be able to heal up some of the damage we take.

Grisly Mementos gives you 6 trinket haste per Memento stack, up to 108 haste at maximum stacks. You can earn a Memento stack whenever scoring a champion takedown, up to 18 stacks.

Ultimate Hunter lowers your ultimate cooldown with every kill you get. Meaning to fully stack this you will have to kill/get an assist on every opponent once. You can't collect a bounty twice on the same target. This rune is very snowbally and works well with Twisted Fate's global ability. It's easier for him to stack this rune up compared to other champions. Whether you go Relentless Hunter, Ultimate Hunter or Treasure Hunter is really just personal preference.

Manaflow Band permanently increases your maximum mana by 25 after hitting an enemy champion with an ability. You can proc this rune every 15 seconds and the cap is set at 250 extra mana in total. Mana gained from this effect preserves your current mana. After reaching 250 bonus mana, permanently restore 1% of your missing mana every 5 seconds.

Absolute Focus makes you gain 3–30 (based on level) Ability Power while above 70% of your maximum health. Going this rune in combination with Gathering Storm will allow you to oneshot the backline minions at level 9 which allows for very good wave clear and better roaming possibilities.

+10% Attack speed

+9 Adaptive force

The last rune is defence. I always go flat health.

DISCLAIMER
These are the runepage I run. But there are plenty of other runes on Twisted Fate that are viable like; First Strike, Arcane Comet, Summon Aery & even Phase Rush. I've seen players getting high rating with all these setups so its really up to you to find out what you prefer/fits your playstyle.

-- W -- E -- Q -- Q --- Q -- R --- Q -- W -- Q -- W -- R -- W -- W --- E --- E --- R -- E --- E --

In terms of abilities you max Q Wild Cards first, then W Pick A Card, then E Stacked Deck.
Ofcourse you unlock your R Destiny whenever you can, at level 6, 11 and 16.


Always start with W. Unless you are playing against Kassadin, you could start E and buy Doran's Blade first item and auto attack kassadin out of lane this way.

Passive: Loaded Dice Upon killing a unit, Twisted Fate rolls his 'lucky' dice receiving 1 to 6 bonus gold.

Q: Wild Cards Twisted Fate throws three cards, dealing damage to each enemy unit they pass through.

W: Pick A Card Twisted Fate chooses a magic card from his deck, and uses that for his next attack, causing bonus effects..

E: Stacked Deck Every 4 attacks, Twisted Fate deals bonus damage. In addition, his Attack Speed is increased.

R: Destiny Twisted Fate predicts the fortunes of his foes, revealing all enemy champions and enabling the use of Gate, which teleports Twisted Fate to any target location in 1.5 seconds.

Teleport

Teleport is the go to summoner spell if you run the Unsealed Spellbook runepage. You use this summoner spell as a way to mitigate CS/XP loss during the laning phase. This means you can recall safely when you get low HP and teleport back to lane without missing any minions. After the laning phase Teleport will also allow you to splitpush more easily since you will have both your R Destiny & Teleport to get to your team incase a teamfight breaks out.

Ignite

Ignite is the go to summoner spell if you run the Electrocute runepage. You use this summoner spell for extra kill pressure on your opponent during the laning phase aswell as extra kill pressure on your ultimate. Only take this summoner spell if you are certain you won't get poked out of lane. If you think you will get poked out you're better off taking Teleport. After the laning phase Teleport will also allow you to splitpush more easily since you will have both your R Destiny & Teleport to get to your team incase a teamfight breaks out.

Rod of Ages

Rod of Ages gives the defenses you need in health. It also offers a lot of mana, and a decent amount of ability power. The reason why it's such a nice item on Twisted Fate is because of one of it's components called Catalyst of Aeons. Twisted Fate has a pretty weak laning phase and very few winning matchups. Catalyst of Aeons will allow you to survive the laning phase more easily. Try to complete this item at around 8-12mins. The faster you complete it the faster you can start getting stacks. Rod of Ages gives you 1 stack for every minute. Up to 10 stacks total. 1 stack gives you 10hp, 20mana and 3 ability power. So fully stacked Rod of Ages gives an additional 100hp, 200mana and 30 ability power. Add this to the base stats and you will have 450hp, 600mana and 75 ability power. All these stats for a total of only 2600gold.

Lich Bane

Lich Bane synergises really well with Twisted Fate because of the 4% movement speed it gives and the passive. Since Twisted Fate auto attacks a lot in fights you will be able to make full use of the Lich Bane passive. Going Lich Bane second will allow you to one shot the backline creeps at level 9 which is really important to get good roams.

Rapid Firecannon

Rapid Firecannon is an item you mainly buy to get the extra range on your gold card. Since Twisted Fate his W Pick A Card counts as an auto attack, you actually get extra range on your gold card when you have your Rapid Firecannon fully stacked. You stack up your Rapid Firecannon by walking around. Another very nice stat this item gives is the 4% movement speed. This item is very good when the enemy team comp is very long range, for example; Vel'Koz, Xerath, Caitlyn, Zyra, ... Other games where I would buy the item is if my team has no setup. So champions with no CC in their kit, for example; Garen, Kindred, Miss Fortune, Karma. These champions can't setup a pick or start a teamfight properly. This is why I would buy Rapid Firecannon here, because it will allow me to start the teamfight for my team a lot more easily.

Zhonya's Hourglass

Zhonya's Hourglass allows you to ult into 3 opponents, stun the high priority target, do your damage rotation, activate Zhonya and wait for your team to arrive. The item gets you out of a lot of sticky situations where you would otherwise die. This item to some people might look like a defensive item, but if you use it creatively it can also be used as an offensive one. The reason why I feel like this is a good item to have on Twisted Fate is because of the play making potential that comes with the active.

Mejai's Soulstealer

Mejai's Soulstealer is a perfect option if you have a 10 stack Dark Seal from an early buy. You get 4 stacks for killing an opponent and 2 for an assist. If you die you will lose 10 stacks. I will only upgrade my Dark Seal into Mejai's Soulstealer if I have 10 stacks on my Dark Seal. If you rarely die/get caught this item is very good for you. Keep in mind you still want to be usefull for your team. Don't play overly safe just because you have this item, you need to find the sweet spot of playing in the enemy their face and not inting. If you tend to die a lot this item is not for you.

Banshee's Veil

Banshee's Veil is really good against heavy AP comps or champions that start fights with one cc spell like (Blitzcrank, Sejuani, Thresh, Malphite, Nautilus, Ashe, ...) I will most of the time stick to Zhonya's Hourglass but if I find myself playing against a lot of AP champions I will for sure get Banshee's Veil because of the magic resist it provides. Example of a heavy AP comp: Enemy team has: Malphite, Nidalee, Syndra, Twitch, Karma.

Morello

Morellonomicon is an item you have to buy when the enemy team has a lot of healing/lifesteal in their kits. Players like to refer to these items as 'Antihealing'. The item will make it so their healing/lifesteal is less effective. Buy this item when playing against Yuumi, Soraka, Sona, Taric, Fiora, Sett, Darius, Sylas, Vladimir, Dr. Mundo, Warwick, Zac, Yone, Aatrox, Swain

Rabadon's Deathcap

Rabadon's Deathcap should only be purchased when you already have around 3 AP items. This is because it increases your AP by 35%. So buying it second item means the passive goes to waste. Rabadon's Deathcap is a good item to finalize your build.

Void Staff

Void Staff is really good as a 3rd or 4th item when you are playing against a lot of tanks or when enemy team is just buying a lot of Magic Resist items. Example of these items could be; Mercury's Treads, Wit's End, Maw of Malmortius, Spirit Visage, Quicksilver Sash, Banshee's Veil

Elixir of Sorcery

Elixir of Sorcery can win you late game teamfights. If after 20 minutes you have 500 gold to spare and you know a fight is coming up make sure you buy this item since it synergises really well with Twisted Fate. Lich Bane + Elixir of Sorcery allows you to shred down turrets like its nothing.

Boots of Swiftness are currently my go to boots. They give a lot of movement speed and are insanely cheap. The reason they are so good on Twisted Fate is because he relies on movement speed to catch up to champions and land his gold card.

Ionian Boots of Lucidity are also a good option. They give alot of ability haste for the amount of gold you have to spend. These boots also give you summoner spell haste, which means they will lower the cooldown on your Flash and Teleport. Together with comsic insight you can lower Flash from 5:00 to 3:50. This is really nice since summoner spells like Flash if used properly can win you games.

Mercury's Treads are really good when you play against heavy cc/ AP dmg (for example; Lissandra, Leona, Sejuani, Ahri, ...). When I play against an AP jungler and mid with stuns like; Fiddlesticks & Syndra or Evelynn & Annie I will base at 1100 gold and buy them first item.

Plated Steelcaps are really good if the enemy team has a lot of AD champions. For example; Zed, Kha'Zix, Vayne, Pyke, Renekton, ...) If this is the case, purchase your Plated Steelcaps first then buy your mythic Everfrost and finally as third item buy Zhonya's Hourglass. This will basically make you a tank.

In this section I will go over some concepts that are really important when playing Twisted Fate. Some of them more complicated than others but try to take in as much as you can. It's best work on one concept at a time rather than trying to take in everything at the same time.

River control & warding as Twisted Fate
River control is one of the most important concepts when playing Twisted Fate. This is because Twisted Fate's ultimate isn't completely global. Ulting to a sidelane you will have to walk into the jungle/river. This is why you want vision control over these areas, as then walking into river/jungle is a lot less dangerous. Warding the river is the single most important thing to establish river control. It will allow you to use your ultimate a lot more effectively. Try to always have at least 1 Control Ward on the map. Preferably you want to place this in 1 of the river bushes.

Example of where to place your trinkets and control ward below:

First voidgrubs spawn
At minute 6 the voidgrubs will spawn. Always try to play for your jungler when the first voidgrubs are about to spawn. Make sure you have your wave pushed in so you can move first. Twisted Fate is really scary in early skirmishes because of his gold card.

If you can't move first because you managed your wave badly or the enemy outplayed you, ping your jungler back, he then has to decide whether he wants to give the voidgrubs or contest it.

The important thing to remember here is that you have to play for your jungler. If he doesn't care about the voidgrubs then you can just stay in lane no problem.

Jungler synergy
Synergy with your jungler is really important when playing Twisted Fate. Try to coordinate ganks together. If you want to ult bot at level 6, let your jungler know. That way he can alter his pathing to be botside when you are about to hit 6. If you are 4 man bot you can often easily secure dragon after ganking.



Wave management is a very important skill to have as a Twisted Fate player or as a midlaner in general. It is very complicated and can't be explained in a compact guide. I will try to go over some of the more important things but if you are really getting to higher elo I would recommend looking more into this yourself or booking a coaching session with me.

The first minion waves
Into melee champions like Kassadin, Katarina, Zed you mostly look to harass them in the first few levels. Make sure you don't sacrifice too many minions though. Always make sure your wave is either pushing in fully, stable in the middle of the lane or coming towards you. Every time you cross the middle part of the lane to push in the minions under the enemy tower you should beware of the enemy jungler position since you are susceptible for ganks.

Into ranged champions like Syndra, Viktor, Annie you mostly want to keep the wave in the middle or just out of your tower range. This way you can safely farm and are not really gankable.

Once you have your R Destiny unlocked you can look to push in the wave fully in order to ult to the sidelane without losing too many minions. At level 9 Twisted Fate will be able to oneshot the casters. Try to abuse this to get a fast push in order to roam.

Wave pushing at level 5
At level 5 you will need 2 q's to kill the caster minions, this strategy can be used to get a good recall/base timer. You can shove in the wave fast, recall and by the time you are back in lane you won't miss any minions. Example of me doing it here: https://youtu.be/j_jvdevdvGE?t=308

Minion waves in the later stages of the game
A lot of lower elo players have the mindset of a 'Call of Duty' player. They are only focused on getting kills. Keep in mind the most effective way of getting gold is through minions and not through killing enemies. When you see a big wave Top, Mid or bot and none is getting it make sure you get it. Minions are worth a lot of XP and Gold.

Before starting objectives like rift Herald, Dragon or even Baron you should always make sure your lanes are pushing. This way the enemy will lose a lot of XP and Gold. Its also important because if let's say the dragon fight goes bad, the enemy team won't have any waves to use in order to get your towers. They will have to go back to the base to push in the waves again and you won't lose anything from the bad fight other than a few deaths.

If you have taken inhibitor and you have super minions running down one lane try to stall the objective like dragon and Baron long enough so the enemy starts losing towers without you even doing anything. They will then have to send someone back to the base to defend. And you will be able to fight 4v5 and secure the dragon or baron.



Your ultimate Destiny is the single most important spell Twisted Fate uses to influence the game. This tool if mastered can win you unwinnable games, turn a 2v3 in a 3v3, backdoor the enemy nexus or camp one opponent so hard he decides to go afk. I have had it all and I can say Twisted Fate's ultimate is the reason I like him so much.

Your first ultimate method 1
This is the most basic method and is also used by Dopa in most of his games.
For your first ult you should try to base at lvl 5 to buy your first items. In most games you want these items on your first base; Boots+ Dark Seal+ Amplifying Tome+1 Control Ward

Run to lane after you recalled, get level 6 and start looking for ganks. If there are no opportunities don't feel pressured to use your R Destiny. You can always hold on to it and wait for a better window.

Your first ultimate method 2
Method 2 is very abusable in lower elos. You can greed and stay in lane to get level 6, then base and look for an ultimate from the base. After your ult you can walk back to midlane and you will most likely not lose a lot of minions.

The reason this only works in lower elos is because in Higher elos I often get poked out before that. Lower elo players will rarely punish you, meaning you can stay in lane longer and greed your base timings.

Sidelane control
Always try to heavily control one side of the map. For example you play fully for botside in order to secure dragon soul. Or you play fully for topside in order to get multiple heralds and play the map. Ulting bot, then top, then bot again is often a bad idea since its better to play for one winning side instead of cutting losses on both sides.

Ult usage after that
Your ults after that are really dependent on the game state. I myself often try to ult after I base. I do this because I will have spend all my gold and therefore I will have more damage. If you ult somewhere with 2k in the bank you are missing out on a lot of damage. So, run from fountain to bot/top, ult in and after that you can run mid to catch your minions.



Since Twisted Fate his ultimate is a global ability, splitpushing is another really important skill/concept to understand.

DO NOT 5 MAN ARAM MID
After the laning phase ends try to go into a solo lane. This will give you a lot more xp and gold compared to sitting mid with your entire team and sharing all the xp/gold between 5 players. Whenever you have your Destiny up you can also splitpush and join the fight with your R Destiny if needed.

This is probably one of the most common mistakes lower elo players make. The amount of gold and xp that is wasted in lower mmr because everyone is always trying to 5 man aram in a lane is insane. You can get really big level and item leads by just focusing on catching sidelanes on your own.

Splitpushing Disclaimer ❗
Twisted Fate is not a splitpusher like Tryndamere, Camille, Jax, Fiora & Nasus. These champions have the goal to 1v1 the opponent and get towers in the sidelane.
Twisted Fate is far weaker in an isolated 1v1 compared to these champions. So you have to be a bit more careful when pushing sidelane on your own. When I refer to splitpushing I mean sitting in a sidelane and catching solo xp and gold. Only pressure the enemy with your sidelane push if you are a lot stronger or if you have someone shadowing you (jungler or support are backing you up).

Lane swaps
Once your bot ganks with Destiny start paying off and you manage to get bot tower swap lanes with your botlane. Let them both go mid and you will farm up bot and pressure from there. You do this because a botlaner & support give off a lot more pressure than you on your own without R. Since you already took bot tower you want to move your pressure point from the botlane to midlane.

Basic rule set of catching waves
After about 15 - 20 minutes the laning phase will most of the time be ending.
In most games the XP / Gold is then shared like this;
- The ADC & Support will take the midlane experience.
- You and the toplaner will catch the sidewaves. This can change from bot to top depending on the game state.
- The jungler will catch waves if really needed and farm the jungle camps.



Matchups
Twisted Fate doesn't really have winning matchups. He isn't designed to stomp lane and spread his lead that way. The way you play him is to go even in lane (not die), punish the enemy when you can and try to farm as many minions as you can. Use your global ultimate to get other lanes ahead and splitpush in the mid game.

Map Awareness
Map awareness is another really important skill for every Twisted Fate player. Looking at the map will make you able to determine when and where to use your ultimate Destiny. When you are laning you should look at the mini map every few seconds. Once your ultimate is up, you should look at the minimap a bit more because now you will have to look for an actually opportunity to ult in.

Stacked Deck
Whenever you are looking for ults always make sure you have a Stacked Deck. This gives you a lot of extra damage when ganking. Example; When my ultimate Destiny is up I use my q on the wave instead of auto attacking to clear it. This way I save my stacked deck for when I ult. It will make it so I deal more damage when I initially land.

Identifying your win condition
Twisted Fate is far from a solo carry champion. His identity is more that of a supportive midlane roamer comparable to Karma, Galio & Ryze. Therefore he will always in a way be reliant on his team to close out the game with him. Because of his identity it is really important to be able to identify who you should be playing towards during the game. The 2 strongest carry roles in the current meta are ADC and jungle. So most of the time you want to be playing towards either one of them.

Playing for botlane
When to play for your botlane ✔️
1) Your botlane has a lead over their opponent. (More cs, more turret plates, more items, ...) This indicates they are probably better players, hence why it might be a good idea to get them further ahead.
2) Your support has a strong follow up on your ultimate Destiny + gold card combo. (Examples; Nautilus, Thresh, Leona, Pyke, Blitzcrank, Bard, ...) This makes it really easy to CC chain the enemy and kill them.
3) Your adc is a hardcarry marksman. (Examples; Jinx, Aphelios, Vayne, Twitch, Tristana)

When not to play for your botlane ❌
1) Your botlane is really far behind
2) Your support has a no decent follow up on your ultimate Destiny + gold card combo. (Examples; Lulu, Senna, Karma, Renata Glasc, Soraka, Janna, ...)
3) Your adc is a supportive marksman. (Examples; Jhin, Ezreal, Sivir, Ashe)

Playing for toplane
When to play for your toplaner ✔️
1) Your toplaner is stomping his opponent.
2) Your toplaner has good followup on your ultimate Destiny + gold card combo. (Examples; Camille, Jax, Urgot, Renekton)
3) The toplane matchup is volatile. Meaning; The first champion to get ahead will most likely roll over the other one. (Examples; Fiora vs Irelia, Riven vs Darius, Jayce vs Tryndamere)

When not to play for your toplaner ❌
1) Your toplaner is really far behind. (Don't help your toplaner when he is 0/5. Even when he is spam pinging for help. It makes more sense to play for a winning lane rather then trying to get a losing lane back in the game.)
2) Your toplaner has no followup on your ultimate Destiny + gold card combo. (Examples; Vladimir, Gangplank, Teemo, Kayle)
3) The toplane matchup is tank versus tank or scaling vs scaling. (Examples; Dr. Mundo vs Malphite, Vladimir vs Kayle)

Playing for jungle
When to play for your jungler ✔️
Your jungler is stomping his counterpart. (more cs, higher level, more items, ...) This idicates he is probably a better player, hence why it might be a good idea to get him further ahead.
Your jungler is a carry champion. (Examples; Rengar, Evelynn, Lee Sin, Hecarim, Kha'Zix, Kayn, ...)

When not to play for your jungler ❌
Your jungler is really far behind compared to his counterpart
Your jungler is a tank. (Examples; Amumu, Sejuani, Zac, Rammus)
