Irelia
Never push the wave against this disgusting champ because she will freeze on you at level 3. ONLY LAST HIT MINIONS!





Shen
If you have a shen top try to coordinate ult usage and 5 man bot with the jungler.



-
- Try to get +8 cs/min (Twisted Fate's passive gives you more gold from minions)
-
- Don't die in lane (You are never really supposed to win lane, you go even in lane and play the map)
-
- Time your recall so you have items when you are using your first ultimate
-
- Improve your wave control so your opponent doesn't get the chance to freeze the lane on you.
-
- Twisted Fate is a champion that requires great macro understanding so don't dwell too much on mechanical missplays. Focus on your map movement/positioning.
-
- Watch Dopa replays/streams.
Hello to all my

Playing Twisted Fate I've come up with my own customized runes/build shared with you in this guide.
Feel free to follow me on Twitch to watch me play or follow me on social media! During season 11 I will try to stream my games for you guys to watch.

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, cheese invades, etc...
His global ultimate

His passive

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 crab/dragon/herald. It also allows them to invade the enemy jungler when Twisted Fate has his r

Twisted Fate gives alot of 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.
This is why opponents in high 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.

LATEGAME ITEMS:

I go W-E-Q because I really like the stacked deck level 2 for farming and pressuring the opponent. The only time I go W-Q-E is when I am zoned away from my farm lvl 2. (Which rarely happens).
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). Use your global ultimate to get other lanes ahead and splitpush in the mid game.
First crab spawn
Always try to play for your jungler when the first crab is about to spawn. Make sure you have your wave pushed in so you can move first. If you can't move first try to follow. Your jungler will let you know whether he wants to go for the crab or not. If he doesn't want to contest try to get the other crab. Getting double crabbed as a jungler is often a deathsentence to the game. (Or atleast thats what alot of junglers think).
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.
Your first ult

For your first ult you should try to base at lvl 5 to buy your first items. Run to lane, get level 6 and start looking for ganks. Or you can greed, stay in lane, get level 6, then base and look for an ultimate. But I often get poked out before that. This depends on the elo you play in. Lower elo players will rarely punish you, meaning you can stay in lane longer and greed your base timings.
Ult usage after that

Your ults after that are really dependent on the game state. I myself often try to ult after I base. So I run from fountain to bot/top, ult in and after that I can run mid to catch my minions.
Your mythic item
Once you have your

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.
Lane swaps
Once your bot ganks start paying off and you manage to get bot tower swap lanes with your botlane. They will both go mid will you will farm up bot and pressure from there. You do this because a botlaner & support give off alot 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.
Stacked Deck
Whenever you are looking for ults always make sure you have a

As of season 11 I offer coaching to any players who would like to learn from me. I don't only coach Twisted Fate players! I charge €20 for 1 session 60 - 90 min.
In this session:
- We go over your op.gg (possible rune/build/champion pool issues)
- We go over a pov gameplay you recorded and uploaded to youtube. (NO REPLAY!)
- We have a look at your mental aspect in the game (toxicity, giving up, ...)
- We go over your schedule (when are you playing games? Are you playing too many?)
* All the above can change depending on your personal requests!
If you are interested you can message me on my discord so we can talk about the details. Discord: https://discord.gg/aeuA3Jy
