Does TF really need this much

sustain? You lose out on a ton of
trading power by not opting for

I disagree with rushing archangel's staff, and having

morellonomicon be a 5th item. Twisted fate reall doesn't have
mana problems thanks to blue card, so I'd think that if anything,
morellonomicon MIGHT be an okay buy on TF. Archangel's?
Nope

I don't nitpick matchups section

too often, but at just a glance, I
don't think katarina is as easy as
you make her out to be. If she
jumps on you when pick a card is
on cooldown, you're in trouble.
Also i'm pretty sure diana is a
hard matchup, since her kill
pressure post 6 is tremendous "Be extra careful when she hits 6"
Doesn't quite capture her kill
potential on TF

Hello, my name is Gushis, you killed my father prepare to die and this is my CDR/Poke
Twisted Fate guide. Twisted Fate is arguably the most badass human mage out thre, but
I'm of course biased. Although Twisted Fate is not really meta right now, I hope this
guide can bring him back into SoloQ as a poke type champion. This is inspired by UOL's
mid-laner PowerOfEvil's Varus, so a shoutout to him. This is my first guide ever, so
feedback is more than welcome. If you do leave feedback, it would be great if you could
point out what you liked and what you didn't really like. Without further ado, let's get
into the actual guide.

Blue card will solve any mana

just rush Luden's instead?
Okay, Reasonable enough.

I still really disagree with

morellonomicon. Since TF deals
so much emphasis on autoattacks,
I feel like even something like
nashor's tooth would be preferable
to morellonomicon.
Your explanations haven't done
enough to sell t me that this is a
viable build path. Do more to
defend why this build path is
preferable to the standard TF
build path.

Expand on this more. EXACTLY

how do you watch for your
enemy jungler. You haven't
suggested that your reader buy
wards, so what do you do to know
where your opponent's jungler is?
How do you break down your
opponent's playstyle to tell that
their jungler is nearby?
'Watch his pathing' isn't specific
enough. You need to teach your
readers that when pick a card is on
cooldown, they have to back off to
avoid free harass from vladimir.

Well, they did pick TF, and your

readers are relying on your guide
to get them out of this pitfall.
Saying, "Sorry," isn't going to help
your readers win lane; Tell your
reader to buy his own vision so
that he doesn't have to rely on his
teammates. Use pictures to
showyour readers what a "safe
position" is against a misery lane.

I'd like you to go over how to position yourself

in team fights. Twisted fate needs to be able to
avoid getting flanked and instakilled by getting
caught by a tank or an assassin, while still being
able to autoattack as frequently as possible.
Again, use pictures to teach through example.
