How to beat Twisted Fate

Common role: Mid

A roaming mage who stuns with a gold card and ganks lanes with a global ultimate.

What makes Twisted Fate dangerous

Twisted Fate picks a card — the yellow one stuns — and his global ultimate reveals the map and teleports him near any lane for a gank. His pressure is map-wide: even ahead in your lane, he'll roam and snowball other lanes. He's about picks and cross-map tempo.

How to play against Twisted Fate

• 1Dodge or don't get hit by his gold card (yellow) — it's his only stun and the setup for every gank. Watch his card-pick animation.
• 2Ping his ultimate — when he ults, he's coming to a lane. Warn your team and back off, and his roam fails.
• 3He's squishy with no escape besides his flash/roam. Dive him or all-in when his cards and ult are down.
• 4Track his roams with vision — deny the map pressure and a TF stuck in lane has little impact.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Gold card is his only stun — dodge/avoid it.
• ✓Squishy with no real escape.
• ✓Roams are telegraphed by his ult.
• ✓Weak if pinned in lane and denied map tempo.
