Hey guys, i am Yato, im a high elo streamer usually around masters, my main champion iswith in total over 1.7 million exp on 3 accounts.My most played account is "waifu 4 laifu" with over 1 million exp on twisted fate.currently i stream at https://www.twitch.tv/yatoEUW every single day.currently i am climbing a fresh account to masters all solo the in game name is "TwTv YatoEUW".If you have any question about twisted fate or other champions come check it out and ask me questions in chat or join my discord at https://discord.gg/3bKqtXp. twitter: https://twitter.com/YatoEUW The better you get at the game the betteris for you.is the only champion in the game who can consistently make things happen which give him the most oppertunities in the game to get advantages.For example:the perfect team compostin would:is not a very strong blind pick, the most crucial information you need to pick him is when you either know your own jungler's pick or you know the enemy mid laner.if your own jungler picks a weak early game jungler who doesn't like the gank it doesn't go well with tf duo to's very low early game damage, that in combination with a low dmg early game jungler is a recipe for disaster even if you play it perfectly they won't die often. bad early game jungler's are, karthus]],i mentioned many synergies above, my favorite champions to play with areandavoid bad early game junglers on your side or obvious bad matchups. the hardest matchups areorwhich leaves him in the middle to takewhich he uses quiet efficiently.for a bit more lane control.: honestly i would rarely reccomendd dopa runes except a few matchup due to the immense skill you need to consistently succeed with it, the runes make your spells deal significantly less damage but they give you way more sustain so you can do extra auto attacks every now and then which dopa succeeds in because of his almost perfect lane movements. im a masters player on euw and i can't pull of movements like that in lane consistently so anyone under masters will probably be worse off.there are a few matchups above mentioned where u dont need the movements to succeed mostly because the enemy midlaner is a melee champion likeand a special exception: unlike almost all other magesdoes not rely on either spamming spells or cooldown reduction thus buying aitem likeis not neccessary.for less gold he gets WAY more gold efficient stats and better stats (500max hp is huge for a mid range mage) out ofand thus is buildIn most situations you want to get upgraded boots immediately afterexcept a few matchup where u rushfirst item likeor situatuions where u rush ninja tabi's againstorif your not in any of these situations you will always build yourbefore buying upgraded boots.90% of your games you will either buyor: mercs is usually the best buy buy because as a mid range control mage spells will be hitting you sometime and having the extra tankiness and tenacity will help you survive way easier.: buy there when the main threat to killing you is auto attack based.: buy sorcs if there are atleast 2 people that are one shottable by your combo or when your team is immensely ad heavy. if these boots don't make you one shot someone they are a waste of gold: i only buy [ionian boots]] when i want to get lane control but im not under any killing threat so you just want to permanently shove the wave to get priority.: buy these when the enemy team has 3-4 champions with slows and the other boots aren't efficiently used.these boots will rarely be bought.if the max hp of roa is enough for you to survive the most efficient damage source iswhich you will get most of your games as a second item.the champions i listed as hard counters are hard counters because they forceinto building a zhonya or banshee second item.(90% of the time zhonya duo the and ultimate all in like zed ult, syndra ult,talon ult or irelia ult.the best way to deal with it is simply buying aand using the active at the right time.If you were forced to get aoras second item to survive then you buyIn most sceranio's you haveandas your first two items.if that's the case then think:if you do then consider buildingoras third item.if you dont have trouble surviving the item which feels absolutely amazing almost every single game will be, this will give you one shot burst on squishie targets, relevant damage on high hp targets and most important of all the ability to kill turrets with 5 auto's due to the synergy betweenandif you are good with macro game and understand split pushing and how to use it this is the powerspike that will take over the game withing a few minutes.to keep the huge third item powerspike going as long as possible you need to make the choice:buildbuildif your first three items wereand either [zhonya's hourglass]] orthen decice:if yes, buildif no, buildwhatever is left in the situation that you did not buildits either one of these:if they got magic resistanceif you have you enough damage already and they dont have magic resistancein case they have 2-3 champions that can be one shot by your combo otherwise this is a bad itemif you were force to build all defensive items and a void staff you probably messed up by picking twisted fate in the first place but getat last.is a champion that is a direct reflection of your rank, every single piece of game knowledge is useable with the versatility of his kit and thus immensely rewarding to play.even though he has many counters and is not blindpickable i'd say you get enough information in champ select about 50% of the time to pick him and secure the win with calculated and consistent gameplayI stream every single day of the week at https://www.twitch.tv/yatoEUW, if you have any question about twisted fate or any other midlane related question im happy to answer.twitter: https://twitter.com/YatoEUW Discord: https://discord.gg/3bKqtXp there are many people uncluding me in my discord to discus eitheror other league related questions, or just to talk and mess around.I hope you learnt a thing or two from this guide and good luck on the rift![10.2] had nothing relevant impacting twisted fate[10.3] - nothing impactfull for tf this patch even though any buffs for champions that sort of remove assassin meta champs is good for him (galio buffs)[10.6] tf got a ap ratio buff for red an blue card which is pretty relevant duo to its immense scaling buff but it doesn't change the playstyle or buildmatchup go
