Twisted Fate Mid and Late Game
What Twisted Fate does better or worse than other champions after laning, from this patch's ranked games — percentiles where 100 is the highest of every champion.
Play to these strengths
- Twisted Fate brings crowd control (percentile 78): start the fight or follow up on a teammate's engage.
- Twisted Fate wins 20.7 points more in long games than short ones: avoid coin-flip fights early and let the game go long.
Mistakes to avoid
- Vision is a weak spot (23/100): buy Control Wards and sweep before you face-check.
Playing Twisted Fate
- Coordinate with your allies for the best time to use Destiny to ambush enemies.
- Stealth characters often escape a battle with very low hit points. Take advantage of Destiny's ability to reveal stealthed units to finish them off.
- Twisted Fate is viable as an Attack Damage or Ability Power character, letting him fit on many different team compositions.
Playing Against Twisted Fate
- Focus on dodging Wild Cards early when your champion doesn't have the hit points to afford getting hit.
- If you have low Health, use Destiny as an indicator to run to safety. It will give you a head start in escaping any possible ganks.
