Twisted Fate has been playing with a stacked deck, so we're looking to bring him back closer to an even playing ground.

Twisted Fate's buffs from last patch overshot our goals and now he's arguably the strongest mid laner in the game. We're happy that TF has his time back in the sun, but he's currently too dominant, so we're walking back about 1/3 of the power we gave him two weeks ago.

Twisted Fate has been sporting very low presence in all levels of play this year, and we think a bump in power alongside the recent Unsealed Spellbook changes could make him an interesting option for pro teams. We’re increasing his attack speed gained from Stacked Deck and we’re giving him a lower cooldown on his global teleport to give him some more uptime on the map.

Twisted Fate has been on the weaker side ever since the RoA changes, and these changes are targeted to help his early game and his wave clear break points.

We're giving Twisted Fate a bit of juice as he's been bricking for a long time now. Since he's such an attack-heavy champion, even for a mage, he has no choice but to draw minion aggro pretty consistently. We'd like him to be able to play out those trades more favorably on his terms, so we're giving him a little early armor to brave the minions.

Now that the dust has settled on AD and AP Twisted Fate, we’re pretty happy with where AD has landed as a playable alternate build with situational viability. However, AP Twisted Fate is just a bit below what we think is an appropriate power level. We’re playing up his first-maxed ability when playing AP to give him some more wave control and general damage output, even if he’s not snowballing.

Twisted Fate currently has two strong builds and roles, with top being slightly stronger. We're tapping down both roles slightly, with the nerfs skewed towards top lane, specifically around how he'll have to manage his mana by having to use more blue cards.

Twisted Fate's continuing to soar up the ban rate charts while being a top performer, even with the recent nerfs. Ultimately, we want to ensure AP Twisted Fate is the stronger way to play him while also getting AD Twisted Fate into the “viable” category of champion builds. But at the end of the day we don't want AD TF to be stronger than other champions in their respective roles.

Twisted Fate's update from 14.2 has done wonders for revitalizing his player base, having about three times as many players than before the start of the season. However, he's also dealing more damage than before and his opponents have begun to take notice. We don't think he's significantly over the line, but both his AP and AD builds are performing a little stronger than they should so we're stacking his deck a little less.

Twisted Fate hasn’t been doing too hot in solo queue and hasn’t really had much presence in Pro play, so we’re looking to tilt the odds in his favor a bit more. With this buff we want to increase the amount of individual power in TF’s kit by putting more damage into his Q which he heavily relies on, especially during later stages of the game where he can't walk up to his opponents too closely. Gone are the days of being memed as a yellow card. Poke TF is here!

Twisted Fate’s been drawing quite a few of the wrong cards recently, and he could use the odds being a little more in his favor. Lowering the cooldown on his W should give him more opportunities to draw what he needs and put more pressure on his opponents early.

It’s been a long time since we last buffed TF and even then he hasn’t been lucky enough to be drawn in Solo Queue or Pro Play. We’re giving him a bit more freedom to let his cards fly wildly while putting a bit more oomph behind his Red and Blue cards so he can leave his opponents looking more black and blue.

Despite having an entire deck of cards (okay, only 3 but still), Twisted Fate is forced into drawing blue cards a bit more often than we'd like. In order to help him diversify his draws, we're relaxing his current mana restrictions so players can feel more free to play around his harder hitting red and yellow cards.

Twisted Fate seems to always have the right cards in Pro play with his global power and consistent CC. We're cutting into his abilities' base stats so he has to buy more AP to dish out big damage instead of opting for his usual utility builds.
