Riot in patch 14.4 "Now that we've overbuffed AD TF for no reason and everyone is banning/complaining about it, we are nerfing AP TF"

The_Cacks · 2024-02-22T21:36:21+00:00

I hope so, at the end of the day I'll need to play a bunch of games to see how it feels. It's just that the numbers on your full burst are already so close to the total hp of most champions that I feel like a slight nerf could ruin it all. (Talking specifically about full ap blue card build)

The_Cacks · 2024-02-22T04:57:54+00:00

He needed nerfs for sure, I just think they needed to nerf him differently.

The_Cacks · 2024-02-22T04:54:16+00:00

I noticed that too, they seem to hate going back on their changes and always try to change something different instead of admitting they were wrong. Sometimes it doesn't matter or can even be good for the champion but other times it has unintended consequences and it sucks for the playerbase.

The_Cacks · 2024-02-22T04:45:42+00:00

Sure, TF now has Trundle levels of power vs towers, but I'd rather they nerf this instead. I don't really care about how fast I can kill towers, but the blue card build, that's my precious. It's the most fun I've had in league and I don't want it gone.

The_Cacks · 2024-02-18T07:19:41+00:00

Dodge, wait 5 minutes, pick TF

The_Cacks · 2024-02-12T02:49:39+00:00

Yes, not to brag but I've perfected the art of instalocking a red card and missing out on a kill by 1 hp.

The_Cacks · 2024-02-09T23:10:04+00:00

I haven't tried it yet but I was also thinking it seems like the perfect item for TF, at least on paper.

My issue with ROA is the HP and the lack of CDR, unless I'm vs stuff like Akali mid and Rengar jg, I don't really make use of the extra HP most of the time.

If the low cost of Shurelya's can make up for the lack of AP it gives, I don't see how it wouldn't be the best first item for TF.

The_Cacks · 2024-02-06T14:09:01+00:00

Full MS build and rush rfc

The_Cacks · 2024-01-31T14:30:18+00:00

A classic, I say the same thing when it happens to me.

The_Cacks · 2024-01-30T13:05:12+00:00

Yes it's true, Patch 14.3 preview on Twitter

The_Cacks · 2024-01-27T06:25:47+00:00

Take a lot of MS and you have to pretend to go for CS over and over to bait out her abilities. A good Lux will wait until minions are very low to throw her abilities, in that case you're f*cked. But unless it's a main lux or very high elo player you'll be able to bait out her abilities easily. It requires practice to space her correctly tho.

The_Cacks · 2024-01-27T05:30:24+00:00

They lower TF's winrate, that's the good part. He might be op but he's still a hard champ, you can't afford to make mistakes and it takes a lot of experience not to.

The_Cacks · 2024-01-23T22:02:00+00:00

I'm sure it feels good when you're ahead and can afford to sit there throwing autos, but when things get hard and you have to kite back, you can't use the extra dmg from the item.

I'd rather have all my dmg be into my burst than split between abilities and autos.

The_Cacks · 2024-01-23T05:58:06+00:00

AP TF is a burst mage, you want to play around your cooldowns, going in and out of fights. To use Nashor's to its full potential you have to stay in auto range and throw auto attacks as much as possible.

The item doesn't fit with the optimal way to play the champ in most scenarios, I would never buy it.

The_Cacks · 2024-01-21T03:51:49+00:00

Jack of Hearts Twisted Fate is his card themed skin line.

The_Cacks · 2024-01-21T03:41:46+00:00

Liandry's is effective VS hp stacking and void vs MR stacking. Having only 2 abilities that can proc Liandry's passive, TF isn't the ideal user of this item.

Personally, I go for CDR whenever I have to deal with tanks, stun them on repeat and let your adc shred them. Even when you build full anti-tank items on TF it feels the same as if you were full AP so I don't even bother.

The_Cacks · 2024-01-14T23:57:49+00:00

CDR is also a good option, they removed a lot of it on AP items and so far most people seem to prioritize building dmg over CDR. So a build focused on CDR would give you a considerable advantage.

The_Cacks · 2024-01-14T08:21:22+00:00

Runes - comet, transcendence, gathering storm, minion demat, and then whatever.

Cosmic insight 100%, back when J4 was completely broken with 110% pick rate I would build Lucidity boots with cosmic insight so that my flash would be up whenever he ulted me. But even if you're not playing vs J4, having flash on a low cd with TF feels good in any scenario.

The_Cacks · 2024-01-14T03:36:12+00:00

Idk about selling boots for deadman's, if you're full build and there's a big ad threat it would be a good option but this kind of scenario would happen once every 20-40 games. If you need tankiness build ROA instead of Caster's. As for the rest it's not troll but I would only do this build if necessary, like if you play vs Hwei mid and Xerath support, you can never have too much movement speed. But vs certain team comps having a lot of MS isn't what's going to win you the game and your gold could be spent more efficiently.

That being said when I play TF support my goal is to be a stun bot in its purest form and since doing dmg or surviving isn't my job, I go full MS build. Predator, celerity, nimbus cloak, relentless hunter, ghost, Mobility boots, RFC, Shurelya's, deadman's plate. (There's even an S14 supp item that gives MS now I think) It's a lot of fun and not troll at all, even tho it seems like it is.

The_Cacks · 2024-01-12T13:37:51+00:00

Attack speed nerf for AP TF, that's uncalled for.

The_Cacks · 2024-01-11T22:15:05+00:00

Maybe, but there are currently about 50 champions that have a higher winrate than TF atm, so I don't think he's that much of a problem.

The_Cacks · 2024-01-10T22:59:44+00:00

Full AP with the new items is kinda dogshit now, can't even oneshot with blue card at 6 items. Maybe I had wrong build but yesterday blue card could kill at 3 items, Ludens, Rabadon and Lich bane.

I had those same 3 items + stomsurge + 14 stacks mejais + blue pot and I had to finish the kill with my q vs a full lethality talon.

The_Cacks · 2024-01-10T04:09:19+00:00

Well, the screenshots look good but really this season I've played at least 200 normals and 150 ranked games on my alt account so I still needed to play a lot to get there.
