The Card Master has become so overtuned in Season 14 that he can be played in mid lane\u2060\u2014where he usually pops up\u2060\u2014as well as top or bot lane and still record a 52 percent win rate, according to League stat-tracking site Lolalytics. That\u2019s on top of a rising pick rate across the same three Summoner\u2019s Rift roles as more and more players realize how powerful \u201cTF\u201d can be. The main reason for the versatility is because Twisted Fate can very happily build into ability power or attack damage. This means he can fill multiple roles on any team, all while adding a point-and-click crowd-control ability in the form of his iconic Gold Card and pressuring the entire map with his lane-hopping Destiny ultimate. He\u2019s become so strong he\u2019s even bleeding into pro play, with the Card Master already picked 64 times in 2024. That includes four appearances as an ADC and four more in the top lane, and a whopping 45 bans across nearly every League region\u2060\u2014though he hasn\u2019t popped up in China or Korea's top leagues. League players are in an uproar over the mage\u2019s reigning position in the Season 14 metagame too, with many demanding Riot Games \u201cdrop some nerfs on him\u201d as soon as possible. While most agree Twisted Fate is \u201cbonkers broken,\u201d any big changes will have to wait a few more weeks; the League devs are already most of the way through Patch 14.4\u2019s development cycle. That means any tentative tweaks would be tested for the next update, which will go live on March 6. How Riot wants to balance Twisted Fate remains to be seen. When playing with an AP focus, the Card Master builds Rod of Ages and Lich Bane while maxing his Wild Cards ability. In bot lane, he prioritizes levelling up Stacked Deck and rushes to complete Statikk Shiv and Stormrazor. In some small solace, TF hasn\u2019t exerted his influence over the jungle or support just yet\u2060\u2014the mage has been played less than 4,000 times in those roles.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/one-league-of-legends-mage-is-so-broken-hes-taking-over-three-different-roles-in-season-14-including-adc.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1132798"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2076"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1132798"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1132798\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1132810,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1132798\/revisions\/1132810"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1132809"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1132798"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1132798"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1132798"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1132798"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1132798"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1132798"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1132798"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
