AP TF still isn't too bad, but he's way too squishy and way too short ranged to be in auto-attack range so building him AD is generally bad unless you are resigning yourself to back door duties (which his nerfed ult makes him much worse at). In lane he's pretty safe if you're good at landing wild cards and they hit pretty hard. Once a teamfight breaks out assuming you have any competence at all with pick a card he can put out some good CC as well.

Well, he is an ad carry with an on demand stun, which is nice. But the fact that he has a smallish autoattack range kind of sucks, and the fact that his ultimate used to be one of the best in the game and now isnt makes anyone who played him pre nerf want to cry.

I played him heavily pre-nerf, and he was absolutely insane. Coordinated ganks with jungler post-6 were basically guaranteed kills. Now that's limited to essentially whatever lane he is in plus maybe the lane next to him. His ult is still amazing for doing baron / dragon since you can reveal exactly where every enemy champion is making the decision of whether or not to commit to engaging the monster much simpler.

The new TF is still fine, he's just not batshit broken. I've seen plenty of perfectly good TFs, if not dominating.

He's an AP hero with one of the best burst damage, has sick sustain, decent laning power if you're good with gold + WC, farms well, punches down towers like they don't exist, and still has map control.

People're acting like he's suddenly shit tier when he still has a pretty good ranged teleport.

I wouldn't say his burst damage is that good, it's just that it's long range, short CD, and super hard to retaliate against. You don't pick him to instagib someone, you pick him to rape people 1v1 via gold card -> WC -> duck and weave for 3 seconds -> do it again and to poke stupid long range at towers.

meh, AD TF is still just too short ranged IMO. all the good ones I've seen are still AP.

Well I mean when he comes in and GC + WC you're usually pretty fucked, hahah. I don't think his sustained damage output is too great given the long CDs on almost everything, but from a burst standpoint he's pretty good. He's like Ezreal; get sheen and your burst is sickening. The AP + LB is cherry on top.

What? Long CDs... TF... HUH!?

He has built in 15% CDR with base 6 second CDs on both his nukes. That's disgustingly low.

Wetdream left SK, read if you want to hear a lot of bitching.

this thread also gives you the other side of the story. WD is apparently being accused for hacking and making up stuff.

He also lied about himself leaving SK. He actually got kicked from the team.

Wait, you build him AP? I thought he was a straight AD/AS build.

Hm. I can kind of see WC with big AP being good, but he still doesn't seem to have an advantage over any other AP carry in the game. I don't see why to pick him over Ryze or Annie any day. The stun is nice, but 1v1 if you miss a single Gold you're kinda fucked.

Ninja edit: Not sure if mana's a huge problem with AP TF, if you're spamming WC. Pick up mana potions or just pull a Blue every so often?

Because he's got the teleport, which is still nasty despite the range de-buff, and with Lichbane he's insane. Plus he has fantastic siege, better than I realized because his WC doesn't have as long a CD as I thought, lol.

Edit;
You can build him for damage but as mentioned I think his range blows and he doesn't have the survivability for it. Much better to hit+run with AP + Lichbane.

I think the reason is that you get more burst and dont rely on autoattacking too much with him so you can adapt your positioning better + you deal more AoE damage as well.. You pick him over other AP carries because of his R.
