1. TF Rune Settings and Why He's Tier 1
Introduction to Kleptomancy TF rune settings
The ultimate nerf isn't significant, and he can still be used as a Tier 1 champion.
If the opposing mid-lane champion has slows/CC, it's good to take the Unflinching rune.
The reason TF is Tier 1 is because he can easily create level 6 roaming opportunities through Bone Plating, Unflinching runes, and buying two Ruby Crystals on the first recall.
2. Mordekaiser Matchup: Lane Management
Don't push the lane too much against melee champions (Mordekaiser).
It's good to intentionally pull the lane.
Pushing the lane makes Mordekaiser uncomfortable.
3. Early Game Management and Roaming Prep
Double the wards
Buy two Ruby Crystals after the first recall
Push the lane and clear minions with Q skill and Blue Card
Check ward locations and look for roaming opportunities
4. Bot Lane Roam and Spell Usage
Interrupt Mordekaiser's recall
Check the map and roam bot after gauging roaming opportunities
The first roaming spell is Flash, then change to Ghost for roaming
5. Teleport Usage and Item Build
Joining fights using Teleport
Using Flash, Exhaust
Prioritize buying AP items (one-shot minion clear)
6. Ghost Roaming and Lane Management
Look for dive opportunities after pushing the next lane
Roam using Ghost when ultimate is not available
Safely clear the lane and check if Teleport is available
If the opposing mid is easy, pick first to give the team an opportunity to choose advantageous champions
7. Advantages of Picking TF First and Team Composition
TF is less burdensome to pick first
When playing TF in flex queue, ask teammates to pick fight-oriented champions (ex. Rell, Nautilus)
8. Early Laning Strategy
Check Raptor ward location
Attack minions first to bait out opponent's skills
Pretend to last hit minions with auto-attacks to bait out opponent's skills with Q
9. Recall Timing and Item Selection
Recall after clearing the lane to buy Catalyst item
Two Ruby Crystals greatly increase survivability by increasing health
Be careful of continuous poke when facing Vladimir, use Q skill for farming
10. Orianna Matchup and Spell Swap
Poke Orianna while last-hitting minions with Q skill
Swap spells to Exhaust or Ghost depending on the situation
Be careful as Orianna is very strong when she gets Lost Chapter at level 7
11. Roaming and Item Build
Roam after clearing the lane
Prioritize buying AP items and then swap to Ghost
Use Ghost since Viego hasn't grown
12. Mid Game Management and Spell Swap
Utilize freezing situations
Prepare to defend mid lane after recalling
Prioritize buying AP items, consider shoe options (Swifties vs CDR boots)
Consider swapping the next spell to Heal since the opponent lacks CC
13. Teamfight Positioning and Management
Protect the ADC in teamfights
If damage is lacking, ask for mid push support, just show yourself pushing behind the ADC
14. Game End and Feedback Request
