[Gameplay] Thresh hook vs spellshields

Croaa··2 votes·1,091 views

As I didn't see any changes in patch notes about spellshields (excepted the 7.19 changes that says spellshields cannot block more than 1 spell even if they're hitting at the same time) and I know it didn't work like that in the past, I think it may be a bug. When Thresh lands his hook into a spellshield (Sivir's E, Nocturne's W, banshee's veil and edge of night), it only blocks hook's damage and cc but Thresh can still land to the target. No specific needs to reproduce it, works any time you hook in a spellshield.

I don't know if it's an intended interaction, but if it is, it's a huge buff in Thresh vs Sivir match-up (and any other spellshield even if it's not his direct match-up).

Its always been that way. Its intended

As a huge thresh and sivir player, I can assure you it's been like this for as long as I can remember, so back to end of season 5. This is why a good morgana will always wait until Death Sentence has been thrown out to use black shield so thresh cant use the second portion of his Q.

Sivir is my most played champion in the past 2 years, so I know her shield blocked the entire hook before

Yes, it definately blocked the hook from staying attached in the past.

It most definitely blocked the entire hook. And I read every patch notes, and haven't seen mention of this being changed anywhere

Yeah. It used to mean something being able to use E at the right timing against a thresh, now it means nothing.
