Thresh Animation - Will it be fixed?

BIG DADDY CHAD··1 votes·701 views

Hello, I have been using Thresh left and right and have bought all of the skins I could find... I really want to keep playing this champ but I need to raise concern about his animation. I am not the only one in this, almost everyone I talk to believe it to be a bug or bad design. When playing with thresh, his auto attacks can be canceled AFTER engaged, as in his blade should have already hit, but there is a huge delay. Not only is there a big delay, but most of the time his blade will go in the complete opposite direction of where you hit, but still hitting the target (after the delay). You can hear the auto attack going, but sometimes there will not be any damage dealt. This happens only on Thresh, as far as we can tell. I would also like to point out that maybe Thresh's Q, his hook grab, should probably not have a slight delay before throwing it out... Other champs like Blitzcrank, who also uses a sort of hook grab, just do it immediately (and he even brings champs TO him). All in all, we would really like to see a sort of buff/fix for these problems, it is really starting to make him feel obsolete sometimes. Please help us out, we really want to get this fixed. Thank you! [slayer-jinx-catface]

The delay is fair because the cd and utility the hook offers is much greater than blitz's. Also the fact that it can be cast in a different direction than you are facing.

Blitz's Q can be cast any direction..? I have to disagree on the better utility... It's not like Thresh can instantly pull someone underneath tower and then knock them up... Yeah he can flay them in the direction, but that is nothing compared to a full on retrieval. Alas, that was just a suggestion, the real problem is the animation with basic attacks.

Yes but he can go over walls to jg camps, and can lantern in others. Utility is what can be done with it, and blitz hook does 1 thing only. Thresh can do a lot more when used correctly.

By directional I mean that thresh can be facing the enemy support while winding up his hook, then cast it towards the enemy adc. Something no other ability in LoL can do. Every other skillshot with a channel faces you in the direction you are casting.

As my 3rd most played champ I can easily say Thresh's hook is superior to Blitzcrank's in most situations, especially when you consider that his Q late game can be cast 3-5 times for every Blitz Q. And the CC it offers is stronger for locking people down.

Anyways yeah the auto bug is annoying.

Wind up then cast? You can only hit Q once in the direction and he winds up and does his thing only in the direction you're casting..? He is my main, level 6, but IS THERE SOME SECRET I HAVE BEEN MISSING!??!?! Yeah overall he can be more useful, but I am just talking about the Q... I just want him to be really strong cries Yes, plz let them fix the animations hahaha.

No I meant wind up then cast as a descriptor for the animation he goes through. He winds up the hook then casts it out.

Trust me you don't want Thresh to have an instant cast. He will get perma banned solely for that.

Yeah, i know that... I'm just saying it wouldn't be op to be instant, seeing as he cant bring the enemy to him is all. Anyways, fix the animation plox

Makes him unique, I main thresh and I see nothing in the design that makes my gameplay negatively impactful. As for the comparison between Blitz and Thresh, his flay is the reason why the hook doesn't bring them right to him.
