Why did you take away Thresh's long Q cooldown?

I just played a game against a thresh and he just kept being able to hook over and over. I even started to time it, he had somewhere like a 4-5 second cooldown on his hook, may have been even shorter, it's just thats what i been noting about how long between uses.

I used to be able to play against him, I could think to myself "Ok, Thresh missed his Q, I can now get some shots in unless he wants to blow summoners or something."

Teamfight breaks out, he uses Q 3 times within 10-11 seconds, hooking 3 separate people. I'm sitting there dumbfounded.

I been playing since 2009 and thus been playing with thresh since release, the hell is this crap you wrought upon us? Why would you give a hook character no cooldown on their hook!? I have to put him on perma ban status now purely for this reason, now I have to play either morgana or ban him, and that's no fun if that's your only counterplay!

And no I wasn't the one getting hooked, it was my ADC, I even told them use the damn minions for cover, but NOPE. But even the few times he did miss, he would just up and do it again with no window for counterplay. WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS?

He must have been landing those hooks pretty consistently, the cooldown of the hook is reduced when he lands it

Death Sentence

TARGET RANGE: 1100 TETHER RADIUS: Global SPEED: 1900 COST: 60 MANA COOLDOWN: 16 / 15 / 14 / 13 / 12

DEATH SENTENCE: After a 0.5-second delay, Thresh throws out his scythe in the target direction and forms a tether with the first enemy hit, dealing Ability power magic damage and stunning them for 1.5 seconds. Hitting an enemy reduces Death Sentence's Cooldown by 3 seconds.

so lets say he starts with 10% cdr lvl 1 from item 3301 and cosmic insight. 16 sec cd -10% brings it down to 15.4 secs and then he lands the Q reduces the cool down by 3 more secs making it 12.4 seconds . and dont he typically max Q `1st?

so even as you over dramatically state of 3 -5 seconds

he would have to have it max ranked of 12 secs base cd and have 40 % cdr reducing its cd by 4.8seconds leaving it at 7.2 seconds reduced to 4.2 seconds after landing Q **edit thanks to KFCeytron **
