Thresh really needs buffs

I mean sure he was a monster before, but now he brings nothing to the table noteworthy other than pulls and very situational peels.

He has a terrible HP pool and a shit base armor that doesn't break even until about 30 minutes into the game unless his team is steamrolling.

  1. increase his base hp. 561 600 (I mean really he has paper armor early he need's some kind of ability to live).
  2. base armor 16 22. 16 is pathetic starting armor and he also gets none per level and his armor is so risky to obtain
  3. Armor/AP per soul .75 .8

These small buffs will actually give thresh a presence in lane instead of having him be Leona's ugly twin that takes 2x the skill. His damage has been gutted and that was all he had before putting him ahead of other tanky supports. Without that he just feels lackluster now and games are going shorter meaning his passive is less and less useful.

They have nerfed his range as well as animations several times as well. I mean he needs something. I run him full tank runes and masteries and he still dies easily.

I mean if you want pulls, you bring Blitz. If you want dives, you bring Leona. Peels are supposed to be Thresh's strong point but he does so much worse than Leona because he is squishier and harder to play. Even a good Blitz can peel harder than Thresh.

Thesh is the awkward middle ground that actually turns out pretty weak. He has no room to carry. He has a terrible early game unless he is fighting a lane that doesn't counter him (the majority of them do).

People that counter thresh because they outclass him: Blitzcrank Leona Braum Morgana

All of them are better. Thresh only brings utility to a damage fight bot lane. And that doesn't cut it especially when he has nothing to defend himself.

He has a 47% win rate and a 1% ban rate. I mean he obviously isn't strong enough to warrant bans very often as much as people sit their and complain about his lantern. I mean Kalista has Thresh's lantern 2.0.

They nerfed it hard. Hell they even nerfed his ult.

And now even braum and Morgana are bot lane meaning that he doesn't really appear all that often because now 3 people counter him. And Blitz just needs 1 pull to make him useless the rest of the game.

He has no sustain all he has is ins. And when the entirity of supports are in supports or heavy peelers he has no place. You can't do both ins and peel with the CDs he has. And his skill floor has been raised extremely high.

I have never seen a Thresh actually carry his lane. But I have seen Braums, Leonas, Blitz, and Morganas carry theirs. I think there is a problem. Why? Because if Thresh tries to carry he dies. But if Leona tries to and just fucks you up its perfectly ok?

I shouldn't have to ban 4 champs to even be able to play Thresh in a safish lane.

Wow, poor Thresh. From the way you describe it, it sounds like he has the same problems as a couple of other supports.

The thing is his overloaded kit is preventing him from getting buffs in any form.

If they do buff him, he'll just return to "release Thresh" and we do NOT want that.

Yeah and we should buff Lee Sin, Leblanc, and Vi.

If he was weak he wouldn't be the most popular support.

"B-but muh winrate"

He was the most popular champion for a while now; Graves recently dethroned him, though.

In LCS, Thresh was picked/banned more than Blitz & Braum, so I say he is still fine

Q- One hook, first blood.

W- Saving the champion or doing a surprise engage is its specialty, not the shield strength.

E- Come here baby, or gtfo my ass kind of thing. Works seriously well with Q.

R- Dat slows omg
