Can we nerf Thresh please

I can't think of a single support with a more loaded kit that Thresh. He can engage further away than any other support, cuz 1100 range hooks, and he's almost guaranteed to have follow up since he can pull an ally to him. In addition to this, he's almost impossible to kill because of all the free tank stats he gets throughout the game. There's a lot more I can say about this champ, but we all know what his kit does so I won't bother. Thresh simply has way too much safety (both for himself and his ally) in his kit.

Thresh already has the lowest base armor on the entire roster. His stats in the early game are pitiful and his cooldowns are all ridiculously high. It isn't until mid-late game that he "rears his ugly head" and starts hooking everyone and everything with a 5 second cooldown (if you maxed CDR) and even then, he still needs help to really do anything.

He has so much damage in his kit he doesn't even need his allies lol. In terms of damage, safety, and utility, there is not a single support in this game with a more loaded kit than Thresh. He has better engages than any other support, and he scales better than any other support.

No, he really doesn't. He is the ONLY Champion that has zero base armor scaling and, and!, he also has zero MR scaling as well.. His base armor at level 18 is...wait for it...16! He NEEDS souls to function, and if you can starve him of his resource (which isn't hard), he goes nowhere.

His base damage is marginal. His bonus E damage is helpful but not extraordinary. On the "Ranged" list, only Urgot and Graves have a shorter AA range than Thresh. His Base AD is also bottom 5, and as a Support, you don't build AD. His entire kit revolves around initiation and lane dominance.

If you got whipped by a good Thresh, sure, he felt OP. The same is true for every single champion on the roster. But Thresh is already pathetic, statistically.
