could we nerf Thresh W a bit?

I dont understand why it needs to have such a long timer effect, this skill should remains on the ground for 6 seconds, anyone else thinks it's a bit to long?. this skill is one if not the best save skill ingame, you can't block it (just does not work), and it even gives a shield (because Riot only makes champions with 3 effects in 1 skill now).

6 seconds.. why?, why not 2 or 3?, why such a safe skill needs to be safer?, will lowering its effect force Thresh players to need more skill to play him?. no, but it will give people who need to fight thresh a better window to do so, throwing that lantern to early might kill your allys, and that's the point here.

it's not fun at all watching that lantern for 6 damn seconds on the ground, doing dragon or whatever, harrasing, 6 seconds is a very long time to piss off the enemy team and then leave like nothing happend. while that lantern is to the ground you can't even fully commit for a kill because why bother? they will just leave or kill you and then leave (6 seconds is a long time)

his lantern does not have a long cd, because it has 6 seconds active effect, why no one is talking about this?

Thats the idea. His W is supposed to provide an avid escape. His W has a 17 second cooldown though.

Remember when people complained about Vlad's pool being a get-out-of-jail free card? Whenever he makes a mistake in positioning or anything, all he has to do is just press W!

Fizz came out

  • Well, it is just another champ that gets it, people complained like crazy about it

Thresh comes out

  • People praise CertainlyT for his "creativity" with the lantern, even when it is a get-out-of-jail free card for allied heroes, making their mistakes mean nothing and have no punishment against it.

Just shows how time changes. Power creep is out of control at this point, so even something as atrocious as Thresh seems balanced to some people.

Could be a bit shorter, but he needs nerfs on his damage numbers before his lantern's duration (Because for a support that has an insane amount of utility, he deals more damage than a lot of other supports that have less.)

Forget the W, i want his E and ult to deal way less damage. And the E passive to be toned down.

Compare it to how they've nerfed other popular champions.

Lantern should have a 1-2 second grace period reserved for immediate plays.

Thresh is just too present as a support with the ability to flex between being offensive and defensive. Similar to Alistar, you can really just decide how you want to play versus a variety of other bot lanes. I think this is a problem with the current meta, many supports have been left in the dark because they're unreliable against what's in style.

Sometimes its a little bit hard to click right on the lantern in my opinion. But I totally agree with this, they should make it 4 seconds, that would be perfect

since everyone agrees, where is a Rioter when you need one?
