OP.gg saying thresh counters just about every lane, and has the win advantage vs most bot lanes. Lolalytics saying thresh is highest or 2nd highest counter to most pick he recently wasn't close to winning vs.

Did he get buffed recently that I missed? Or changes to items or other champs that put him in such a good spot or what? In other words, anything in particular that people can pin down that's making him such a good pick atm. curious here

His sheer utility and how often he can do his magic is what makes him strong. They're increasing the cd on his q for that reason. He can cast his q in a teamfight 2-3 times.. Should be like 1-2 times now

Thresh is excellent at disruption and basically makes a single person fully locked down and open for bursting with that hook. He's tanky, and scales into late game. The only way to beat a thresh right now is to play the more op Brand, Vel'koz Mage supports, ban him, or hope he's bad. His kit is easy to learn and pick up, though has some skill cap to master since his Q is a skillshot and is super important, but he's such a safe pick.
