Lantern clickable by enemies?

I read somewhere some time ago: what about making Thresh's Lantern clickable by enemies? It wouldn't really be a nerf because in order to take away that escape one of your own teammates has to misposition, going way too close to Thresh's CC.

Yet I think it would be a cool interaction option... what do you think about this?

I've often wondered what this would do for the gameplay.

No, thematically it doesn't make much sense, thresh just wouldn't pull you back in, however I do think it should be easier to "block" someone from taking it.

Honestly it could be really troll to do it, thresh could literally help the enemy team.

Well those two TahmKench Kalista already exist, so why not let's make a 3rd?

Riot doesn't care about troll potential,they care about adding new mechanics to the game. See Bard,Tahm kench. Why not thresh?hes already overloaded and the best support,I believe it is slightly gameplay change,but not direct nerf

Only way I see this actually working is not pulling in the enemy who clicks the lantern, but forcing it back to Thresh. And maybe shaving 3-4 seconds off the cooldown.

If he could drag enemies into his team, it would be the same thing as those Blitz players who purposely grab Amumu every team fight.

I already thought about this aswell. His lantern is way too overpowered imo. Making it clickable by enemies would force Thresh players to think alot more about just throwing it somewhere. And we already have TahmKench Kalista Bard Kindred . Let us at least test it as an experimental change on the PBE.

We are missing one of the main troll interactions. Put it close to a kiting/fleeing Enemy Adc and boom free kill when they lantern to your team from under their tower.

THIS is the main reason why they wouldn't add this level of "counter play"....lol

I myself had said this would allow of very wierd interactions as well think Taum Eating Kal and taking lantern your team with a teleporting shen onto him...

I do not agree with this. Low mmr smurf accounts adc's will never grab lantern and I am left to cleanup. However. In the case scenario an enemy vayne were to grab my lantern what could I do...
