...Actually hes probably already stronger than lulu by his stats alone (those stats are disgusting btw)

number 1 pickrate and #1 winrate in the support role by a large margin...

You know what that means right? Prepare yourself for 1 year + more of this guy dominating bot lane because of "hes flashy" "lcs big plays" "hes not completely overloaded though!" because its going to take a leg for riot to give him a nerf.

If fizz or any assassin/adc ever got anywhere near as crazy pick + win/rate stats he has atm they would be hotfixed on spot, but since its thresh you know the deal, the same deal with lee sin.

oh yeah thresh is such a problem with his skill shots, lowest base armor in game and no scaling armor per level and high skill level it takes for him to really effective

thresh's kit is by far the best kit for support, the only reason he's not on top right now is because he's melee

oSEXYPLATYPUSo3 votes

lol he is on top... he has the #1 win rate and pick rate at support [zombie-brand-facepalm]

ScriptBrand1 votes

to be on top is to be good in competitive play also [slayer-jinx-wink]

I mean its obvious, last time thresh was god/top tier he was top tier for like 2 or 3 years straight until he finally recieved enough nerfs so other supports could compete against his kit.

Ok, then tell me. When was last time Thresh got nerfs? Also Thresh win/play rate was unchanged in solo queue in years.

Thresh was nerfed in 4.13 and 4.2. His playrate hasn't changed because Thresh is mechanically fun to play.

lol dont dare offer that is a defensive of a broken champ... i mean why would people not wanna play thresh with his kit and potential when there is raka

people dont get that the fun champs with fun kits are more popular because they are fun ... lee, zed, thresh, and so on

Yep pretty much. tho if his play rate gets to high they will nerf him as they are doing to lee.

oSEXYPLATYPUSo3 votes

if his play rate gets high ? IF ? 34.91% pick rate which is 1st among supports

EmperorPengu1 votes

Compaired to lees 50% that he was sitting at thats nothing ( thought it's still enough that riot should address him)

Why does everyone forget about Karma

She is so sleeper OP

so lets say the gut thresh... and now bard is the #1 support with the highest win rate and pick rate are we gonna cry that bard is op just cuz he is #1?

ChaddyFantome2 votes

given the fact that this mentality is why people are complaining about lulu in the first place, yes. with out a shadow of a doubt.

Saevum1 votes

We can solve that by making two #2 spots:

#2Thresh #2Bard

Look at bard pickrate and look at thresh pickrate...

oSEXYPLATYPUSo1 votes

you missed the point...

my point is NO MATTER WHAT CHAMP IS #1 PEOPLE ARE GONNA BITCH THEY OP AND NEEDS TO BE NERFED

IF URGOT WAS #1 ADC PEOPLE WOULD CRY HIS ARMOR SHRED IS TOO MUCH , HIS SLOW, HIS TANKYNESS ETC BUT CUZ HE ISNT PICKED OR PLAYED NO ONE CARES

thresh has been THE most picked support ever since he was released. He is one of the most impactful and fun supports to play and he isn't all that difficult to learn either. Thresh is not anywhere near the strongest support and will not be anywhere near that if lulu gets nerfed. Sorry to burst your bubble but pickrates and winrates don't tell the whole story

You could say that when he had a 46~47% win rate, not anymore.

A champ with this large pick rate should not have above 50% win rate otherwise it pretty much means everyone and their mother are playing him and doing way better than the average, even with no experience (which means hes broken).

Those stats are ridiculous and you know it, its data that you cannot ignore.

someone is mad because they cannot handle the truth. Sorry but Thresh is not anywhere near the best support atm and he won't be anywhere near the best even if lulu gets nerfed. It is data i can very easily ignore since it is data that tells me nothing at all. Winrate means next to nothing unless you use something actually useful and pickrate is not one of them specially when it's a champion that has had a stupidly high pickrate ever since he was introduced. All it says is that some item has given him some extra strength since he has received ZERO changes in the longest time yet items that he use have changed recently
