Honestly, as much as I hate Thresh being in basically every single game
I would rather face him than basically any other support that frequently. Anyone from season 2 remembers the bullshit was Sona/Janna every game. Taric had a short run. Ali had a short run. Literally fuck Blitzcrank. Seriously, if you asked me if I was faced with the prospect of having to see one support in every single game no matter what, I would select Thresh by a mile.
Don't get me wrong, his kit can be frustrating but there's literally never a point where I face a Thresh and he makes a play and I say to myself "welp we couldn't have done anything about that." Meanwhile, Sonas spammable heal + shield (which is still good, quit acting like it isn't) Janna's everything, Alistars Malphite ult while being unkillable. Blitzcranks's existence. Braum...well he's not too overbearing in lane but teamfights happen and if you're melee vs a Braum, prepare to never be able to move. Same with Naut. Same with Leona. Fuck Lulu no matter where she goes. Taric is binary as fuck and literally unfun to play against. Soraka doesn't exist at the moment because I think she's legitimately the hardest support to play now by far (but heal spammers are still lame).
Like, his damage isn't really overbearing. There's some things I don't understand (like why his hook has to have a fucking stun on it) with him but my god, I never feel like Thresh is nearly as overbearing as all the above when they're good because they're all literal bullshit to play against. So while it is a disturbing trend to see a champion like that in every game no matter what the meta is, I'd live with this any day of the week over half the other bullshit support champions that are point and click 1v2 lol bro where'd your health go shitty designs.
So while this isn't a hail thresh thread, uh, here ya go thresh, here's a trophy for not being absolute bullshit like most support champions are.
is also nice for kalista
again or any hook dependent champ.
being miserable to play against than I do most bot lane supports, but that's just me personally.
would you rather meet my friend tibbers ?
, she does exactly one thing - disengage. It makes her unique as a specialist and gives her extremely clear weakness (literally everything else). I guess it's mostly the hyper-aggressive players that would rather only pick-supports and hard-engage supports be viable or something.
I never had a problem facing even back in Season 2. She has the crystal clear weakness of dying at the drop of a hat if anything touches her. Heck,
made her life hell even back then but for some reason no one played her...until suddenly everybody does. If Sona's Q was a skillshot instead of targeted, would anyone even be complaining about her?
, sorry but this guy gets to have solid engage, disengage, lock-down, a shield, ranged auto-attacks with scaling on-hit damage, infinite armor stacking in addition to his game-warping, play-making lantern?? Does he really need The Lantern, The Hook, and The Box, let alone that other stuff? He'd be top-tier with just the hook and the lantern...
