1.) Champ could have been CC'd 2.) Champ's motion could be body blocked or minion blocked 3.) Champ might have died before they could click on it 4.) Actual lantern could have been body blocked or minion blocked

And most importantly

5.) You could be absolute garbage at throwing thresh lanterns! 6.) You could have walked out of range before the champ could get the lantern! 7.) You could have thrown the lantern AFTER the champ was dead!

Yeah, but usually it's the person not grabbing the lantern. Hell, I've played this game for years and even I 7 times out of 10 forget to grab it. Something about being in panic mode makes my small reptilian brain not notice the small circle while all these other particle effects fly on the screen.

I read “17 times out of 10” the first time round and was so confused lol

That sounds pretty accurate as well.

Another issue with tossing the lantern is that people often throw it at an ally's current location, rather than taking into account their movement and reaction time. By the time they notice its existence and want to consider using it, it's a few Teemos in the wrong direction and they can't afford to make a U-turn straight into the enemy team. Lead your target a bit.

As RekSai MY Minion block to click on Tunnels needs to be removed.

Hell even enemy minions. If I click Champ only I should be able to click my stupid Tunnels.

my friend play thresh and our biggest problem is when his throwed lantern is blocked by minons or enemy champion leaving me unable to click on it or throwing it behind me when we are running for our lives :D

Lanterns are for getting souls without walking up to them, not for worrying about that stupid leech taking all my cs in bot lane

This post is the complete opposite of how this actually works. -.- I’ve had junglers flash into my lane instead of taking the lantern to get in just as fast and in a better position.
