Why does Thresh get some cd refunded when he hits his Q?

I know you want to encourage him to keep landing hooks but c'mon. It makes it seem like there's no downside to Thresh cause you'll always have something up.

It used to have an overall shorter cooldown, so they made it higher and gave it a little refund so it punishes bad threshes

so in this case the cd refund isn't a bonus for thresh players but actually a nerf

Because Thresh is Riot's pet support, created by their golden boy CertainlyT, against whom no bad words may be said. He's not allowed to be anything less than the strongest support.

Janna outshines him at cancelling hard engages.

Thresh outshines her in everything else.

Janna received quite an impressive amount of nerfs in her existence, check her patch note history on Lol Wikia.

Janna was nuked out of existence (in competitive play) in mid season 2 after her hardest nerfs (R knock back nerfed + E steroid tied to the shield) and only came back during the worlds last year.

Thresh outshines Janna in EVERY category except mass disengage (and even then, The Box makes him one of the best at stopping those) and steroids for the AD. And thanks to Dark Passage, Thresh is better at saving a single teammate who's been caught out than even Janna- who needs to peel when you can just instantly carry a teammate 1500 units to safety? Janna doesn't even BEGIN to compare to Thresh- she's strictly a meta-determined or counter pick, while Thresh is ALWAYS and FOREVER a strong choice, since he has absolutely no weaknesses at all.

His hook has a wind up time so you have plenty of time to dodge it. It's not like he's hitting you with a bs blitzcrank grab and getting cd on it.

It's a 3 second difference? It's not like it's that significant.

It can mean alot of difference mate during most circumstances, I mean if not shaving off seconds of abilities were not important then why do we have CDR?
