@Meddler, are any SOLID nerfs planned for Thresh right now?

He is NOT in a good spot when he's picked in upwards of 40% of games and still has a 50%+ winrate. On top of all the utility and scalings that are mashed into his insanely overloaded kit, he is able to solo fight a fed ADC because of his Q + AUTO + E + ULT combo dealing 1.5k damage.

On top of that, ADCs can not win lane anymore without a thresh. They rely on the Lanterns, Pulls, Flays, 99% AoE slows, Infinitely Scaling Armor / AP, and Passive Poke to simply last hit the enemy ADC / Support and get fed off of that. You want diversity in the bot lane? That will NOT happen until you significantly nerf this champion. He's been an incredibly solid pick for 2+ years now, INCLUDING professional play.

Do you know why Morgana is in a good spot right now as a support? Thresh. Each side will try to pick thresh if they are forced to support, and if they don't get thresh, they simply think "Oh, we're fucked. Better pick something that might counter thresh so we stand a chance!".

EVERYONE is getting sick of this champion still being in the spotlight. Please nerf him significantly not only to reduce his immense power, but to let us see something else each game.

Whoa man honestly I don't understand what your talking about, Thresh is pretty obvious on his wind up and its a pretty narrow hit-box in my opinion, i don't think its really a champ that isn't really overpowered but its just the look it gives.

i don't think you realize how easy it is to win a lane right now with janna/ali/blitz/braum as your support due to them being cancerously rewarding for how braindead easy they are to play. Thresh and bard are the only supports that actually require a thinking brain.

too bad people are going to upvote you due to the sheepism effect.

I disagree with you a bit about the power. Aside from the lantern denying me kills all game long, I'd much rather be against a Thresh than a Leona/Braum (and don't get me started on Tahm Kench).

That said, for the sake of diversifying bot lane, I do agree that Thresh is really popular at all elo's and has gotten tiring to play with/against. I'm all for bringing him out of the spotlight for a while. He doesn't see nearly the QQ that my main (Jinx) does, and yet Jinx wasn't the staple ADC pick when I started playing in S4 (Lucian first, then Tristana were the power picks) and Thresh has been widely considered a top/god tier support the whole time.

Why does everyone always feel the need to lie about stats to prove their point? You purposely try to mislead people and make it sound likes he has a 53% winrate or something when in reality his winrate is BELOW 50% on all the popular sites

I think thresh is in a good spot.. going off your numbers.. 40% pick rate/50% win rate.. you want him at what? 45%, lower? Like the other guy said.. his Death Sentence is easier to dodge that Blitz pull. he cant pull you through walls like blitz. He does have a nice kit, but learn to counter play him a little before begging for a nerf that makes him unplayable.
