AD Thresh needs a nerf.

2500+ alpha damage while building glass cannon with 150+ armor. How is this fair? Edit for clarity: ~350 AD + crit/Flay/Muramana/Sheen/Shiv. 5 OHE's rolled into one giant ball of stupid.

I was playing Shaco against this Thresh. After about 30 minutes, I couldn't get anywhere near him because if he tagged me, I was below 20% health. Endgame he was one-shotting me and I spent more time waiting on my respawn timer than playing. 2100 hp, 90 armor, and whatever Shaco's base MR @ 18 is.

There needs to be some way of nerfing this because that's just stupid. I can't assassinate him because he's got 3k health and over 150 armor, and he can one-shot me. I'm all for diversity, and seeing an AD thresh is funny every now and then, but it shouldn't be THAT strong by any means.

Something along the lines of being unable to trigger on-hit effects on champions while his passive AA buff is available. Or making that effect part of his passive, replace his AA damage, and make it unable to crit.

WTB counterplay.

...You're Shaco. He's fed.

Fucking splitpush.

Saltykracka, splitpushing doesn't do shit when the Thresh can one-shot your entire team.

I think armor may have helped your situation a little bit. He didn't have a black cleaver, last whisper, or even ghostblade. I wonder how much a thornmail would have returned damage and reduced it by.

Just for the lulz I tried AD Thresh in a custom game against a Lucian and... to be honest, I don't get the hype.

The damage I was doing wasn't really unexpected for an ADC, and it was noticeably less than a champion like Tryndamere.

Can someone explain what makes AD Thresh so hilariously strong if it gets going?

You can't beat AD Thresh as Shaco if equally farmed except when both have 0 gold. You failed to shut him down and paid the price.
