Discuss. The champ is imo obviously overpowered and overrepresented.

Hes been like that since his release. Hes just one of those champion, like lee sin, like riven, like yasuo.

Id suggest you get comfortable with it because its not changing.

Thresh has been overloaded for the most part i dont think theres a single person that can disagree.

This is true, but compared to other "overloaded" champions I don't think Thresh is actually an issue. Yes his kit has a lot of flexibility, but it gives up a lot in return for that. On top of that a lot of elements of his kit are very situational. Unlike a lot of other champions that have been overloaded he actually had pretty big conditionals on when he can use different parts of his kit, so while he can do everything, he can only do a few of those things with each kit rotation. On top of that he is quite CD limited.

He is (IMO) a really good example of proficient at all, master of none. His kit being overloaded isn't an issue because while it can do most things, it can only do a few of them at a time, he isn't the best at any of those things, and it is all heavily gated behind real CDs.

So while he is most certainly overloaded, I think it is balanced.

He just happens to have a really big playerbase because he is fun to play, can do really sick plays, and is the highest skill ceiling support. Plus Madlife made him insanely popular, just like back when he played Blitzcrank.

http://champion.gg/champion/Thresh

has a 49.59% win rate for 18th out of supports

he has a 28.66% play rate

he has the lowest base armor in game which does not scale per level the only way he gets armor is from souls he collects and armor he builds

they already nerfed him alot...

he has a great utility in his kit but none of his abilities are over loaded with damage or cdr. and he cant be the only tank on/for a team comp because of how his armor scales.

Champion.gg is not a good source rofl. op.gg lists him at 32%. Went down from 36%

champoion.gg uses all games from all servers. when op.gg. only uses per region/server

cuz on op.gg.na http://na.op.gg/champion/thresh/statistics/support

has thresh with a 49.3% win rate and a 27.58% pick rate

so it might be different on EUW as compared to NA

but champion.gg uses all servers

Doesn't matter, his play rate is still through the roof.

oSEXYPLATYPUSo1 votes

win rate through the roof being below 50%?

really that is your argument ?

LMAO

What r u on about?

oSEXYPLATYPUSo1 votes

swear you had WIN RATE and you just edit it... be that as it may... he is sub 50% win rate and his play % is always gonna be high cuz of the concept of the champ , he looks cool as shit , has alot he can do with his kit and has some mechanical difficulty to it... so people are gonna be drawn to that...

he isnt BINARY which is what most people cry about with champs being boring

After 7 years, I used to think people would realize that win rates have very little correlation with their strength, but again and again, the "Only has a X% winrate" argument keeps popping up.

*Sigh *

oSEXYPLATYPUSo1 votes

no , it does have have correlation to their strength / weakness. is it the end all be all? no ...

but thresh is far from an issue balance wise...

RcGjWO640w1 votes

I'm not saying Thresh is. He's just as obnoxious as he's ever been, but that's about it. Thresh is also an easily avoidable threat with a hugely telegraphed hook and generally slow animations except for his flay.

I'm just saying that the argument is general is pretty pointless.

Thresh is still as balanced as ever and I don't think he's much of a problem. He's definitely one of the strongest supports right now, but that encompasses a lot of champions.

oSEXYPLATYPUSo1 votes

but he isnt ... the mage support meta has him fawked ... hard....

RcGjWO640w1 votes

Thresh is a lot like Azir where his power is derived from your ability to play him, not from any numbers or scalings. Thresh can deal exactly zero damage in a game and still be effective. If NOTHING he did scaled, he would still be extremely strong.

All that really needs to happen is for Riot to fix his fucking Q hitbox already. After that, like 90% of the problems with Thresh will go away.

Chimp Joker1 votes

Thresh?....OP.......What?.....I mean if the player's ability to land his hook is on point, then maybe, but Thresh? I just cant see it. i will admit that I've seen some Thresh players playing him as the adc. Whenever that happens, I am usually impressed and scared at how powerful he can be. And Overrepresented? What do you mean by that?

KVbqbFsC8e1 votes

Thresh has always had a very high playrate. That isn't any justification for nerfing him.
