Riot, you made changes so that people can't stand on it and prevent people from grabbing it, yet people still are able to stand on it and prevent people from grabbing it.
Would it be possible to be able to click on the chain of the lantern as well in order to trigger dark passage instead of just the lantern. Sorta like Bard's magical journey, you can click on any part of the passage and it'll direct you into it. So why not do the same for Thresh lantern?

They specifically designed it so you couldn't stand on top of the lantern so you can use it as a means of escape. So yes, it's meant to be uncounterable, just like zhonya's is uncounterable, just like flash is uncounterable. It's meant to be used as a strategic way of escaping or engaging. If the lantern isn't user friendly, then there's no point to it.

By that logic, thresh lantern isn't part of anivia's kit, but she can still utilize it. My point is that thresh lantern shouldn't be something you can cover up with a character frame, especially since Riot said it shouldn't, but it's still happening regardless.
IcyPepper1 votesWell, I'm going to be honest here:
The lantern should and does have counterplay. Now, I use it like a dirty bastard because I don't like Thresh, but if RIot deemed sitting on the lantern to deny it is unfair, then it's unfair in the same manner it would be to somehow have the ability to cut Tahm's tongue so he can't eat an ally or something like that.
The real counterplay to the lantern is zoning someone away from it in the first place. A Nautilus, for example, can properly block the lantern to delay an enemy long enough to die before they can escape. That's fine. A Sona without her ultimate should not have the same capability just by standing there, if Riot has deemed that unfair.
Now, zhonyas and flash do have some measure of counterplay, and I think this is where I'm getting at as well. It's all about the set-up. Someone in zhonyas can't do anything, so you can set something up like a Teemo shroom to catch them afterwards. If you know someone is going to flash, you can lead the opponent with a skillshot or flank them. Which is fair. Taking away zhonyas and flash, however, would feel like utter bullshit and I think that's where you're getting at.
So I guess while I may do it (because I don't like Thresh), you make a fair point and there are already ways to counter the lantern that are fair enough as is.
