Thresh Lantern (It's not QQ, just suggestion)

I always hear people complaining about Thresh's lantern being too "Free" of an escape method. So why not add some counterplay or negative side effects?

A simple one would be, when a teammate takes Thresh's lantern, then a line of souls free from it. Thresh would lose souls depending on how long the lantern was.

While a more extreme measure could be, when a teammate takes Thresh's lantern, a line of souls free from it Thresh would lose less souls than in my first suggestion, but the freed souls linger for a split second, and if an enemy champion clicks on it, they also go directly to Thresh. If this happens, all freed souls would be returned to Thresh.

You could even have the freed souls grant vision to both sides for a small amount of time, who knows.

Also, if an enemy could take his lantern that kind of counters the entire premise of the ability. I know you said the souls would only linger for a second, but thats still a lot of time in LOL. Thats enough for a high damage ADC to take the lantern, get a kill, and then keep going. Yes his lantern is a little op, but certain abilities can stop it. Stacking souls is very important to Thresh, and dropping a LINE of souls! Holy crap, thats a serious nerf to Thresh. But i do agree that they should downgrade it a little. Maybe it only gives Thresh a shield? There are a lot of solutions.

The problem I see with this is it takes so long to stack souls, losing more than one or two for every cast would make the souls more or less useless, if you want to get armor and AP with them (I know it helps a crap ton in terms of armor..) So either the Thresh would never, ever use his W unless he was 100% sure his ally would die without it, or he would forfeit his armor and AP; don't forget, Thresh doesn't get armor per level.

did you know if you stand on top of the lantern they can't right click on the lantern and will start attacking you instead because it is blocked by your model?

bad idea thresh is punished with his passive already unlike nasus and veigar who gain power from their stackings thresh regains the deficite he has
