Reminder that Thresh is still >50% WR as the #1 MOST PICKED support champion

...after you needlessly buffed him way back in 8.15. https://image.ibb.co/khuVuf/Buffs.png (Before that he was at 49%, despite being a popular pick. Not underpowered in the slightest).

He's getting a nerf, deserved.

I really dont think he is OP .... My personal opinion on him being picked a lot and haching a good win rate is that hes not a simple one type support ... What i mean by this is if you look at blitz .. he grabs you and you could die... thats about it

With thresh he does more than just simple hook ... he has his W to pull anyone out of a bad situation ... good engage and good disengage through E and R

He just simply does more ... i always say why play blitz or leona when you have thresh who offers more at the cost of a slightly weaker engage

He is a tank, he is a CC machine, he nearly unkillable. Why does he need ranged auto attacks? Why does a champion that is guaranteed a kill every time he lands a hook, also need poke as well? Does Blitzcrank have ranged auto attacks? Does any other super tanky CC machine have ranged auto attacks?

Don't forget that he doesn't face the direction where he'll fire his hook during the windup animation. Every other champion that fires a skillshot in a line/cone faces the direction they are firing a skillshot. So why does he get special treatment?

It's stuff like this that makes me lose faith in Riot's analytics.
