Is Thresh a bad support?
I told my friend that the champions he played were broken, and overpowered. He then proceeded to tell me that I main, "some shitty support." Now, in most player's opinions Thresh is a great support. I need your opinions.

He's pretty bad.
Bad to the bone.
Huh??? I've never heard anyone say this, he's been top tier for as long as I can remember.
l 0 l, that's why he's picked 1/3 of the games, cause he is bad
You can literally build nothing on Thresh and he would be more of a useful support than many of the other champions due to his kit's utility alone.
Anyone who tells you that Thresh is shitty, clearly doesn't know anything about this game, how it's played or anything going on in the support role.
He is strong.
The people who play him are shitty.
Also he does everything its hard for a random ADC to coordinate with him and predict what he's going to do.
His kit is literally overloaded. There's no other support that offers the sheer utility he does.
Quoting myself from another thread:
Q: Wind up and Hook. Long cast time.
- Can be used to escape over walls
- Can be used to juke an enemy in front of you running, only to hook someone to the side after cast time
- Cast time makes the hooking harder
- Secondary jump to initiate teamfights
- Jump over walls to an enemy to secure kill for ADC (combo with lantern)
W: Lantern
- This is a god move.
- Combo with Hooks to make insane plays
- Save allies
- Provide TP point
- Provide vision
- Let allies close gap fast
- Surprise Jungle Gank
- Collect souls
- Save your jungler after a Dragon steal
- God. Ability.
E: Flay
- Displacement is good on it's own
- Flay towards, sideways or away for multiple plays with allies
- Can displace an entire team
- Auto interrupts channeled abilities
- Provides knockup
- Kiting power
- "Save the carry"
R: Box thing
- One of the most potent slows that should be used in chokepoints to be most effective
- Saves carry and causes havoc when used on an entire enemy team
- Can be a saviour when used right in teamfights
- Makes allies coordinate targets easier with more reaction time and processing
- Escape tool
- Engage teamfight tool
- Mid choke tool
kikus playing elise in lcs pretty much proofs anny shitty champ if played correctly can be good
He's a bit high skill. He feels lackluster if you can't land your hooks, land your flays, Last hit large minions without the help of the Relic shield execute.
But with a little practice, he can make god like plays. And he can do it with very little item dependence.
