Sunfire Thresh

Please.

I see so many new Thresh players, and you all have this weird obsession with building him tanky. Zzort is a bad choice especially now since ancient coin got changed, but Sunfire is the WORST on Thresh. It offers no cdr firstly, Thresh needs his 40% cdr. cdr is such an important stat on him, I run thunderlords even though I think bond of stone is a better choice. Secondly, sunfire is for champs that are melee, Thresh is ranged. While Thresh aa range feels angrily low, sunfire sits at 400 range and his aa range is 450. So if youre your auto attacks effectively, you will never proc sunfire cape.

"But doesn't Thresh get into melee range when he follows q?"

You're right, he does, but he doesnt want to keep going at them in melee range, he wants to back off to re position himself so his lantern keeps effective and so he just doesnt get blown up. I dont care how many sunfire capes you build, a full team of champions sees you keeping a fight in melee range, youre dead in maybe 2 seconds if youre lucky. Thresh is not built to with stain a constant front line assault. Even if you manage to get a build that does make him able withstand front line conditions, he'll have close to no cdr. He presents zero synergy with top lane cdr items expect for frozen heart, and warmogs. Iceborn is ok but Frozen Heart is better in every way for Thresh

tl;dr Thresh is a ranged support, stop buying melee top lane items on him
