just wanted to write this post, Blitz and Thresh are "the same champion" to most players while considering Thresh to be a better version of Blitzcrank my goal is to shatter this thought and show you when you should pick one of them as a blitz main, and a thresh main

Blitzcrank -insane burst -more reliable engage than thresh with bonus movement speed+instant hook -way more tanky with mana barrier+base stats in early game

Thresh -insane cc -insane peeling -lantern -less reliable engage

thing is when you look at this list, at first you would think that thresh is a better blitz, but it's untrue blitz's hook is a billion time more powerful, it goes through walls, it's instant, and more importantly it hooks someone right on top of your team Combine this with a really good tankiness, blitz is able to lane bully really hard While thresh gets often poked down by ranged supports unless he manages to outplay the enemies and land a hook

Thing is, Blitz is only relevant if you're able to burst the target you hooked right after to prevent them to flee

If you understood all of this, you should understand when to pick blitz and when to pick thresh

your adc is MissFortune Lucian Draven -----> pick blitz enemy support is Janna Sona Soraka ----->pick blitz

however, blitz has a dog tier level of peeling, so if you feel like you need peel and your adc will be in danger you should pick thresh

DO NOT pick blitz into braum/tahm kench/alistar or things like that you will be useless as they will bodyblock your hook DO NOT pick thresh into poke lanes like Jhin +Brand , seriously don't you will be outranged, poked down, and bursted down because thresh is squishy as fuck in early game

special moments where you can pick thresh: JarvanIV Kennen Rumble Zyra Ziggs MonkeyKing Nunu Braum Anivia Singed Trundle those champions have interesting AOE abilities that get countered by lantern use lantern on an ally to help him to get away from the AOE

Sincerly, a Blitz and Thresh main [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

I've always felt it as:

Are you playing the champion for the hook? Blitzcrank. Are you not? Thresh. Are you not Support? Nautilus.

Thresh's hook is honestly more of a long range stun than an actual hook anyways as they don't just get pulled an incredible distance towards you. Meanwhile Blitz can pull someone to your exact location from a mile away.
