Thresh's Lantern

thatchileanguy··1 votes·641 views

Hello, So we all know that the most annoying thing about laning as adc with threshThresh as your supp is not being able to click lantern while the enemy team is standing in front of it. So here is my suggestion: Make THRESHThresh clickeable while his lantern is out, and if youare in range, your champ automatically grabs it. Any thoughts? First post btw.

Edit: So there are thoughts that this is intended as counterplay, but riot has patched the lantern before , making it a solid object, to prevent people from walking over it blocking the click, so if their aim is that the lantern is always clickeable, why isn't this a good idea to full fill that goal

Edit2:Riot's patchnote about thresh's lantern. As they say, their goal is for you to 'click that lantern!'

Giving Thresh’s lantern a small collision radius means that he can’t cover things like minions or wards to prevent enemies from clicking them. Similarly, this also means that minions can’t accidentally cover up a lantern, and that enemies can’t block Thresh’s lantern with a bunch of wards. Instead, Thresh’s lantern will now slightly push units out of the way when it’s thrown on top of them – or if the unit can’t be moved (ie: wards or champions), Thresh’s lantern will land beside them and champions won’t be able to walk directly on top of it. Click that lantern!

Not being able to grab the lantern when an enemy stands on it is 100% intended, its the counterplay to the ability.

no, if they did that his lantern would have no counterplay. my only problem with things like that are the scenarios like with ori's ball where you cant take the minion its over as the enemy, you can just click the ball (think they might have changed that actually)

They already patched it once so it wouldn't be blockeable...edited the post with riot's notes

oh ya I remember now, that was literally right after I had a match where I lost lane to ori because of that XD

id like to see the lantern sap a bit of health from enemies standing on it and/or possibly giving it to thresh as part of the shield he gains from it , also makes sense with thresh's character/theme and would add another use to it and not need a ton of workarounds to stop people from standing on it to block it as itl work as a counter to this counter and scare people from blocking it. Although i do see this as adding something to a champ thats fairly solid with powerful abilities and might be overkill. just a thought i had.
