I don't know if Thresh is OP, I have a hard time considering him to be OP TBH..

But at the same time, there's something to be said when a champion is in every single game in one particular role. It's not like supports as a class suck because they don't - they're pretty good. And even if they did, it would all be item related because supports have a lot of high base utility spells and impactful spells in general because they're a class designed to function on little gold, typically when a certain support character is weak, it's because of itemization. So thresh would suffer from these same problems considering that.

I don't know guys. I just have a hard time explaining how thresh is balanced as well. When Renekton was in top lane every game for 1 1/2 straight, we lost our shit. Same with Maokai, most people got tired of it. AP Nidalee for 2 years straight until her rework, we lost our shit. Lee in the jungle forever, people lost their shit. I don't understand how thresh automatically bypasses this considering he does bring everything to the table short of sustain and burst.

I don't think he's OP as in he's pick/ban and because of his existence, he simply wins games on that alone. But I do think something is wrong when he's literally in every game since he's been released. Idek what I want done about him, I don't think he needs nerfs either. But god damn; 3 years straight in every game? Somethings up.

But you could fix the wonky ass hitbox on his Q

He's not OP, he's just overloaded.

He's a Blitzcrank who can hook an ally and slow people.

He's also really rewarding to play and feels impactful with the right plays. And all of his abilities center around positioning.

Position control is very powerful and arguably more useful then healing.

Is this because of my earlier thread? My answer remains. Buy item 1001 and walk unpredictably. His kit, thematically, is actually a lot like Vayne's. Punishment. Punishing your opponents mistakes. Walk in a place Thresh knows you can't dodge (the little wedge between the wall and a turret for example), hook. Walk directly next to a wall with Vayne around? Condemned. I support and AD against Thresh all the time and I can tell "this Thresh sucks" or "this Thresh is amazing". He's also punished for his own mistakes, like Vayne.
