Now that Jhin has a 35% play rate, can we talk about Tresh' consistent 32%?

This champ is pure cancer to face, even more so than Blitzcrank. Not going to get into the whole discussion as to why hook mechanics are toxic and overly punishing, but let's talk about Tresh.

Tresh is literally a CC bot. Once hooked, you will never escape. Is he overpowered? He might be, but that's not my main point. My point is that this champion is present in 1/3 of all games. That is beyond stupid. Something is inherently wrong when a champion reaches that kind of play rate. Need not look far to see that Lee Song was stupid as heck (still is). I remember reading somewhere that Riot considered it problematic when a champion reaches above 10% play rate.

So Rito, you either need to nerf Tresh so he isn't present in literally every freaking game, or you need to change his kit. Facing the same champion every game is one of the main complaints I see on these boards, yet Tresh somehow goes unnoticed despite having a beyond ridiculous play rate and cancerous kit.

the problem is other supports are boring to play

leona is the true cc master, its not a numbers thing, its just how the abilities work, thresh is in the same situation

Jhin's approaching 55% tho.

Remember, Riot said Champion.gg is really inaccurate compared to op.gg.

https://na.op.gg/champion/jhin/statistics/adc 54.5% pick

http://champion.gg/champion/Jhin 35.5% pick


Not only that, but if you look at his 'winrate by game time' he doesn't have any weak points. He seriously needs nerfs, and not just to lethality.

Thresh is played a lot because he is fun to play and many people find him very a diverse champion with his anti-dash abilities, you can play him a lot and you won't really get bored of him because there are so many plays you can make with him. Majority of support champions are boring as fuck to play.

He's fun to play, I get that. Is he fun to face though? Heck no.

if you think thresh is unfun to play against then other linear point and click support champions like janna leona soraka alistar are gonna give u cancer.

thresh is the only enjoyable supp both lore and thematic wise when autofilled as a non support player.
