Is thresh a noob champ

Yes.

Thresh is an edgy lord champ made for noobs who want to believe they're remotely pro by abusing a champ that was designed to be useful at all times, with 0 risk nor drawbacks other than the standard issues associated with the classes themselves and just outright better than like 90% of the roster by default.

Let's look at his kit.

How about no? So many options on what to do with what situation with what champion and just the variety.

Let's touch on a few.

Q: Wind up and Hook. Long cast time. - Can be used to escape over walls - Can be used to juke an enemy in front of you running, only to hook someone to the side after cast time - Cast time makes the hooking harder - Secondary jump to initiate teamfights - Jump over walls to an enemy to secure kill for ADC (combo with lantern)

W: Lantern - This is a god move. - Combo with Hooks to make insane plays - Save allies - Provide TP point - Provide vision - Let allies close gap fast - Surprise Jungle Gank - Collect souls - Save your jungler after a Dragon steal - God. Ability.

E: Flay - Displacement is good on it's own - Flay towards, sideways or away for multiple plays with allies - Can displace an entire team - Auto interrupts channeled abilities - Provides knockup - Kiting power - "Save the carry"

R: Box thing - One of the most potent slows that should be used in chokepoints to be most effective - Saves carry and causes havoc when used on an entire enemy team - Can be a saviour when used right in teamfights - Makes allies coordinate targets easier with more reaction time and processing - Escape tool - Engage teamfight tool - Mid choke tool

I don't see where you can think he's a noob champion. I listed various uses for each move on it's own. Imagine them in conjunction with every possible champion(s) he can work with and does -- alongside every situation where Thresh's moves have to synergise perfectly with the team or just as a whole within his kit and the enemy. It's massive, the toolbox options he has is centered around disruption and promotes team cooperation with multiple uses and has a myriad of opportunities to junction this while keeping so many options open for what he can, should, and will do in a short time period that determines the fate of a carry, jungler, or teamfight. He's not a noob champion by any means, and I honestly don't see where you would get that idea if it was thought upon. He has a relatively low floor, but a very high cap. This isn't to say he isn't overloaded, but he depends on a team completely.
