[IDEA] Problem with jungle Thresh

Hello, this is my first post of the forums, and I hope I chose the right section.

I have been experimenting with jungle Thresh lately, and whereas he has a very acceptable kit to jungle (shield mitigates monster damage, hook and flay are great for gank, so is lantern), I can't help but feel frustrated when a player is made aware of my presence by the spawning souls to be collected. It gives off the position and often ruins ganks, making Thresh unfortunatly unviable against smart players (even those who do not ward)

I was wondering if it might be possible to find a way to make souls invisible for some time to the laner, or maybe make the range of the soulspawning smaller? It would be great if Thresh jungle could function properly!

Many thanks, Exalted

While I think it would be fun and fairly viable to jungle with Thresh, at the end of the day he was designed to be a bot lane support. He's given a really great way of scaling armor and AP in exchange for the counterplay provided by the souls; He has the potential to be zoned from his scaling. If a Thresh is supporting, camping out in a bot bush, it is important this counterplay can still be maintained.

It's this reason that I think, unfortunately, the vision of his souls will not change. It is unfortunate, because even as support Thresh I like to roam mid to try to help snowball them as well, and the souls are a dead giveaway to my ganks :(

( I don't know if it is already so ) But why not just make souls invisible if the enemey canot see Thresh.
