Thresh Skins

I am not entirely sure if this topic has been touched on recently, or at all, so here it is. I believe that Thresh needs some new skins for your everyday purchaser.His current 2 skins are nice, especially his Blood Moon skin. [slayer-pantheon-rainbows]
but his Deep Sea is just not that amazing in my opinion. His Championship skin is what made me buy Thresh to begin with, and I hit Tier 5 with him in no time at all.

I just think Thresh has been rather neglected in the skin department since he has been out for quite some time. Even TahmKench has more skins than Thresh and he was launched just before I joined League. Yeah the Championship skin is epic, but it's a cycled skin. And the Samsung White for the 2015 championships probably won't ever come out again. I don't honestly know.

I just think the legendary Chain Warden is long overdue for some amazing new work to be done with him.

Aside from that, Thresh needs a slight (And I mean SLIGHT) boost to his kit, the skins are something I am extremely excited about. I know a lot of people are interested in a human version of Thresh given the Lore of the Shadow Isles, it would be epic to actually have something like that, and some of the simply stunning and beautiful fan concept art for the 3 skins that people want to see.

So let's see if we can get this going. Thresh deserves some attention.

Thresh Powerful and eternal, Thresh the Chain Warden.

Side note, I really do hope that Aurelion Soul has some "killer" taunts for the Shadow Isle characters. :D

Thresh actually has a ton of skins (4) compared to his release date, which gets even more insane considering the quality of most of them. Tahm Kench has two skins as of next week, so I'm not really sure where you got that from. The esports skins are rereleased at each Worlds. Thresh definitely doesn't need buffs, considering that he is finally not overwhelmingly popular in pro play and Solo Queue. Every champion has cool fan art for skins, so that means basically nothing, and Aurelion Sol does not have any unique taunts to the Shadow Isles, if I remember correctly.

The last skin for Thresh was SSW in May 2015. All Esports skins might go on sale here in May when the next batch are released. If not, they will definitely be out in October which is when the Championship skins also hit the store.

I don't particularly see Thresh getting a new skin before May. Riot gets enough criticism when they release two skins for a champion within a year span (example being Draven with 3 skins since June 2015). But after May, he will probably be back on the list.
