Thresh. First, he is green. Secondly he has a sickle and a lantern. Lastly he is green.

Well, can't argue with that.

ok comes down to peel vs. engage. Thresh can peel really well and Leona can engage really well. It comes down to your carry and teamcomp. Can my carry follow up with engage (graves, ezreal, cait, corki) or do they need peel (ashe, mf, varus, jinx).

+1. I enjoy the disengage champs. Nothing quite like it when my adc (finally?) takes the lantern and rips away from a 1 on 3 sure death.

Thresh is not as hard engage as Leona but his E is a real poke and Q+E+R should be either a death or a peel every time. (A small piece of me dies when it isn't.)

Hi there, i'm a leona main myself and it really depends on who your facing with, team comp, how you play and your adc..

leona is the all in type and where once you land your e, everything else will follow through but this goes the same as thresh but with less combos lol..

Also i personally feel that leona is just a bit tankier that thresh is, i get to try thresh last week and he was pretty decent also but doesn't feel like my playstyle..

mana issues are the same with both of them though, spell cost a lot to cast so be warry of that.

i can't explain much since i'm at work lol, probably get back to you later

Thresh is a lot less tanky.. he is "ranged" and he has nothing like Leona W making him more tanky.. but in return Thresh can do things without going in and is a lot more useful while behind (Leona can be so horrible when behind)

Though Thresh is more versatile in that he can do things without going all in... like harassing with auto attacks and denying engages/gap closers with his E (knock ups and knock backs OP)

Thresh is the jack of all trades master of non.... he is decent at engage and disengage with some harass in his auto attacks empowered by his E... but in most specific things there are others who does the job better

(And Thresh positioning can vary... his skills says that he should be in the front to be able to hit anyone with the short ranges on his E and R.... though his W is better at protecting and saving people if he hangs back... while Leona is pretty much always on the front lines be it engaging or peeling)

personally I like leona more, but thresh has more tools available so it could be argued that he's the stronger support champ.

I would say that Thresh is a lot more versatile and that he has better utility (but at the cost of durability and damage when compared to Leona) Thresh lanter/W is unique and can be incredibly strong... if your allies take them and don't mess around with them.... (I remember the times when you could take the lantern while being snared... that was so silly... oh amumu ulted me... no worries I will just take this lantern and i will be safe) Thresh can kind of do it all... jack of all trades master of non

While Leona can only engage and go all in but she is the one that does that the best of anyone she has excellent durability (with her W) and good damage and lock down (her passive deals good damage and she has good base damages)

Thresh can become useless if he falls behind is the only issue with him. Braum is good if you are thinking tank support, very strong pick overall as a support.

Leona.

Her ult is better in my opinion, plus you can have fun with her and try different roles (thresh can go almost anywhere alright, but Leona makes a monstrous jungler in the right hands).

I've played both. I have more fun with Thresh, although he isn't as tanky as Leona. I just build Thresh really tanky with no damage items.

Thresh is easily one of the best supports in the League. His kit is very unique as it is a melee while his autos are ranged, this allows for the very versatile plays you can pull off. I personally suggest thresh for this reason, and he can be built just as tanky as leona, and I think you will have fun.

Why choose? They're both great. Master them both. It's not like you'll be able to reliably take one of them in every game. They're both high pick candidates.
