🟢 Strengths 1️⃣ Excellent Playmaking Potential ✅ Death Sentence (Q) is one of the best engage tools in the game. A well-landed hook can instantly turn a fight. ✅ Flay (E) allows Thresh to disrupt dashes & stop engages, making him great at both initiating and peeling. ✅ The Box (R) provides strong CC in team fights, slowing enemies massively. 2️⃣ Versatile Playstyle (Engage & Peel) ✅ Can play aggressively with an all-in engage strategy. ✅ Can play defensively by peeling for carries and preventing dives. ✅ His Lantern (W) saves allies from danger, making him a high-value utility support. 3️⃣ High Skill Expression & Outplay Potential ✅ Thresh rewards mechanical skill – a good player can make game-changing plays. ✅ Can interrupt dashes & assassins with E (Flay) to protect carries. ✅ Creative combos with Flash (e.g., Flash + Q, E + Flash) allow for unpredictable engages. 4️⃣ Strong Roaming & Map Control ✅ Powerful roams with his Q engage & W lantern to help mid-lane. ✅ Can set up deep vision with Mobi Boots and control the map for jungle invades. ✅ A good Thresh can deny vision & make picks with well-placed hooks. 5️⃣ Works Well With Many ADCs & Comps ✅ Strong with hyper-carries (Jinx, Aphelios, Vayne) – can peel & reposition them. ✅ Strong with early-game ADCs (Draven, Lucian, Caitlyn) – can engage and snowball the lane. ✅ Works in pick comps and teamfight comps thanks to his CC. 🔴 Weaknesses 1️⃣ Skill-Shot Dependent 📌 Problem: Q (Death Sentence) is hard to land against mobile champions. ❌ Weak Against: Ezreal, Lucian, Zeri, Sivir (Spell Shield), champions with dashes. ✅ Solution: • Predict enemy movement before casting hooks. • Use E (Flay) first to slow them before Q. • Don’t spam Q – wait for the right moment to engage. 2️⃣ Squishy & Vulnerable When Engaging 📌 Problem: If Thresh misses his hook, he can be punished heavily. 📌 Problem: He has no innate tank stats – needs Aftershock or items to survive fights. ✅ Solution: • Engage wisely – don’t blindly throw hooks in fights. • Build tanky if needed (Locket of the Iron Solari, Knight’s Vow). • Play around terrain for safer engages. 3️⃣ Weak Against Heavy CC or Poke Supports 📌 Problem: If CC’d, Thresh can’t peel or engage properly. ❌ Weak Against: Leona, Nautilus, Blitzcrank (stronger all-in CC). ❌ Weak Against: Xerath, Zyra, Karma (long-range poke makes it hard to engage). ✅ Solution: • Against CC tanks → Play defensively, peel for ADC instead of engaging. • Against poke → Buy Relic Shield, play safe until you can land a hook. 4️⃣ Relies on Coordination With Team 📌 Problem: Lantern (W) is useless if teammates don’t click it. 📌 Problem: If ADC doesn’t follow up on Q engages, Thresh’s power is wasted. ✅ Solution: • Ping teammates before engaging. • Use voice chat or pings to tell allies when to take the lantern. • If ADC is passive, play more defensively. 5️⃣ Requires Good Positioning in Team Fights 📌 Problem: Thresh needs to be close to engage, but far enough to peel. 📌 Problem: If caught out of position, he dies quickly. ✅ Solution: • Play front-to-back in fights – protect carries first, then look for hooks. • Don’t engage unless your team is ready to follow up. • Use terrain & vision control to engage safely.
