I find it sort of mind boggling how a champ has become arguably the best character in his role thanks to the sole purpose of being able to move himself, his teammates and his enemies. It’s insane, his hook allows him to move himself and enemies, his W allows him to reposition his allies, his E is great for follow-up to his Q, as a peel tool, or just a simple engage to a skirmish. Of course his ult is among the strongest zoning tools in the game as well, buying his own team valuable space and potentially locking enemies out of a choke point.

@Dingdong2730

Pyke, Rakan, Bard and Thresh are the only real skill expressive supports, which is why most people who actually climb in the role prefer those champs, even if they are not ideal/meta. In general if you are a Lulu, Yuumi or Sona player, you coinflip your team having the better adc and get rewarded for playing reactively instead of proactively, which is 10x easier. There is a bit more skill to engage, but not mechanically, you just need to be proactive and have macro to wins games.

I stand by my statement 8 years ago. Even if Thresh's abilities did 0 damage, he'd still get picked for his utility.

He does have an overloaded kit for a catcher support, his q has a long range and stuns for white a while as it drags you, and recasting it allow you to gap close to flay them towards your team. W is probably one of the strongest basic abilities in league and its defensive and offensive utility are great. I'd say the main thing that defines thresh his kit is one of the best engage and best disengage at the same time depending on the situation

"Oh the eternity we shall spend together."

When you get hooked through 3 Teemo mushrooms.

This one only needs 1 sentence of explanation: Because he has everything, both things needed and things being fun gimmicks. To write it out: His lantern is both massive utility AND fun to use, his Flay is so multi-purpose it´s almost criminal and he has a non-commiting Blitzcrank hook that stuns for longer. His passive soul-collecting feels rewarding to look at, his ult is great at zoning and debilitating enemies and last but not least his E passive, which grants this satisfying one HUGE auto attack after not attacking for a while. In other words, he is legitimately the best support Riot ever intentionally created. And while I believe Braum is the best support thematic-fitting-wise, Thresh is the best in pay-off.

Loved your video! Also adding to what you said about the support role, most people think that a support player is the one that gets carried yet most teams wouldn’t win a 4 vs 5 without a support

For thresh being supportive of his allies despite his character and design is for some reason why i liked him

Thresh is what made me get into league. His design seemed interesting to me. Thresh will always be played because his kit is dynamic and will always work. Even if he isn’t meta he is still playable.

What I love most about Thresh is that he incredibly different from the rest of the supports; he isn't designed to be cute or "E-girly" but as a relentless monster, in fact he is the first scary monster champion that happens to be a support. When I see supports like Soraka, Lulu or Leona I always think that these champions can't really defend themselves not just because of their kit but also their design. But as for Thresh I always see him having the ability to carry for his adc for how versatile his kit is and his appearance backs up the fact he can do it. And he feels really oppressive when you lane against him.

Im a top lane main but whenever im autofilled, i always go thresh. His playstyle is amazing. Beautiful design. Amazing lore. Doesnt have almost any weakness tho.

Really great video as always. Thresh and Bard are just the best supports, there are so many different ways they can play the game

great video - that throwback to Piccaboo at worlds shows why Thresh is the best support. No other support could have done that play

Finally someone makes a video about my precious boy, my main. Another cool thing, Thresh was the first support who was really dark, before tahm kench, pyke and senna, he was the only non-cutsy/goody supp

Hello Vars. I've loved your content for a bit, and saw in a poll you were starting a series called "perfectly designed." May I suggest Rakan? I might be a little biased here because I main him, but I believe I main him because of his great design. Here is a few reasons I believe he is a perfectly designed champion: [1] Rakan is an extremely mobile champion done right. Most players like high mobility champions, but dislike dealing with them. Specifically, because they one-shot you and get away instantly (*ahem* Katarina). Rakan, on the other hand, rarely ever can one shot you, unless very fed while building ap midlane. Rakan's mobility is also tied directly to his team, which creates the challenge for rakan players to keep an eye on their team at all times, as your team is your engage, your disengage, and one of the main ways to hit R. [2] Rakan's kit is lore accurate, and he fits into the lore of League. Rakan and Xayah fit very well in the universe of runeterra, and therefore feel more like a real League character compared to a lot of other new releases, not naming names. More importantly, I believe Rakan's kit accurately represents his lore and personality extremely well. He is a dancer, and while playing rakan, you truly feel like you are dancing through the battlefield, dodging attacks and charming enemies. Rakan also rewards a very high risk high reward playstyle, where if you go in and hit a massive 3 man W and R, you can turn the tides of a fight instantly. However, if anywhere in that process you get hit by a single morgana root, you really can't do much and just die due to rakan's squishiness. It fits very accurately with Rakan's no plan, in the moment style he has in the lore, as with rakan in game, you can't plan everything out. You have to react to where your teammates are so you can E, where your enemies are in relation to your team, and everything in between. [3] Rakan is a unique champion. Rakan's design is unique from every other champ in the game. He plays a role similar to that of engage tanks such as rell, but isn't tanky (unless you build tank but I'll get to that later). Rakan is a hard to kill engage support not because of raw armor and MR numbers, but because he is hard to hit. He is basically a movespeed champion, as his dash's speed scales with his movement speed, and rakan often builds items such as Shurelya's (r.i.p. mythic passive), staff of flowing water, and mobility or swiftness boots. [4] Rakan is versatile. Rakan is an extremely versatile champion that can be played in many ways. Both me and a friend of mine play a ton of rakan, but we play him completely different when it comes to runes and items. Some play rakan with Aftershock and build a mobile engage tank. Some build rakan with guardian and build an mobile engage enchanter style. Some go electrocute in the midlane. He can fit into most team comps well, and build what is needed for his team at the moment. [5] Not many people hate Rakan. Despite being a mobile skill champ, which are often disliked, very rarely do you see people ban rakan or go "ugh, this champion is overloaded." Playing as or against rakan always feels like a skill matchup, and not really that rakan himself is an overloaded champion. Anyways, thanks for coming to my TED talk. I probably forgot a few things, but I feel like this should be enough reasoning.

@AverageVastayanEnjoyer

I just love him because he doesn't require seven fingers per hand and the hand speed and flexibility of a Power Metal guitarist to play. The cool Thresh plays are usually mind games. Lee Sin players have to, like, hit Q, take the dash, put down a ward and W to it to cancel the animation, then buffer the kick and flash behind the enemy for some fancy schmancy compilation play. Meanwhile, I just gotta read someone's mind :>

Thresh is the ONLY engage type support champion that I play because all the others ones bore me to tears lol. Naut, Leona, Blitz all have basically one job but Thresh is so so versatile in every situation that it seems like he was made for my style of playmaking. He's a very safe first pick if you're experienced on him and his potential grows the more you invest time into him. I have most of my points in Soraka lmao, but ever since picking up Thresh, I've realized how game changing he can be. Love this video, what an awesome champ!! :D

Riot games needs to take a long hard look at thresh for their champ design. He is built to fit a class, but not bound to it like how Nilah is made to be an ADC and punished if she isn't (passive) or how Pyke is made to be a support but can't solo lane (passive, q, e). Thresh can go top, jungle, mid and sometimes even crit adc. His abilities are everything you could need but at the same time so simple. Thresh's kit is perfect. His identity is clear and his champion design and lore fit it. He has scaling, a hook with a self dash and 2 pulls, a self/ally shield and ally dash, an aoe multi-purpose enemy displacement in any linear direction and a cage of walls that basically root but are difficult to make super useful. Thresh has a low-medium barrier to entry but an unlimited skill cap. Additionally, Thresh either has no counterplay or all the counterplay in the world. It just depends on how good you and your opponents are. Despite how packed with options Thresh's kit is, nothing is out of place. When you're building a champion, your reason for adding anything at all into their kit should never be "because why not." And to tell if a champion has been built really well, look at their abilities and try to reason their existence as if you were a Riot employee. E.G. Thresh lantern, "so that he can get his allies to enemies that he has captured." Now, try to reason something like Akshan passive shield with his design/identity and you hit a roadblock. Why DOES a rogue Sentinel of Light get a shield when he shoots someone? or Why DOES a marksmen who stalks enemy champions in stealth and bursts them get a shield? It just doesn't line up in the way Thresh's abilities do. So, in conclusion Riot games should do the following to design GOOD champions that will last a long time. - Design them to fit a role but make them flexible and don't lock them to it. - Give them abilities that work with and off each other. Do not load them with tools for every scenario, give them a distinct specialisation and make their abilities fit. - The champion has to have a good design. Lore is often left out of the equation nowadays but champions like Thresh and Jhin really make you feel like an evil terrifying ghostly abomination that stalks enemies and binds them in chains, dragging them to their doom. Or an unnerving, psychopathic murderer with OCD on the number 4 that creates art in the face of death. These things are reflected in gameplay. - Finally, nothing should be thrown into the champion because "why not." Everything, every single part of that god damn champion needs to be intentional, needs to fit and needs to make sense. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

Great video. Are you planing to make this kind of video (Wnop, why everyone plays or perfectly designed champion) for every character in league?

Yep. Been playing basically only Thresh since 2014. Love that dude

When I first started playing, thresh was the first champion that really caught my eye. Of course i was brand new to mobas, so those growing pains were a bit rough lol. Eventually, he became my first m7 champ. The only game merch i ever got is thresh related. I guess i do love him

I FINALLY KNOW THE SONG! But on another note, beautiful video my guy. I now want to dump time into Thresh now.

He has some of the best lines and his laugh it top tier “What delightful agony we shall inflict….”

Climb to silver 3 back in 2014 with thresh and barum. Main bard and shen nowadays. Though tresh still have a special place in my heart

Ooo im hyped for this one but too bad ill be in classes when this premiers

Thresh’s lantern even better then the video describes. The lantern area gives vision, meaning that it can be used as a ward, its best used in the tighter parts of the jungle where you might expect a jungler to be hiding, and from what i know, control wards and oracle lenses dont work on it, but i havent confirmed this but its possible. So you can basically place a short range ward at a long distance, meaning you are much safer compared to placing normal wards. And that sheild aspect of the lantern is also great, if you or a teammate walk into the lanterns circle, you gain a small sheild. Its small but if you are caught with your pants down or is about to get ganked with litte chance to escape, throw your lantern on top if yourself (only if you’re alone ofc). It will give you just that little bit more survivability due to the sheild, i often use the lantern to midigate the damedge a teammate will get if a tower is about to shoot them. Another thing you can do with the lantern is to throw it into a bush in or near your jungle, its hilarious to see two botlaners panic and put it in reverse because they think someone is gonna lantern to you when there isnt anyone there to use it. Its the small mindgames that can really fuck with the enemy team and give them second doubts about jumping onto you. And the ultimate is also a great ”fuck you, not today” tool for escape. If you see both botlaners and a jungler coming for you, just pop the ult so they either have to walk around it or get hit by it and get slowed, either way, you and your teammate are much more likely to survive and you stop the enemy from getting fed.

8:27 the enemy Pyke hooking my 5/0 ulting Aatrox in Q3 animation onto himself agrees xD

Hes a super versatile and skill expressive/demanding support that can adapt to any situation. He enables just about most ADC's, scales late game thanks to his passive, and despite having a high skill ceiling can still be fair to play against after being mastered because hes a support. Thresh is an example of Rito checking all the marks. Meanwhile Irelia still exists who after mastery is a champion and a half.

Can I just say you’ve picked A1 songs for every single video I’ve seen of yours so far. Music Taste: S+

I kinda wish we had song lists in the description

Around the end of the video you mention playing neutral. As a big fan and long time player of smash bros, rivals of aether and other fighting games, it's a familiar term but I don't really know how it applies to league. Considering how in-depth it could be, it would make a great video idea! Love the videos and keep it up!

I hope one day u make a: Why nobody plays: Bard, hope he's on your list!

The box is literally a Veigar E but with no stun, less range, more cool down, the walls of the box disappear when they hit an enemy and the slow is shorter than Veigar s stun. And it's still a great ult.

0:59 So that's why my ADC's flame when "I don't heal them" as Yuumi literally right after I heal them.

i almost didn't realize the FF15 track in the background - - nice touch, sufficiently epic.

After years of playing dota 1 (the warcraft mod) i decided to try league during s3. I got lucky that at that point there was an event with every champion available. tried lots of champions to see if i could find something similar to my favorite in dota (Pudge). While blitz was more similar, the moment I found found tresh, i inmediatly loved it, and decided i wanted to main it. At that time there was no help for new players, so you had to farm the resource to buy it (influence points, blue essence did not exist yet). It took a really long time, but i eventually bought it. So i had 3 champions in my pool, soraka, kayle, and thresh. two costing 450 and one costing 6300 (in today currency). What a weird champion pool i had. The others newbies i played with must have thought i was smurfing

You didn't mention you can throw lantern to grab souls! Great for early game when the minion line pushes up past them and you don't want to walk near. Also great for making the enemy think your stealthed Twitch is hanging out nearby waiting for an ambush and easy escape.

Thresh does say "It's over when *I* say." He's not just a play making supporter, he is *the* playmaker.

When is the video of the Best Abililties for Support coming? I loved that series :(

I just love the voice crack at the start 😆

Thank you. We really need that. TBH Yuumi should disable chat to the player whenever they play yuumi. 2:50

Im a support main and never played thresh in matchmade game and im happy about it :)

I should probably get back into playing Thresh. I remember when I washed to play a more engage support instead of just enchantresses, and my roommate suggested I learn blitz first to get a feel for hooks. Now I'm trying to make a point of learning every champ with a hook. Feels especially good when enemy team bans blitz and I jump ship to Thresh or Naut. Still can't get comfy on Pyke, but I think that's my computer and internet. And I'm more of a macro player cause I lag too much for good fight mechanics.

thresh can do so much things and he is super fun

This is the #1 champion that I want in Wil Rift and the only one that will make me play support lol. I really hope he gets added, cause I might have to actually get a whole PC just so I can play him if he's not in Wild Rift soon enough. Damn this guy is so cool!

When i first started playing i thought he was a midlaner and was old fiddlesticks' brother lmao

I mean ur not wrong

For me personally thresh is like an absolute unit. You can go anywhere. You can go bruiser, tank, supp, assasin, adc, ap thresh even jungle if you are brave enough.

He's the original overloaded character other than maybe also Yasuo, but although he's about mindgames, he's usually extremely "transparent" about what he's doing. He got a good hook, used lantern, timed his E well, etc. Not getting carried by 10 different passive effects. Everyone is "seeing" what's happening and that's extremely respectable. I always said even if Thresh's abilities literally did 0 damage, he'd still be one of the best/most fun supports to play with/against. That's a great selling point in my eyes.

Thresh was my first main. I take pride in my playing.

thank you for inspiring me to return to thresh

I absolutely love Thresh. Definitely one of my favorite champions as a support main. I play him on Wild Rift. Few team mates understand or utilize his lantern, severely hampering the power of one of his skills, but the rest of his kit is so insane that it doesn't hold me back at all. He still has insane AOE lockdown, a long stun, outrageous late game tankiness, and deceptively high damage. It's not rare for me to go roaming in the mid game and solo kill enemies I bump into. Especially squishy mid lane mages, ooh la la how tasty! The empowered auto attack on Flay is huge for early game trades, chunking enemy ADC's. Being one of the few RANGED tanks is a huge advantage that hardly anyone mentions. The armor from his passive makes him the one support where I can actually feel like a mini raid boss by the end game.

That Final Fantasy in the back

He has playmaking kit that stood the test of time, there, that's why

I might go back to league to climb with support. I plan on now playing with Thresh, Pyke, and Swain. Might replace pyke with Rakan but I could just add him as a 4th pick.

Nothing beats pulling the enemy vayne back into the vieg w she thought she dodged with her q

thresh is like the ak47 rifle on t-side in cs...you gotta learn him if you play support !

Thresh is a crazy overloaded champ but people don’t mind because he’s a support. Lantern on its own is just the best supporting ability in the game. Add the rest of his kit which is above average and he is insane when looking at his kit as a whole.
