The Hook That Nobody Escapes: The Story of Thresh

In League of Legends, support players fight an uphill battle in a thankless role.
Their job is to protect their AD carry during the laning phase - literally, to make someone else look good. And they sacrifice farm, and sometimes their own lives, to make that happen.
But there’s a champion that shows everyone, including the fans, that support players aren’t the weakest link. He may not be focused on healing or defending allies. But support players who pick Thresh can still win.
Because when you have a hook and god-like reads, everyone on the enemy team is already dead.
They just don’t know it yet.

Thresh is one of those champions that i'm always happy to see when he is played in competitive (or in soloq). He has a really high skill ceiling so a good Thresh will be able to pull off some seriously amazing plays but he doesn't feel unfair like other champions. If you die because the enemy Thresh landed a hook and then followed it together with his adc you know that it's your fault, same if you try to jump\dash away but he stops you with his E. He is just one of the best designed champions.

there is just one main reason why thresh is one of the most loved hook champion, he has the option whether he wants to commit to the fight or not, i mean if a nautilus or a blitzcrank uses their hook on a fed enemy, its a huge mistake, but if thresh did that, he can feel free to not press Q again to commit to the fight so there is no mistake

Thresh has been my favorite support since I’ve started playing league. The ability to make great plays, reading your opponents, saving your teammates but you still need a lot of skill to play him perfectly. I absolutely LOVE it ❤️

@lordpaulphilippfernandez9904 3 года назад

The reason why he's my favourite is that he's never truly OP or braindead like the other supports that we have. You need skill in order to maximize his potential, so if you got hit by his hook, you wouldn't say things like that champ's broken or he's too OP (unless you're a noob who loves to blame his mistakes on the characters you're playing). Instead, you would say that "Damn, that thresh is good".

I like how Thresh's hook is the only thing he's famous for when the lantern is singlehandedly the reason he's been overpowered for his entire existence "The champion's kit was built from the ground up as a support" No, that's not correct. Thresh was originally concepted as a fighter. That's why it's his secondary role.

Have to love the modesty and humble words of Mata, that he has to earn the skin, and not put his legacy to shame.

One of the most impressive comebacks, all thanks to the support stepping up and carrying his team to victory.

Thresh in my opinion has the best kit in all of league. All of his abilities work so well together as well as having high skill expression. He feels fair to play against and has stood the test of time with being a fairly old champ that is very popular.
