  • Weak against - any shielding champ (e.g. Morganna) - Her E counters his Q. Her Q is faster than Thresh's and her W can deal slow dmg over time from a distance, Thresh needs to be up in everyone grill for his W.

Strengths:



Over all thresh excels at long range hooking of enemy champs



Due to how long his stun time when he hits and the range of his Q he can output a long range of danger



His w the lantern can be thrown out to grant a shield to the first ally champion in range but more importantly it allows an ally to fling themselves to thresh's location allowing for hard punishment of enemies that thresh hooks



Additionally thresh has a passive that allows him to get armor and ability power for free - meaning he can become tanky easily





Weaknesses:



His Greatest weakness however is how slow his Q hook is (both windup animation and travel time animation) and additionally his hook stops and hooks the first target hit meaning he must bypass minions to land a hook on an enemy champ

    His lantern has a bit of a cast time, making clutch shields a bit harder to pull off. That said, if you can see a gank coming, he can easily help teammates out of sticky situations with his lantern.
