One of or the WORST match up for Thresh in the game. He will most likely always turn your engages against you and punish you for it. His shield will block all of your ADCs damage. Recasting your Q onto Braum or the enemy ADC will be a death sentence for you.
Zyra
Very hard match up for Thresh if it's a good Zyra. Her plants can block your hooks and she also has tons of poke. She can easily turn fights around too. Also outscales you.
Draven
Missing your hook when he's all in will most likely result in you and your ADC dying. I would bring exhaust if you're not confident.
Sett
He can easily set up a double stun on you and your ADC if you lantern them in. He also does insane damage. On top of that, he's very good for countering engages
Brand
Very bad match up for Thresh. His poke is high and can easily turn fights around. Only go all in if you know you can win.
Swain
I hate going against this champ on Thresh. He does high damage and has plenty of sustain in longer fights. Try to kill him pre 6 and impact the map a lot.
Vel'Koz
HIs poke is disgusting. Dodge the poke at all costs and save a CC ability to cancel his R
Zilean
Pretty bad match up for Thresh. When he hits 6 you have to play carefully. When killing someone that has Zilean R, try to raise the edge of your R on top of them before they respawn. He outscales HARD
Vayne
Hard to hit your hook on. Try fighting as much as possible before Vayne hits 6.
Janna
She has a knock back and knock up to cancel your engages. Play cautiously against her.
Kalista
Champ is very hard to hook and she can easily turn fights around.
Samira
She can easily block your hook with her (W) ability. Make sure to only hook when she doesn't have it.
Lucian
Hard to hit your hook on. He also does very high damage. Try to predict his E.
Xerath
Watch out for his poke and try to dodge it whenever possible. Try to fight him when you're not too low on health and mana. Landing a hook on him will kill him most of the time.
Seraphine
YOU MUST SHUT HER DOWN EARLY. She hard outscales you if the game goes on or if you lose lane.
Bard
Not too bad, but when he reaches 6 your laning phase becomes hell. His 6 can complete deny your engage and he can set up ganks for the enemy jungler. He will outscale you later on.
Alistar
Mostly a skill based match up. If you are very experienced, you can flay his engage and overall cancel it out and turn the fight.
Blitzcrank
Dodge his hooks and lantern your caught ADC away. Use caution when fighting him when he's 6+ with Ult up.
Maokai
You can't flay his (W) engage and his saplings hurt badly if you get caught by them in bushes.
Nautilus
When he hooks you, if you time your flay right, you can knock him back slightly and prevent him from autoing you.
Ezreal
He can easily dodge your hooks. Try to predict his E.
Morgana
Thresh is probably the best hook champion that can deal with Morgana. You can still recast your Q on any black shield target. This champ will still make it hard for you to snowball bot though.
Lulu
Pretty easy to win this lane most of the time. Watch out for her poke and you'll win. She will outscale you hard, end quick.
Leona
Leona is a easy match up for Thresh. You can flay her away if she latches onto you or your ADC with her (E) ability. Also your lantern will come in handy a lot against her.
Jhin
Free for you. You can lantern your ADC out of his R and he has no mobility. Hooking him is free.
Galio
You can flay his engage (E) and most likely turn the fight around.
Jinx
No mobility, easy to kill.
Rell
You can completely shut down her engage and turn it against her. Flay her when she's in the middle of her (W) and cancel it. After doing this she will be very slow and easy to kill with your ADC.
Veigar
His wall is hard to get around, but if you hook him you can usually kill him. End game quick, he scales.
Nami
Landing a hook will usually result in
her dying. Try to always dodge her Q when engaging
Varus
Easy match up. Hooking him will most likely result in his death.
Rakan
If you're very good at timing your flay, you can cancel his (E) and (W) dashes.
Pyke
Pretty easy for Thresh. Catching him out will most likely result in Pyke's death. Make sure to cut down his dash by timing your flay correctly after recasting Q on him.
Yuumi
Very easy. You stomp any lane usually with Yuumi in it. Don't let the game go on for too long because she does outscale and can enable other laners to carry.
Sona
Free lane. Just becareful of her level 6. She can easily turn fights around if you play poorly. She will outscale later into the game.
Soraka
Hook her and kill her. Be careful for her 6 as it can sometimes turn fights around.
Lux
Free. Just hook her.
Draven
The best synergy with Thresh. High damage and aggressive, which is perfect for Thresh. Locking down any target in botlane will most likely result in their death.
Samira
She has a dash and very high damage. She can combo a knock up extender when you flay. She also has
defensive capabilities with her W
Lucian
His high energy aggression and damage early game is very good with Thresh. Landing a hook will probably be a free kill or flash.
Caitlyn
You can both easily dominate and take control of the lane. You can easily flay people into her traps for a very good CC chain combo.
Kalista
Very good synergy. She can easily get you into flay range with her R. Not only that, she does high damage.
Tristana
She can play very aggressive early game and also has very high burst.
Kai'Sa
She can R to anyone you CC if she's in range and does higher burst in the mid to late
Aphelios
His gravitum gun (Purple gun) makes it easy for you to hit your hooks. He also does extreme amounts of damage with the right weapon combinations.
Jhin
Has very nice follow up with your hooks and CC, but the only downside is that he auto attacks very slowly
Veigar
He has to scale, but his wall is very good for setting you up
Jinx
Good CC chain combo with her traps (E). She takes time to scale, but you can enable her to scale earlier
Vayne
Not bad, but she takes time to scale. Try your best to enable her to scale quicker
Ashe
Her slows and stun from her R are very good for setting you up with a free hook.
Miss Fortune
She does high damage and can easily dominate lane with you, but she doesn't scale that well
Ezreal
He needs to scale, but your champ needs to dominate the early to mid. Not the best combo
Kog'Maw
Not that great. The Kog'Maw player has to be good in order for it to work.
