I've looked through almost all guides on Thresh right now but I can't seem to find a general line of how people build him. His abilities and passive are all AP based, but I see people building him with AD runes. Can someone explain this to me?

The items Thresh build are to be supportive for the team, such as Sightstone and Redemption. You take the AD runes because its gonna do more for you in skirmishes bot lane. You abilities will deal damage through their base damage, and you add power to your auto attacks with AD runes, which can win you a bottom lane fight.
Thanks to jhoijhoi for the awesome PsiGuard-loving sig!

Thresh's flay passive scales with AD which is why some people use AD runes.

Imo the best setup is probably AD marks, HP seals, MR glyphs and armour quints.

I was under the impression that AD runes were there to make it easier for Thresh players to lasthit when buying Relic Shield.

And he's basically a ranged tank, so you don't actually build him AD nor AP (you can go off-meta and play him both AD or AP though).

That's true too but I don't think that that's the primary reason people get AD runes, at least I namely do it so that I my poke is a lot stronger. I could be wrong though!
