Hello TiltedSupport,

The guide is helpful a lot but I am a little bit concerned about the build. There is neither , nor in it. I really think that as a support champion should have these items. will help the whole team while will secure 's adc. They are much better than and , at least in my opnion.
Please tell me why you have chosen and over and

Hi monimakaroni,

I agree that will help with the teamfighting phase, but in this current meta with more assassins (eg ,), your carries might die even before you can use . It is useful, if the enemy team comp doesn't have a one shotting threat.

As for , the effect isn't as effective since is ranged. Personally, I have tried the build and i feel like the peel that provides is a lot better since I tend to stick with both carries a lot and the 15% slow is better in my opinion. would be better on supports such as , who can utilize its passive better.

I build in the case of a teamfight that ends with me and 1 or 2 teammates alive, I am able to regen most of my health when out of combat to help in warding objectives, and not be 1 shotted by the enemy who could be looking for more picks before starting the objective. Of course, isn't the only choice for alternative builds, but this is one that I personally like. Alternatively, you could replace with redemption as you mentioned.

All in all, it all boils down to your playstyle as a .

Hope this answers your question :)

Hi, thanks for the guide as a support player, can you please consider why don't you basically pick since it seems better and also main item of , yet not sure how players are supposed to choose between and both are useful but not sure, also seems better because of shields don't you think? Every adc has not had some sort of attack speed battery like , also taking 9x seems more effective why you take 5% cdr from runes I don't get it, it will be wasted at late game even doesn't it? Thanks btw tips were really useful ^^ Can you share your plans about guide, I think we need more detailed guides in moba, it would be nice to see another in-depth one since is really hard do play -interactive complex support I need a few more guides to understand him even after 7lvl master ._. Still not sure If I should buy on or not lul :*

It will be beneficial if you purchase if you intend to roam a lot in the early game, but is more for laning, since you'll be able to throw more skill shots in lane. It provides the early CDR since your has a decently high CD before it's maxed.

To be honest, choosing between and is purely based on your playstyle as a player. is better for in lane sustain and for all ins since it is quite forgiving due to the extra HP and healing charges. is more towards catching out the opponent's mistakes and mis-positions. It provides you the additional mana regen, which is helpful if your ADC is a poke based ADC.

is a lot better if you opt for the face of the mountain since the shield also scales with your max HP. However, my build focuses mainly on building resistances (AR/MR), which means my shield will pale in comparison to a that goes face of the mountain. Also, to get a larger shield, you will almost always need to burn a for a multiple man , which you can only do when your is up, another reason to purchase as it provides CD on your summoner spells.

is not a bad choice in lane since it allows you to play more aggressively with the additional poke that you can take. However, since does not have base armour, and I go for , I would have to take the additional armour. As for my choice of quints, I like running CDR since gives me 5% more CDR. Even at level 1, I will have 10% CDR, which allows me to throw more in lane. Usually, at the end of the game (35 min), you will not be fed enough to just reach 40% CDR, unless your 4th item is which gives 20%, while I have 10% from , 10% from talisman of ascension, 5% from runes: total of 25% without

As for the direction of the guide, I will take all feedback I can get from the discussions and improve it as much as I possibly can.

Hopefully this has answered all your questions :)

Cheers, TiltedSupport

KK thanks again, I have tried 10% cdr bonus from runes as it allows us to reach cdr cap more easily, I find that somehow disturbing due to lost stats of magic resistance can be deadly against , because even its not a big deal 12-15 mr, but that stops most 'true damage'' of magic dealers that built early and and blocking way of true damage alike magic damage is invaluable since you won't be able to build solari in a healthy way at early game that speedy, however seems nice alongside with talisman of ascension since passive 20% speedup also closes lack of , but still I can find only rare situations for Talisman since 950 HP is very solid and important,

I have also tried other stonething bornthing yet I didn't find it that useful since build focusing on taking def, received healing is like nothing and had to be procced by 4 followed AAs, yet as a season 4-5 thresh player building tanky was most casual things on these days, but nowadays I see players even building with , FoTM and other support items :D

Sorry I forgot to mention the main reason of comment~ since is a support, he will usually be going to take similar items unlike most of the top lane champions, his build can sometimes overcap cdr which is not nice, thanks, still faster summoner spells nicely to have but sometimes I really feel the lack of , extra slow damage debuff can be useful even in dive, team fights, 2v2 and many examples, however, Ignite really helped me to ensure many many kills until now while playing its really good for him but what do you think really about ? ^^ Sorry that was a long comment thou.

Hi RikudouDovahkiin,

I'm glad that you found some success in my build. However, like you said, the missing MR and HP can be an issue for those who aren't used to it. The way I personally play is at the backline peeling for my carries. Hence, I will usually not tank too much damage in teamfights and will not miss the HP too much.

As you mentioned that you are dying quickly to mages that tend towards , I would personally go for the followed by a and rush to prevent myself from getting one-shot. Of course, Face of the Mountain does help because it gives 950HP, but because I take the mastery, building more resistances does offset the missing HP. Perhaps this comes down to a difference in playstyle as most players prefer playing as an engager, rather than someone who plays the backline, which requires more HP from Face of the Mountain.

For summoner spell choices, the utility provides and the kill pressure from is very debatable. Most players take because they tend to be more aggressive in lane and will secure kills for their ADCs early in game. As I play a more passive laning phase than most players, doesn't really help too much since I do not play as aggressive as most players do. Furthermore, falls off later into the game. Hence, is the way to go for me.

Of course, there is no right or wrong summoner to take, but it really does depend if you want to play the lane more "snowball-ey" ( would be better) or more peel-oriented ( would be better).

Cheers, TiltedSupport :)

Hey TiltedSupport,

This is realy halpful guide about Thresh. But is it better to get Face of the Mountain insted of Talisman of Ascension? Because i think need to be more tank... Anyway thank you so much cuz i see you have spent a lot of your time to make this guide.

-ScdoWn :)

face of the mountain provides you with a decent amount of HP and a shield, while talisman of ascension provides you with armour and a speedup for you team.

Personally, because I like to play the tank for the backline, I prefer giving myself tanky stats to be able to soak up more damage. While the shield from face of the mountain can help with that, there is no synergy between the shield and the mastery.

Also, the speed up from talisman of ascension can help you carries kite their threats better.

Furthermore, an AOE heal from could work better than face of the mountain single target shield.

Hope this answers your question :)
