i've been going yasuo/thresh botside with my brother, and i never thought to go look at guides which was a mistake.
not only did my thresh gameplay become significantly better, so did my overall support knowledge. i still have much more to learn, considering i joined late august, so i look forward to your future guides.

Yo! I like ur guide so much Its so good for new players that want to play thresh. And i'd like to ask u do u think thresh is less powerful after the nerf in patch 9.4. Thank you! And good luck grinding in season 9!

I think the nerfs make his laning less oppressive, but not awful. He'll still be strong, just not in as good of a place as before. The mana nerf doesn't do much as you go often, so you don't miss out on mana regen. The hook being increased by 4 seconds at level 1 does mean you may not have the liberty to put a point or two into in most games, as you need to get the cooldown shortened ASAP.

Yo, you do know thresh's W has only 50 range (950) less than
Approach Velocity (1000) right? That renders it kinda useless for rescue purposes...

Hey
Im dumb at this game and i like to ask one thing:
Hextech Flash is good?Because i think that the principe of flash is to run away or chase,but since you have to canalise with that,in wich situation does i have to use it?
Also great guide,even for someone like me it's easy to learn and very powerful.

is useful on champs that lack the range to actually get in and do their job without making it obvious. is someone who uses it well, because the range of his is relatively short. Since your and are both ranged abilities, you aren't at a range disadvantage. While it's not necessarily bad on , there are better options that aren't as niche as Hexflash.

Ho!
Thanks for explaining!

Hey Kilo Khaos,
that's a really impressive guide you have there. Wow, really. :)
It's pretty amazing how well-organized you keep so many crucial information in your guide and it's still very clean and good-looking.
I really looove your tips and tricks section as well as the special synergy one.
Your whole guide's simply amazing. Awesome job. :3 Thumbs up.

Love the look of this guide and all the information you provide! I love all the different builds! Is there any match ups that would prefer Relic Shield or Ancient Coin?

(15) |

It's basically only as of late.

Oh dayum. This is a ✦divine✦ guide *-*. I love the layout and I think you wrote all the info you needed. The matchup section is so helpful and I can see you put a whole lot of time into this since it's so detailed. Thresh is a very good support at the moment and this guide is just what I needed. (If I spot a Thresh who seems to be using this I guess I'll know what to do xD)

(13) |

What matchups should I take Ancient Coin or Relic Shield into? I'm assuming Coin in melee matchups and Relic in poke lanes because of the sustain provided? Or am I completely wrong? Thanks!

(15) |

At this point in time, should almost never be considered. The health is worse, your auto attacks are ranged thus not providing the full healing benefit and making acquiring stacks harder, and the bonus gold generation is sub par. is providing move speed for roams, a good chunk of CDR quite early in the game, and great gold regen., as well as the mana coins.

(13) |

Sounds great to me, I honestly never like going Relic Shield when Coin is an option just because of the superior gold generation that Coin offers over Relic. I guess the fact that Thresh is ranged only makes the decision easier. Thanks for the answer, much appreciated!

Hi Kilo Khaos ^^ Love the look of your guide! I was stunned by how much information you've managed to pack in here and especially liked reading the threats section - I don't often see people write about the enemy support and ADC match-ups.

I'll have to admit, I don't have much experience playing with as a support, so I'm probably one of those people who can benefit greatly from your guide (I'm so guilty of not clicking on Lanterns).

I like how you add tips on gameplay throughout the guide (like in your Summoner Spells section).

Why is a poor choice? It seems like Thresh could really make use of it bot lane.

Perhaps if you don't really grab , don't include it in the guide?

I really liked your guide, thank you for sharing! :) +1

Thanks for all the positive feedback! I wanted it to cater to people no matter their ELO, so I tried to put as much detail as possible.

As for , it's something I wouldn't bring because of the lack of income supports have. By itself, the damage is good for initiations but the damage isn't massive and the uses of it tend to be situational. Even if you're using every single time a charge is ready, you'll still be a bit behind. It also rewards you for trading with some extra gold, which encourages newer people who may be a bit more squeamish in lane to play aggressively and poke. 's income is really helpful if you're behind too, as it makes catching up easier.

And for , I don't grab it personally, but I included it so people knew that it was one of the few items not to bring. It's the same situation as why I put things like or , to show that they do have uses, but not many.
