Lets talk about Tresh!

[quote=FAT FOO DOG]So lets talk a bit about the new upcoming Champion Thresh! Are you going to play him? What role would you play wiht him or did you already played a few games with him on the PBE? Feel free to talk about this stuff here. I am going to buy and play him because Riot is doing something great puting out 2 Support champions in a row.[BTW the skin looks so cool].I think he will be played not only support but maybe also top and mid.I have not really played him only testing him out in a costum game on the PBE and he really feels like a Leona or even Blitzcrank. So what are you toughts about Thresh , the Chain Warden? :) EDIT: oops it is Thresh :/[/quote]

[quote=Bomazon]I've played a few games with him. He feels like a [[leona]] and [[nautilus]] put together and see him being played as a support champion. His lantern seems REALLY strong too. On another note I think the name was Thresh[/quote]

[quote=Berzerk]I played him bot and top. I like to get farm top on him as he scales really well with AS/Onhit build. He passively gets bonus damage equal to all his souls therefore you can farm his damage to get really high with attack speed. hurricane also applies the souls bonus damage meaning you could be a threat to 3 enemies at once. His mid is kinda weak his range isn't long enough and his chain is to slow, also his ratios are really low.[/quote]

[quote=GrandmasterD]Maybe spell his name right in the thread title.. ;P[/quote]

[quote=Pheyniex][quote=Berzerk] I played him bot and top. I like to get farm top on him as he scales really well with AS/Onhit build. [/quote] So, [[Black Cleaver]]? or just [[Madred's Bloodrazor]]? :P[/quote]

Frozen Mallet and hurricane are good items. Ruined king is ok of they are hp stacking.[/quote]

[quote=The Overmyynd]Thresh is namely a support, but I plan to support and jungle him, his ganks are going to be way too brutal to ignore. Top lane is only really viable with his q passive, which allows him to harass champs fairly decently (if he takes a break from CS for a few seconds), but I'm guessing he will be sub optimal top. Mid? lolno. His AP ratios are nowhere near high enough to compete with burst champs like LB and cass. It might have been viable if they had let him keep his mres scaling from his passive, but last time I checked they removed that and just let his Damnation give him ap and armor (the info on our wiki needs fixed and will be as soon as he is finalized). I really don't think that AD thresh is going to be viable at all, since the added AD bonus from his Q only gets high if he DOESN'T attack for a period of time, so my best guess is that he is going to be first and foremost an AP OT. And I also think that he is going to replace Blitz for the permaban support in norms, and will probably be banned ALOT in ranked, since his toolkit offers more utility than any other champion in the league. That lantern by itself makes him worth it. And yes, I am going to instabuy him, since jungle and support are the roles I find myself doing most now. Just my 2 cents.[/quote]

[quote=BusDriver210][[Blade of the ruined king]] is what I'm building on him. That and probably a [[Wit's End]]. Everything else will be situational. Maybe a [[BloodThirster]]....[/quote]

Maybe a [[BloodThirster]].... [/quote] So... ur going to ignore the fact that all his abilities scale off of AP to use a single passive that is only useful if he hasnt attacked anything for more than 2 or 3 seconds?[/quote]

[quote=FalseoGod]Thresh isn't bad for a bruiser, in spite of his scalings. You cannot forget we have other champions with main AP scalings do AD Bruising, like Nidalee.[/quote]
