Thresh has:
  • free armor and AP
  • high engage and disengage capabilities
  • high mobility assets
  • CC for days

and you complain about a 25 range nerf?


Yeah.

Wouldn't it make sense to nerf one of those if they're the real problems?

They cant nerf his cc disengage or engage without reworking him his cooldowns already are long so they cant really be longer unless you want all his abilities be over 20 secs on cd. He just has a good kit makes sense to hurt his lane like they are. Its not as easy to nerf as champ correctly as people make it out to be there needs to be a balance.

If you noticed tho thresh has got laods of nerfs and still top support just because of his kit being so good its hard to nerf him correctly i think hes fine right now why not just buff older supports?

Its free damage that doesn't scale at all and rapidly becomes completely irrelevant.
By the time Annie hits 6, you've got other things to worry about.

Its free dmg when it matters the lvl 1-6 is one most important parts of the game in bot lane one kill pretty much decides the lane why do you think supports run ignite more often now its all about the first kill that will get your adc lvl ahead in lane and win it.

Yes by lvl 6 her autos wont mean much its about her abilites but early on her autos are still free dmg if you play it right if they did not matter pepople would not be using hybird they would go for maximum magic dmg.

Unless a game goes to like 50 minutes in, his passive won't give him any noticeable amount of armor. He has no innate armor per level, so until level 18 his armor is only going to be able to keep up with everyone else's, not beat their's, usually.

Because then you run into the same problem. Thresh is the outlier, so forcing everyone else into outliers is pretty counter-productive.

What they are trying to accomplish with this nerf is to remove his capabilities in a role that he was not meant for, thus, confining his power to the role that he was. Ultimately making him at the same time easier to nerf within that respective role.
