Wait wait, so you're looking for other non tier ones to go with Thresh? When Thresh is actually still tier 1? wat.

You bein too picky son, just pick a champion you really like and play it. Eff the tier list.

Thresh is not tier 1. Tier 1 are champs that are good usually no matter what thresh is much more like blitz now you need land hooks and make plays.

All his utility and lane has been nerfed quite a bit.

He is still good with his kit he is just not a top pick hes top tier 2 and still good if your a good thresh player.

I think you're giving those nerfs a bit too much credit buddy. Thresh is still very good and likely won't be going out of play any time soon. Also, heaven forbid you have to land skill shots to succeed. Not everyone can be click2win. :[

Correct, Thresh is still a top-tier support pick, just not a pick/ban worthy champ anymore.

Except for that it was.

Level 1 stun 600something AA range and a 1.5s AoE stun at level 6 is ****ing broken man.


Level 1 AOE stun you mean, saw an Annie walk into a 5-man deathbrush once. W - Walked away like it was nothing.

Annie still works really good with Graves. Their level 6 has to be one of the scariest combos in the bottom lane. For other ADC's there are far better choices.
Thanks Emikadon for the sig!

Also heaven forbid Annie gets a rylais after laning is done. Have you ever dealt with the death bear of frosty slowing doom?

4.13 nerf Thresh, his W no longer apply buff to anyone.

The Box deal damage only first time you run through it.

But I think he still viable choice and very strong, tier 1 plz. :D

Annie support sucks. Especially if you're in the kind of Elo where no one know how to properly play support :P

Thresh has fallen, and he's actually "balanced" right now. He is possibly the most skill-indexed support to this day and unlike other "skill-indexed champions", his skill floor is actually high for what it takes for you to pick him over someone else.

Someone playing Thresh well can single handedly carry games. He is absolutely tier 1 still - it's just that he actually takes a lot of skill to play now. My friend last season ended in silver, and started this season in plat, because he carried all 10 of his placement games as thresh.


Also, i don't think Annie support is viable. I think the reason she was so strong before was because she had such ridiculously high base damages on her spells... Now, she doesn't...
If you're looking for a support that deals a lot of damage, i'd suggest Karma. She deals a lot of damage in the early game, and is imo the most mage-like champion you can play, while still offering support utility. If you're planning on giving her a try, and you're good at not taking free damage in lane, i'd recommend you use my rune setup:
9x greater mark of hybrid penetration
6x Greater Seal of Health
3x Greater Seal of Scaling Health
9x Greater Glyph of Ability Power
3x Greater Quintessence of Ability Power
If I helped you out, be sure to throw me a +Rep!
