Introduction

Hi my name is Bunnie FuFuu, guide maker and trolling master since 2018 (see my guides to ADC and AP Thresh Mid below).

I'm NA silver 1 on both my main (FINALLY UNBANNED WHOOOO) and my alt (not banned yet). I have over 2,000 games on Thresh (1.1 million mastery) - most of them as support - and about 100 as a jungler. I have a 49% winrate on my main (I'm rly good) and 50% on my alt (seriously, I'm too good) with Thresh. He's my favorite champion by far and very fun to play.

Here's my guide to Thresh - IN THE JUNGLE
Back to Top

Why Thresh Jungle?

WHY THE F*CK NOT???

Seriously though, when Thresh was released in January 2013, he was intended as either 1) a support, 2) a jungler, or 3) a toplaner.

Does that mean that he actually works as a jungler or a toplaner? No

But will we play him in (at least one of) those roles? YES

You see, the thing about Thresh jungle is that it's so unbelievably bad one cannot help but wonder if it could possibly be any worse. Don't worry my bronze friends, it can! That's what this guide is for. Presenting AP Thresh Jungle, the thing that earned me 5 straight reports when I busted it out in ranked. And the only jungler that can make you lose - even when you win.

Speaking of ranked, don't worry about playing this if you're below gold. It's so hard to tell actual strategy from trolling down here that even if you are reported, you'll never get banned.

;))))

Pros/Cons

Being an optimist, I like to look at the positives of every situation. For example, suppose I fail my math exam. Is that bad? Yes. But if we look at the positives I'm finished with the exam and have more free time to get laid. If we really think about it this situation isn't so bad - as long as my mum never finds out

Now let's look at another instance where I make questionable decisions. Like playing AP Thresh Jungle. What are the positives to this situation?

Pros:

- wait there are pros to this?

Cons:

- no damage
- ranged champion (cannot access Titanic Hydra or Ravenous Hydra)
- incredibly bad base stats. Has exactly 4 more base AD than Zilean with lower scaling. Imagine, your autos doing less damage at lvl 18 than some 900 year old guy throwing gears at you
- no waveclear. Imagine trying to cut down a tree with your fists and imagine how much time that would take. That's also how long Thresh takes to clear his wolves
- will be relentlessly invaded once enemies realize you're playing Thresh jungle
- no sustain outside of Dark Passage - which is a teensy shield that used to scale with AP until Riot realized how incredibly mediocre that was and removed it
- no kill pressure but lots of death potential!
- countered by anyone who isn't trolling
- long cooldowns on EVERYTHING
- team will flame you
- team will report you

Well clearly there are many positives to playing AP Thresh Jungle. Let's talk runes
Back to Top

Runes

Since we're building Thresh in a role he is in no way suited for (jungling) we will need runes that work towards that end. That is, runes that do not work at all (don't worry, there's lots of them!)

Now as AP Thresh Jungle, we're here to dominate. And you can only DOMINATE if you take the DOMINATION tree

PRIMARY:

Electrocute remember when Riot removed Thunderlords and renamed it? That's this rune, except the name sucks and like everything in Season 8 it does too much damage. Except this is Thresh, where it will do no damage at all because it scales off of damage and you don't have any (0 times 0 is still 0). But all the other keystones (i.e. Hail of Blades, the rune that turned Jhin into the only being faster than Sonic) somehow suck even harder, so we take this instead

Cheap Shot now Thresh is a champion with a lot of CC. CROWD. CONTROL. Do any of the bronze idiots currently playing him land any of this CC? No. But if you are a ONE MILLION MASTERY Threshmain such as myself you will be able to proc all of the 8 true damage this rune gives you when you take one of the many trades you'll be losing.

Speaking of losing trades, I've developed a clever name for them. It's called 'TACTICAL INT'. OK? Tactical. INT. This name was inspired by Cloud 9's performance in the semifinals vs. Fnatic. In the first game, their jungler, Svensomethingsomethingsomething (let's call him Sven) gave first blood attempting to solo-towerdive a tank Viktor top lvl 4.

Was this a good decision? Was it the right play to make? No. It was, in fact, an incredibly stupid decision. But that's only on the surface. Indeed, for all we know Sven had a deeply complex, intricate plan behind his inting, which we mortals in silver can only guess at. It is for this reason that I call any seemingly random acts of int by junglers, TACTICAL INTs

Now suppose you attempt to gank as AP Thresh Jungle and are counterjungled by the tryhard playing an actual jungler. Since you're 100% useless and 200% dead, be like "ALLAHU AHKBAR, TACTIAL INT MOTHERF*CKERS" and Death Leap to your death (get it? It's called Death Leap - because you died).

Zombie Ward this dumb rune is buy 1, get 1 free for wards. This will help you see the enemy jungler when they're taking all the camps you're not farming.

Ultimate Hunter reduces the LOOOOOOOOOONG cooldown of your ultimate The Box by a little. So instead of dealing damage every 140 seconds you can do it every 135. Poggers!!!

SECONDARY:

Presence of Mind another silly rune that gives infinite cooldown reduction and mana for 'takedowns'. Takedowns are just another name for kills (or assists). But since you're a glorified int machine you won't be getting too many kills. Thankfully, Thresh can farm SO MANY F*CKING ASSISTS, by throwing his (100% broken) Dark Passage at allies who yknow...

actually do stuff

ULT COOLDOWN BOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Legend: Alacrity Thresh's base stats may suck more **** than dancers in a stripclub, but his attack speed scaling (0.625 to 1.000 lvl 1-18) is (amazingly) one of the highest in the game. But his early clear is so mind blowingly awful that this rune becomes necessary so you're not STILL CLEARING YOUR F*CKING WOLVES AT 5 F*CKING MINUTES

F*CK

Items

Hextech Rocketbelt did you know I actually spelled the item name right the first time? Yeah. I'm a beast. This item is very fun on AP Thresh builds. It's one of those things you can suck with and enjoy it. Provides health, CDR, (some) AP, and outplay potential if, by some miracle, you land a hook.

Mobility Boots are nessecary because they let you go REALLY FAST and TACTICALLY INT in three lanes instead of one.

Zhonya's Hourglass the active on this item makes you GOLD, allowing you to look really kewl for 2.5 seconds before your inevitable demise. If you're going to TACTICALLY INT you might as well get the swag (gay) points. Take this

Lich Bane this item would be really great if you were playing Fizz but since we are playing Thresh it's really terrible. Good for oneshotting people, but since you don't have dark harvest or any AD (daily reminder that Thresh AD is lower than ZILEAN lvl 18. LIKE WHAT THE F*CK HE HAS A BIG AS F*CKING WHIP WHY DOES IT DO NO F*CKING DAMAGE) you'll do just enough to feel really good about yourself before the Kassadin on their team two shots you

Rabadon's Deathcap expensive item with stupid build path (TWO BIG-*** F*CKING RODS). Almost gives you some damage, although by the time you get this everyone else will already be out-damaging you by a mile

Oh yeah, get the jungle item too. Why Challenging Smite instead of Chilling Smite? Because I really like the color red. That's why

BOIIIIIIIIIII
