Thresh - The Chain Warden

Hello guys my Name is Intackes (Summoner Name: Good Guy Support) and i play on EUW. As a main support and a main Thresh, I thought of making a guide to help out some guys who are new to Thresh :). In Season IV i ended in Silver I but right now i am Gold III with the goal to Platinum. My Ranked MMR is about Gold III to Platinum IV (I play a lot of DuoQ so i can't really say my exact MMR).

My Stats with Thresh:

Here you can see my Champion Stats
![]() |
Thresh is a twisted reaper whose hungry chains ensnare the souls of the living. A moment's hesitation at the sight of his ghostly visage and there is no escape. He leaves in his wake hollow corpses, their souls ripped loose and trapped in the sickly green light of his lantern. The Chain Warden takes sadistic joy in tormenting his victims, both before and after their deaths. His grim task is never complete, and he stalks the land for ever more resolute spirits to unravel.

Quoted:
"There are few things as invigorating as taking a mind apart, piece by piece."
― Thresh |
![]() |
Thresh's Passive (![]() He collects the souls of Cannon Minions or Enemie Champions. For each soul you get 0.75 AP and Armor |
![]() |
The "Q" (![]() Cooldown is reduced by 3 second if he hits an enemy |
![]() |
Thresh's "W" (![]() |
![]() |
His "E" (![]() Passive: His next auto attack deals bonus magic damage based on how much souls he has and the time since he has hit the last auto attack Active:Thresh sweeps his chain in a broad line towards a target direction. Enemies hit take magic damage, are knocked in the same direction as the chains, and are slowed afterwards for 1 second. |
![]() |
The Ulti (![]() If an enemy hits a wall he gets slowed by 99% for 2 seconds.But one enemy can't get hit by multiple walls |
+ Pros
+ Good engage+ Can peel very well + Strong "E" + High Utility |

- Cons
- Hard to master- Ult can be flashed - Relies on ![]() - ![]() |
Thresh has a strong Level 2. If you get Level 2 first, you can easily engage, but you have to be careful if you are playing against an

He can kick you easily into the tower (if he's good).
Normally if you can't get the first Blood, you are able to make a enemy use a summoner spell, even if it's just the exhaust of the Support or the heal of the ADC, it's something that can help you to win the lane.
Not becoming Level 2 first is not a tragedy, your "

![]() |
Why I use Flash?
Flash is very useful to make for example a flash hook or even a flash flay. Also it can be used to flash over the wall. Afterwards you give your adc the lantern to escape |

I really recommend using these Masteries, it has two important things which a good Thresh needs, defense and utility. You are tanky enough for the laning phase and you have enough Utility, so you are not behind with the items. I don't really have to explain the points in the Defense Tree because they explain themselves. The Mastery



The Mastery







Runes




These are the rune that i recommend to use.
There are more armor runes (



Normally the support does damage but it isn't that much
Also the

I prefer maxing firstly the "E" because of the passive of(

Secondly i max the "Q"(

I don't recommend maxing the "W" (




face of the mountain |
Face of the Mountain has a really strong passive, the shield. It not only gives your mates sustain and helps them to survive, it also deals some nice amount of damage. |
![]() |
A Sightstone is a must-have item on a Supporter. Warding can prevent your and the ADC's death. |
![]() |
With Randuins Omen you are able to tank some damage dealt to you. But most importantly this item has a slow, so casing enemies gets very easy. |
![]() |
Mikael's is always good if the opponent has much CC like Morgana or Leona. It also has a heal that can help as well. |
![]() |
For this Item i can only say: OP SHIELD. It gives you and your nearby allies magic resistance. |
![]() |
I always prefer these boots as a Thresh, they give you a nice amount of mobility. Sometimes I also like to play with ![]() |

ADCs:
Ashe
|
Varus
|
Miss Fortune
|
Jinx
|
Ashe has her very strong Ultimate ![]() |
Varus only has his ![]() ![]() |
It's the same like Ashe and Varus. She has no escape but she does some damage with her ![]() |
Has no escape. But the slow ![]() ![]() ![]() |
|
|
|
|
Kog'Maw
|
Corki
|
Caitlyn
|
Draven
|
Kog'Maw is similar to Varus and Jinx. He can poke you, because of the ![]() ![]() |
Corki got nerfed in the latest patch. He still got his ![]() ![]() |
Long range and her stun ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Very Strong because of ![]() ![]() ![]() |
|
|
|
|
Graves
|
Kalista
|
Vayne
|
Tristana
|
Graves is very hard matchup. He is currently a really powerful ADC. His burst of ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Kalista hasn't much CC only her ![]() |
Vayne can do a lot of damage with her ![]() ![]() |
Tristana was nerfed so her damage isn't quite that problem. It's more because of her ![]() ![]() ![]() |
|
|
|
|
Ezreal
|
Sivir
|
Quinn
|
Urgot
|
Good poking in Lane (thanks to his ![]() ![]() ![]() |
I've given Sivir Medium because she has high damage. The only problem will be her "E" (![]() ![]() |
Not a really good to play aginst Thresh. Doesn't deal a lot of damage. And her jump ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Can't tell much about Urgot. No escape possiblites. His damage is ok but i wouldn't consider him as an ADC, because you play more like an Offtank. |
|
|
|
|
Twitch
|
Twitch is a little bit like Sivir. It's not that she doesn't do damage. It's more his "Q" ![]() ![]() |
|
Supports:
Leona
|
Blitzcrank
|
Nami
|
Janna
|
Leona is a middle matchup. Even though you can deny her ![]() ![]() |
Blitzcrank should be a very easy matchup. If he uses his ![]() |
Nami has a strong poking potential. But in the lane she only has her ![]() ![]() |
Does have a lot of disengage but isn't really strong in the current Meta (at least i think so). So if the ADC isn't that hard to catch this matchup should be easy. If the ADC has escape i would say middle. ![]() |
