Champion Build Guide

I currently have 400k+ mastery points and have started to do some livestreaming
(Also note that I haven't touched on everything in this guide after the new season came, So far I have only updated everything that didn't look right at a first glance! Also the builds are most likely going to change within a week, maybe 2)



The biggest downside I can think of is not being able to flash over walls and you can't dodge over for example

Ofcourse you can pick


|
Lethal Tempo is a really good rune for Thresh top, since you get good scaling and damage. It helps with poking and longer trades.
|
Fleet footwork is also great if you want just a little more damage and sustain (mostly for sustain). You can also use it if you want to go crit Thresh wich does deal alot of damage but you're really weak and in lategame can get oneshotted. While on that note,
First Strike is a good crit/ad Thresh rune, maybe even
Hail of Blades but I won't get into that territory here

Press the attack is useful if you want to play more aggressive it's great againts most matchups. It's also my favourite keystone for Thresh Top, it's fun and really useful (atleast in my opinion)

Precision

Presence of mind is great since Thresh has some slight mana problems and this pretty much removes that problem. Also when you get [[Tiamat] you can use the tiamat's shockwave to hit an enemy and activate PoM, which is so useful.

Overheal Is only used if you're going


Legend: Alacrity is great for Thresh since the attack speed is real useful for him and it's the only one useful from the second row from him.

Last stand is the best choice for Thresh from the last row with


Coup de grace isn't really that good since you can get more value out of


Resolve

Revitalize pretty much just boost's your lantern nothing special, it might be viable, but there are way better choices

Conditioning gives a real juicy amounts of armor and magic resist. Always useful to have this

Bone plating is great in matchups againts champions with a lot of poke



Overgrowth boosts your health scaling. so it's also super useful allowing you to become tankier

Second wind is also good againts poke lanes, so you can get some health back.

Unflinching is good if they have alot of stun, slow etc. you just don't want to deal with
Remember that you can mix and match all the lesser runes as you see fit.
Titanic Hydra
Titanic Hydra
Great tank item for Thresh. It helps with clearing the wave, allows you to poke and gives good stats. Also you can reset your autoattack when you activate titanic hydra

Heartsteel
Heartsteel
Heartsteel is a great item that gives alot of hp. Sadly you don't get as much hp per heartsteel stack anymore, but that doesn't mean it isn't useful

Jak'sho the protean

Jak'sho is great, since it covers both defence types really well, you're so hard to kill with this. Also this goes kind of heard if you build this with heartsteel
Sunfire Aegis
Sunfire Aegis
Sunfire is okay now... Nothing special, I wouldn't really build this unless the enemy team is full AD champs, I'd build Hollow Radiance instead since Thresh really lacks in magic resist

Hollow Radiance
Hollow Radiance
For Thresh, this is just a better Sunfire Aegis, since the stats are prettu much the same, but Thresh doesn't really need the armor that Sunfire gives, because of souls. He needs more magic resist

Wit's End
Wit's End
It's great. Wit's end is great even againts mostly AD teams. Although this item isn't as great as it was in Season 13, the stats are still quite nice

Thornmail
Thornmail
Thresh can apply grievous wound with this easily with E and Q, plus it gives some good armor. Probably not that useful in ost games, so don't bother building, in all honesty.

Abyssal mask
Abyssal mask
Abyssal Mask is a good way for Thresh to get magic penetration and it helps the team. You also get magic resist so that doesn't hurt.
Anathema's chains
Basically this item gives damage reduction (from a single enemy) and reducec tenacity from whoever you put it on so thats a nice bonus. Activate this item on the enemies carry or ADC.
Blade of the ruined king
It's a great item to add into your build when going againts a tanky opponents and is great extra damage into your build if you aren't interested in Wit's End
Force of nature
This is a great item for Scout uuh I mean Thresh since the magic resistance on this item is great againts heavy ap enemies and to movement speed is also good.
Terminus
Kind of a weird item, not to say it doesn't have it's uses. Maybe not for your usual Thresh top shenanigans, but if you're building AD or crit Thresh it could be really strong. It can have good synergy in normal Thresh top.
Rapid Firecannon is quite good with this too
Hullbreaker
At first I was meh on Hullbreaker, but then I tried it and it was really fun. You will be a splitpush menace with this, Titanic Hydra and Hollow Radiance.

Pros:
Ranged toplane
Good armor with passive
Easy laning phase if played properly
Good CC
Easy for team to gank with W
E can knock enemies back making it harder to engage
Enemies won't know what to expect
the hook + E combo at tower can cheese you some early kills
Cons:
Cooldowns are high
Learning curve
Squishy champ early
Low mobility
Slow MS
Team can flame you and jg might not ever gank top wich can make you lose lane

It takes 10 seconds to fully charge it but you can't auto attack because it resets it. (Hitting a

Also Thresh's passive helps with going tank because one soul provides you with 1 Ability Power, 1 Armor and some magic damage.

Electrocute is most likely the only rune that works with AP Thresh mid though don't fact check me on that.
But you can change
Cheap Shot with
Taste of Blood if that is what you think is better or what the enemy team is.

Press the Attack is pretty much the best rune for AP Thresh top because it's useful in all stages of the game from early to late.
And that is because you can poke your lane opponent and deal good damage with it. Plus you can try to proc it first and then deal huge damage with your abilities. Also you can pretty much force the enemy to go back once you get 2 autoattacks in, since they fear the third one that activates PTA.
All and all it allows you to actually play AP Thresh on top unlike

All the minor runes are the same!
