Big downside is to use it offensively you have to pretty much dive into the middle of the enemy team, Amumu style, but I guess if you build tanky enough you'd be fine. | ||

Sell GA when on CD, buy Oracles/Elixir/<Something>, rebuy GA later. Money spent. | ||

However, given how ridiculous Thresh's lantern toss looks I'm fine with him having weaknesses in the rest of his kit. Also just because it is worse than another ability doesn't mean it's going to be bad (veigar's E is pretty ridiculous in all honesty) | ||

If you're someone who clicks around a lot (microing) like me, and a Thresh throws his lantern around you as you're trying to micro, you WILL click it by accident before you realize it and transport yourself to him. Have tried it, very frustrating. | ||

Seriously the throw animation is pretty long, it's not like the lantern instantly appears at a location | ||

I don't know why Riot and the community is so concerned with abilities having troll potential. If someone wants to ruin the game, they can do so without using displacement abilities. Meanwhile, we're seeing clear limits onto the implementation of new mechanics for champion abilities, which is a sad state of affairs. | ||

I'm not saying it's a bad ability or it should be changed, all I'm saying is it is definitely possible to troll with it. Even if you do troll with it, it doesn't ruin the game; far from it. If anything this lantern has CRAZY play-making potential as seen from the Champion Spotlight. I feel like if Phreak+ the playtesters at Riot came up with the plays shown, the just imagine what the community and the pros will come up with..... | ||
