Might have something to do with the whole difficulty of having to ward the map yourself survive everyone trying to kill you doing such all the while trying to take farm without earning the ire of your team and trying to "carry". Also to note you are doing this without the ability to actually kill enemy players most of the time.

About people saying thresh has a 53.5% winrate while being a "hard champion".

Thresh may be hard to play perfectly, but he is also crazy op. His lantern ganks are almost unwardable, his q knock up combo almost as strong as blitz combo without as much displacement of the enemy, his ult is stupid strong, and to combo with all of that he isn't melee range like would make sense, but has ranged poke in lane.

Doesnt matter how hard a champion is to play if even if you play him badly you still have more effect on the game then other supports.

It's really easy for support players to just zone out of their own mistakes because "I'm support and there's nothing I could do to save this game". As such, it's very easy for support players to get into a bad mindset that is detrimental to their own improvement.

Thresh is a melle champion that Riot typed the wrong number into his range box.

I still feel like blitz is stronger than thresh in soloque
In Hungry Hungry Hippos there are no such constraints—one can constantly attempt to collect marbles with one’s hippo, limited only by one’s hippo-levering capabilities.

Thresh doesn't rely on landing a hook to win lane. He doesn't even have to lane his Q on a champion to use it as an engage which is sick. It just seems like they gave the guy 1 or 2 too many advantages in his toolkit compared to the average support. His worst spells is his E and that's a mid-cd knockback skill with a huge slow added, which says a fuckton a lot about a champion's strength.

I mean was it really necessary to give the guy a huge AoE shield, free armor, free damage on his auto, AND have him be ranged? His Q and W without the bells and whistles are among some of the most powerful skills as is.

So if 1/3 of your total damage against champions is magic damage, would it be worth it to get like Hybird penetration Quintessence runes?

Or at what points would one want to go for Hybrid penetration?


http://www.reignofgaming.net/blogs/a-different-view/diff-the-ender/23126-hybrid-penetration-marks-analysis-by-difftheender

Not a huge fan of these articles because I find he is both needlessly roundabout, and he analyses in such a way to be useless in an actual game.

The answer to this question is hybrid marks/quints are cost efficient when more than 40% of your damage is of the other type after accounting for mitigation. From my experience, this is only on-hit Teemo and Gunblade Jax. Jax with TF does more physical, and AP Teemo does more magical damage.

If you are playing a mixed damage champion on a single damage type focused team (have an AD mid of example) it could become more efficient to take hybrid runes since enemy MR will likely be correspondingly lower relative to armour. In your example, if the enemy is armour stacking and not building MR, hybrid runes will become cost efficient.

Overall, since you are likely only going to build a single penetration item (if at all), it is usually going to be more efficient to take a single rune type due to the multiplicative scaling of penetration items.
There's no way 40% can be true, hybrid pen is so close to single penetration. I could almost guarantee that Jax benefits from hybrid more than apen even with triforce, especially when you count the time before it's finished(which is when penetration runes are at their best).

You are right. I hadn't looked at their new values, and they have gone from being 60% of the penetration of single type runes to >70%, so the numbers are going to have to be adjusted. I didn't realize that they didn't adjust all of the runes by the same amount with the s3 changes.

I don't know whether or not I should post this in the QQ thread or not, so I'll post it here:
Thank you Thresh for carrying me. You know who you are. I was the Trist. I got destroyed. And you saved the day

Also a "well" played Caitlyn is so annoying to deal with.

So I just hit 30 and did placement games, managed to get Silver 3. Hoped for better but hey that's a start. Dunno why I'm posting this. If anyone wants to Duo on EUW give me a shout. I play anything just lack some support champs.

Support is annoying for me because I feel like I have a good grasp of when to go in and where not to go in but my ad's often don't, or they just don't know how two champs work together. Like yesterday we were Thresh/Varus, and I spotted the enemy MF/Taric in the riverbrush. So I throw the lantern by my AD, and Q at the same time, yank MF out and drop the box. Obviously Taric stuns me... and then I die. Varus autos once or twice, then dies.

The AD complains "why did you go in". I have to explain it literally step by step. I grab MF, Taric reflexively burns his stun on me, wasting their only CC. Varus can fire off a pointblank ulti and W at MF and then just kill her. I shielded Varus preemptively, and he can reposition from danger by grabbing it as well.I saved my E in case MF ults, or to slow her once she begins to escape.

My old AD DuoQ partner and I were so in sync as Leona/ someone else that wen I went in for my WEQ combo he'd be able to proc sunlight all 3 times. The extra 100+ damage from the 3rd proc/ auto was so fucking good. Don't get that kind of awesomeness much anymore. :/

Also, I get really annoyed when AD starts telling me when to do my job-- ward this, ward that, go stand in that bush, etc. I DON'T TELL YOU WHAT DO, SO STOP BOTHERING ME.

Don't worry, I hear the best you can get on placements is gold 5 from a fresh account, and that's if you win them all.

i dislike playing support in solo queue. actually i just dislike solo queue.

i've been noticing a lot of subtleties in playing support, especially regarding the positioning and zoning that's constantly going on and where you need to position yourself to possibly deny one or two cs. solo queue support just doesn't have that, and as i prefer supports like janna/nami/lulu/sona to the bigger playmaking supports like leona/taric/blitz/alistar/thresh, it's actually really boring since i just sit there most of the time until laning phase is over.


I don't think as Lulu you just sit there. I duo queued with my Plat friend, and he literally won the lane for me by harassing them so hard 1v2 that they had to sit at tower while I just froze the lane. The only support I'd prefer to have over Lulu is Thresh.

It was so nice having every key point warded. I love having amazing supports as opposed to just good or okay.
Seriously. Purple is strong.

Meh. When I adc I prefer Thresh over Blitz. I just enjoy Thresh's kit more. I feel he brings better team fight than a silence that doesn't last that long.

I like playing support, as I think does most players from time to time.
It sucks however when you get underleveled and gets pushed into pasically a 2-spell and ward-bot, or as said when your team isn't on the same wavelength as you are.
Like, I played a bit of mid/top this week with Renektron and Lux, and wow, suddenly I'm 18 at like 25-30 minutes! that's a HUGE difference in fun, from being like level 13-14 at that time, which even happens in pro games I believe.
Nothing is impossible, only some things for some people.

Thats why I like him in soloque, he is like the aggressive version of soraka where he requires no communication. You land a pull and they shoot him, with thresh they can fuck up or overengage or ignore hooks or whatever.

but its true I spammed a ton of thresh and it made my blitz awful
