i never bought or played thresh except maybe once or twice during a free week because i just assumed he was going to be nerfed into the ground and i rarely support.

yesterday i noticed i had like 20k ip and finally bought him, sure enough 1min later i end up as last pick and i guess i felt like trolling my team by playing a champ i was borderline clueless on in a ranked game. our jungler also dc'd/quit while loading and never came back so it was 4v5 the entire game.

level 1 i warded above their red and landed my first ever ranked hook from inside dragon pit as my team came from river to give us 2-3 kills at the start. a little later our ashe was oblivious to a gank but fortunately i was not and i got to experience firsthand just how balanced lantern is.

later still ashe gets caught again and is like at 10% hp after taking the lantern with their lee sin close enough for an easy Q. somehow despite missing basically every other flay i attempted (trying to pull people with smartcast and zero practice is apparently hard) i was able to anticipate and knock him back out of mid air.

my attitude in 4v5s and stomps is like a kid in a pc bang not wanting to waste the time he paid for in a losing effort, but i got outvoted 3 to 1 and sure enough we managed to win.

tl;dr: thresh is so good that even if you don't know what you're doing he's still strong enough that it's like having an extra player on your team.

I'm just playing around with you guys. Honestly I think you overstate how often I brag post. Most of the time I participate meaningfully, but sometimes I like to joke around and show off a bit. I probably just have more instances where there's a chance for me to do this than most people. I mean, I did just get into Mensa .

we are probably overstating it. i mean we don't talk often enough about how you like to shit talk low elo players, what old league was like, and how awesome japan was. probably missing one or two other frequent topics here as well.
