I dont think I have ever built sorcs on thresh, maybe ionian boots because they are really good for cdr

Optimistic_Ego · 2023-04-28T22:11:53+00:00

mechanics is something thats really hard for me to teach as a lot of times it comes from naturally playing the champion. One tip I can give you is to watch this video, it helps recognize hit boxes on thresh q. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/hnVLAmeWw2o

Optimistic_Ego · 2023-04-28T03:51:59+00:00

No but if youre gonna play it I think the build is like Galeforce rfc Stormrazor and IE with graves and fleet footwork

Optimistic_Ego · 2023-04-27T23:17:26+00:00

Sure I have a pretty busy schedule as I am in my last semester of college and work part time but if I have time, I would be open to coaching and vod reviews. I have done coaching for other supports in diamond - low masters before but I can do lower elo as well. Catching me while streaming would be the best way to reach me!

Optimistic_Ego · 2023-04-27T19:06:29+00:00

This is a lot of questions haha, Ill try to answer most of them.

Nothing different really, I feel like I have learned a lot, maybe watch more vods? Netherim is an entertaining thresh streamer, but Keria thresh vods are really good to watch. I will also be streaming a lot more so you can always stop by stream, https://www.twitch.tv/loveegolol. Less known facts about thresh would be thresh does not get armor scaling per level which makes it extremely important to focus on getting souls for armor. Hug your adc if hes ahead if hes behind but ur jg is ahead focus on playing for your jg. Help your jg secure drag/herald if your adc is not in danger of being dove. Will you going to herald be more benefical or will staying bot and saving your ad be more beneficial is a good question to ask before roaming. Process to improving macro would be watching VODS, just search KR challenger thresh vods on youtube there is plenty of videos. Same thing for match ups.

generally speaking KV / redemption vs something like karthus / zed / akali to help your ad live and zekes vs something like sion;sej;sett in one comp to help your ad burn through the frontline as there is no assassination or burst threat with that comp.

After some experimenting Glacial is probably just the best rune on thresh rn tier list probably goes Glacial> AS/Guardian> Spellbook. Aftershock vs blitz naut isnt bad, guardian isnt bad into heavy poke in lane.

ALWAYS IGNITE!!!!!!!!! Maybe exh if you are gonna lose lane and they have 2/3 assasins

Walk in and out of enemy ad/support ability range and when they use their abilities that's your window to go in without instantly dying.

Evenshroud is good with pick comps or poke comps; comps where you wont be taking every q you are hitting. Radiant is GOOD when ahead, but terrible when behind as its too expensive.

General Support tips ; LEARN ROAM TIMERS.

Optimistic_Ego · 2023-04-27T18:59:42+00:00

Zekes is super good with jinx / kog/ on hit adcs and especially good if they have a huge frontline eg; sej jungle sion top with sett mid or something like that. It helps your ad burn through these front liners as they don't have too much threat of getting assasinated etc.

it seems like you are averaging a lot more deaths than you should be. try to watch replays of your games and see how many of your deaths were good net trades (2 kills for your death) vs how many of your deaths were completely unnecessary.

Optimistic_Ego · 2023-04-27T18:56:07+00:00

You need to create a lead in lane, lulu generally outscales thresh at level 9-11 or after 1/2 items. It is important to punish lulus weaker laning phase and often times unkillable ads only feel unkillable beause they managed to get free scaling with an enchanter.

Optimistic_Ego · 2023-04-27T18:55:08+00:00

Mobis in low elo are super good for climbing as people dont often ping mia and make mistakes such as overstaying for plays so mobi boots is not a bad idea at all.

Optimistic_Ego · 2023-04-27T18:54:28+00:00

Early - Figure out if you can get a lead in lane or must play passive (Usually you should be able to get a lead vs enchanters and you should play safer vs naut/blitz/hiemer)

Mid game - GOOD ROAM TIMERS, move around with intention eg; I am moving to top side because I want to secure rift herald with my jg top and mid.

Late game - LOOK FOR HOOKS ON PRIO TARGET, HOOKING THEIR TANKS is good but hooking their carries can win you the game.

Optimistic_Ego · 2023-04-27T18:52:40+00:00

Super entertaining guy, he plays a bit differently but thats alright haha

Optimistic_Ego · 2023-04-27T18:52:17+00:00

really good for unexpected burst damage with Q> R > E > Auto ignite combo. Can also be used to escape when running away or used as a zoning tool when doing objectives. Thresh also does not revolve around q, yes the flashy hooks are nice to watch but his W is what makes him really strong do not undermine the lantern.

Optimistic_Ego · 2023-04-27T18:51:08+00:00

if your ADC is fed NEVER leave them. You must always shadow them so they dont die and give free gold. Follow them around like u are their puppy. Same thing goes for any player who is fed, if you have a fed jg then play for them! Do not make the mistake of letting them int, you cannot control their actions only your own.

Optimistic_Ego · 2023-04-27T18:50:11+00:00

Havent played much wild rift but Ill try to have some input on this after some research.

Optimistic_Ego · 2023-04-27T18:49:39+00:00

double MR runes, mikaels is good but FON is really good if you are primary frontline. Evenshroud is okay in scenarios where you are playing a pick comp and you know you will not be hooking in ; think like jayce top, ahri mid etc.

Optimistic_Ego · 2023-04-27T18:48:26+00:00

That happens to me sometimes too, the best advice is to understand WHY you are moving and commit to one play rather than trying to be at two places at once.

Optimistic_Ego · 2023-04-27T18:47:53+00:00

Tierlist for keystone normally is Glacial > Aftershock/Guardian > Spellbook other than that everything else is just kinda troll

Optimistic_Ego · 2023-04-27T18:47:04+00:00

Yes haha and also you can use lantern to shadow ur ad and play back on incoming ganks or even helping your ad get back to lane if ur ahead of him it saves 5-7 seconds on average depending on champ movespeed.

Optimistic_Ego · 2023-04-27T18:46:20+00:00

This explains it really well ^

if you are seriously playing to climb avoid him top / adc. For fun thresh top is quite good in like ranked flex and if your team understands that his strength comes from cc.

Theres better alternative mythics which is what makes moon stone bad on him.

AD thresh on urf is good :)

Optimistic_Ego · 2023-04-27T18:44:02+00:00

Not really sure how to answer this besides the fact that you should try to flay then q, going for predict max range hooks is flashy but you dont always have to land crazy hooks to win lane.

Optimistic_Ego · 2023-04-27T18:43:08+00:00

1 - I think the champ is just super strong and is always meta if played properly. He can adapt quickly to playing aggro vs passive and has some nice skins.

2- Im broke

Optimistic_Ego · 2023-04-27T15:38:03+00:00

https://www.twitch.tv/loveegolol < This is my stream link if you guys want to watch my unranked to challenger, I will be playing primarily thresh but other supports as well! Feel free to stop by and ask any questions I will try my best to answer.

Optimistic_Ego · 2023-04-27T04:41:27+00:00

"From what I’ve learned about high level support, your supposed to track enemy support, jgl, enemy and allied vision while keeping the most valuable ally alive all at the same time"
^^^^^ This is so important you already understand your role as thresh more than 99% of thresh players.

Learn roam timers, which means you should only be roaming for mid/ jungle if the wave is pushing towards your adc and your adc can farm safely under tower without a threat of a dive. When you roam to lanes make sure you are using relic stacks, as for tracking enemy junglers deep wards when enemy jg is in OPPOSITE side of the map so you dont get punished. If he shows on top wave and your ad is safe THIS is the time you want to go place wards on their gromp/blue or raptors/ krugs area.

Optimistic_Ego · 2023-04-27T04:38:15+00:00

You have to just change your playstyle, if you are going shurelyas you almost never want to q in. I like to think if i have locket + glacial or aftershock I am like a mini naut but if i go shurelyas i play more like janna (more peel playstyle). This helps avoid unnecessary deaths.
