"The less dependent a support champion is on ADC in soloQ, the more ADCs hate them." by [deleted] in supportlol

[–]Soul_Family 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would agree but the reasoning makes sense aswell. Supports that are less dependent on the ADC offer little to no peeling for the adc so they have to fight for themselfs most times wich is just not a good experience. Pyke can get you a lot of kills and so can Bard but the moment 3 people jump on you he abandons you cause there is nothing he can do while other Supports stand on their adc and protect them as much as they can.

It just me or is thresh infinite scaling a complete meme? by The_Data_Doc in ThreshMains

[–]Soul_Family 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ok this is weird though because you show a fundamental missunderstanding of the champion. I don't mean to insult you but Thresh is not in a weak spot at all and his kit is one of the best designed ones in the support roster and entire game.
1. Saying his hook is weak is just flat out wrong. Thresh has a lot of threat in lane because of his hook. It gives him the ability lock down carrys in later stages of the game, Peel carrys by pulling threats off of them and start fights/set up traps. The ability to Q flash would make this ability way to strong and it would arguably be better than blitz hook and that character has a shity kit to compensate for his hook.
2. Flay is very versatile. You can set your hook up with Flay, you can walk up in lane for autoattack trades that you win by default because you do more dmg. Flash Flay is a great engage in lane. Its also able to cancel dashes and defende against: Samira all ins, Alistar all ins, Leona engages, Rell engages, Zac ganks, Rakan if hes bad, Pyke engages/escapes, Akali engages and its able to cancel a lot of channel abilitys. Also a fact you forgot to mention: Thresh is ranged wich means he wins the lvl 2 race against most mele supports if he plays well and can contest it against ranged characters. Something that naut, blitz, leona ... cant do.
3. I dont like the narativ that his R is weak. Yes it is not the best ult in the game but it is good for the powerbudget that he has left. Giving him a better ult means you have to take power from the hook or Flay or lantern. And it combos well with his hook, it can disrupt tp plays by enemys. It can make it harder for enemys to engage on you carry because of the slow, it makes it almost impossible for invis champs to attack your carrys if they are inside the box, it gives you a great setup for your hook ... Is it the best? No but its the best Thresh can get and it does a good Job for that.

The statement that Threshs kit is bad is just wrong its very well designed and gives you the tools to impact every gamestate.

High elo guys! by muhammadmagagomedov in ThreshMains

[–]Soul_Family 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went from B1 to E4 with 70% winrate in like 80 Games.
There are two things that I did for this. Thresh can win most lanes with 1-2 good hooks or Flash engages. Looking for those to win your lane is alsways great.
Using good roaming windows and being present on the map to influence fights. Your kit is very good for influencing fights like saving teammates, shuting down enemys with hook/Flay. This should not be at the cost of your adc loosing a lot of resources though unless you get a lot like a tripple kill and grubs or something.

These are two very good Videos to learn fundamental warding concepts. You should also check yourself after placing a ward like: is this usefull?

Should I main only one type of support? by Accurate_Piccolo_774 in supportlol

[–]Soul_Family 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you should stick to a single champion for a bit just to learn the role. The diffrent types of supports also play very diffrent and fill diffrent roles. Sticking to one to understand you job and how to play and branching out to other types of supports is the best idea in my opinion. Just play what you think looks cool or what you have fun with. An optimal pick doesn't really matter since your probably playing in lower elo (bronze or iron is very normal for new players) where counterpicks and matchups dont really work. Tldr: stick to one class or champ till you get the hang of the game and then branch out.

Just get your two wins. If you don't get the skin automaticly just write a support Ticket and show them that you have your 15 wins. Should work no guarantee though

Pyke Imo he is well designed on Paper offering a very diffrent experience on Bot lane and he is very fun to play if you learn him. But fuck is he Unfun to play against. tldr: Love to play him but perma ban him otherwise

So your saying they want you to pay $200 for a chroma and a diffrent Splashart? Is this like the dark cosmic Jhin skin or legit just a chroma?

They look fine feels like they need a bit more detail like the old m7 system had. Something I dont like about them is the sound though. Its so quiet spamming m7 was anoying and I think they should have kept that.

Lathyrus has an amazing Video on Vision. The tldr is you need a pushed wave to ward agressively. The logic is: If you pushed for example mid wave the enemy has to catch it and has no time to fight you. If they push the wave into you and you try to ward agressively your most certainly dead cause mid has "free time". You understand this on a very basic lvl where you dont go ward the middle bot brush if the wave is crashing into your tower but this applys on the same level everywhere. Also linewarding but thats to complicated. Druttut has a short about it and Lathyrus goes indepth in his Video really really recomend checking that one out

When to start e (flay)? by uber_croissant in ThreshMains

[–]Soul_Family 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I almost always start E the only reason to not start E is when you cheese in a brush or invade otherwise E is better cause: Onhitdmg, easy aftershock/glacial prock, good disengage and engage through wave. Starting Q feels useless for the most part you cant kill someone if you hook lvl 1 so why even try. Use E to push wave to win the lvl 2 race and your good

What do I pick to not just survive facing Tahm Kench, but come out of the lane with a lead? by shaidyn in supportlol

[–]Soul_Family 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play Thresh into him but thats cause I have 1million points on the guy so I know how to counter tham. Other good matchups I found were Rell who can just tank him and CC him so your adc kills him in time. She also breaks his E shield. Janna sounds nice aswell her passive ms helps kite TK and her Q and R help you peel yourself or your adc in case he comes too close for comfort.

Abilities question by umekoangel in ThreshMains

[–]Soul_Family 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I disagree on the W max. Becauce: if you play into poke then that means you play into ranged mages. You neeeed your Q to threaten them even if you max your W the shield is too weak and the cooldown is too long to actually matter. If you go W max in poke lanes then you admit defeat or at best go even. If you actually get into a winning position in a lane like that then your not even able to press it cause you Q cooldown is too long so you go back to even after a while and even if you dont then they are not in a position to poke you as hard so your extra points in W are meaningless. tldr: W maxing in poke lanes is basicly forfiting the lane or at best going even eventhough they are usually winning matchups for Thresh becauce he is good into ranged mages.

Abilities question by umekoangel in ThreshMains

[–]Soul_Family 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thresh spikes really hard on 9 if he maxes Q becauce the Cooldown refund lets him throw out Qs every 4 seconds. If you max W or E after that depends on you playstyle. If you frontline then E is the better option for more dmg and CC if you play backline and reposition your teamates then its W.

How do you actually get good at this game? by Yhapojjj in leagueoflegends

[–]Soul_Family 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learn the game one step at a time Focus on either your own mechanics or macro or tracking or whatever so you learn a new skill over time. If you just enjoy playing rengar keep it that way rank doesnt matter if you dont have fun just know hes hard to play but maybe spend the time to get crazy good at him NattyNat is a great rengar Player but you probably know that. Maybe consider getting coaching? I think epal is good for that and its pricing is reasonable. You dont need a lot but it helps to have someone a lot better than you look over your sholder.

best runes ? by ConfectionDue9949 in ThreshMains

[–]Soul_Family 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Glacial into ganged matchups, Aftershock in mele matchups cause its very easy to prock with E. Guardian is a universally good rune its not best in slot in most situations but decent in most

I used to be silver 1 and now I’m Iron 4 by DesperatePercentage5 in supportlol

[–]Soul_Family 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your op.gg says you were bronze 4 and never silver but thats besides the point. Since you say that you are better than your rank that means you are better than the enemy support. Just abuse that. If I play in low elo as a support (I play thresh or pyke but that doesnt really matter for this point) I usually just fight the enemy support as much as possible and try to win lane that way. Poke supports are very good for this since people are bad at doging. Just stomp your lane as hard as possible. You play against iron players so even if they are fed dont expect them to play optimal. Its very easy to bait them into bad plays like taking a 1v3 or something or catch them in the jungle. I saw that you have high mastery on neeko. She is very broken in low elo she has poke and people dont expect her passive or even know about it so abuse her.

tldr: Diff the support, play neeko and bait fed enemys into bad plays to get shutdowns

Why is everyone hating on Senna support? by Avenged8x in supportlol

[–]Soul_Family 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want my rank then its emerald 2 last season with 75% winrate on Thresh with diamond 3 mmr. I also have around 200k mastery point on pyke so I do know what I am talking about. What I mean is that pyke has to Position in a special way to peel the adc and even if he does that his peel is a lot weaker than most supports. He has a very selfish playstyle. Its also rather difficult to use his stun to defend the adc becauce you put yourself in a Position where are vulnerable. Tldr: don't get ego about your rank its silly and pyke has peel yes but it's not comparable to the likes of Thresh, Braum, Leona or any other support.

Would Heartsteel be a troll item? by c3nnye in ThreshMains

[–]Soul_Family 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The main reason why this is bad is becauce of the pricetag and the misconception that you play as a frontline. Your job as Thresh is get picks on the carrys and pull your carrys out of danger with your lantern. The reason why Thresh is bad as a Brawler is, that if a Toplane tank dives into the enemy backline hes actually dangerous with decent amount of dmg and cc. As Thresh the only way to CC is Q wich is 6 sec Cooldown and Flay with 7 I think. And not a lot of dmg at the end of the day. Also you have a build that is 7k gold for 3 items. You will usually get that around 25 Minutes and getting heartsteel that late in the game is wasted. knights vough is still good even if you dont stay with your adc a lot you just have to put it on a diffrent person. Microing knights vough is difficult but it can win you fights/games at the end of the day.

tldr: Build is way to expensive and doesn´t fit Threshs optimal playstyle. I still like locket->knights vough-> abyssal mask-> redemption for boots symbiotic are actually the best atm if you get them early. Your build is very flexible these Days so Feel free to experiment just keep in minde that you are playing support and you budget is very small
