I know Tresh can collect souls to gain armor and mr but not gaining any armor/level still seems a bit odd to me.

because he is classified as a support so no amr/lvl

Thresh welcome to the perma-ban champion list... lol

Nice kit.  Very versatile.

Passive means a heavy snowball champ, both ways.  If you do well, you get more souls, if you do poor, you get less.

Poor scaling + poor base + free AP. = moderate base and poor scaling.  Death cap is even stronger though.

Q (passive): Carry quality multiplier.  Has an odd balance between wanting attack speed and AD.

Q (active):  Versatile Initiator.  Though perhaps a bit unreliable as a skill shot.

W: Amazing support, if your allies are used to it.  Possibly making him the best support for dash-carries like xin, trist, and jax.  Drop your lantern next to the target, they can rush in, be shielded, and jump back out.  Letting you pick up orbs means it's a your first pick.

E: A quality escape/chase tool.

R: His worst ability.  It may do absolutely nothing with a nice flash (or against EZ), will rarely hit more then 1 enemy, and the CD is horrible.  A full AP build, would do pretty good damage (since you'd get full bonus from your passive multiplied by rabidons), but you'd be too squishy for such a short range.  At best, it's another chase/escape tool.

I'm having a hard time seeing him in a full support role.  His W is great for lane, and his CC will really help any gank, and his passive helps him get some "free" stuff (though poor ratio's and no scaling counter much of it), but later he's going to need at least some gold.  He just doesn't have the range, (and doesn't directly target allies), to ignore defenses and sit behind his allies like lulu/sona/janna can do.  So he either needs to go mid/top.  Or only start out as support, but later farm.

His push is also poor with only 1 AoE skill, and his AD multiplier being magic.

The only item i don't see working too well is crit and armor pen, as all his stuff is magic damage.  Otherwise, tank, AP, AD, AS, CDR, aura's, are all good options.  Abysal seems like it would be core no matter what way you take him.  Nashor's would also be hard to pass up.

His poor base AD is made trivial with his Q passive, which I highly recommend you take first regardless of lane for CSing or grabbing the enemy ADC if you're support. He's not a support in the same sense as Lulu/Sona/Janna either, he's the reverse Leona.

Pull shit to you, drop the box and stop them from leaving. Means they need to pop flash to escape, and you can also do stuff like drop it, then snag a pull onto someone to pull them through a wall, or if they're in the box, pop W to throw them through a wall.

Q is a skill shot and will be blocked my minions.  Lantern would be first for support.

But yea, if your going ADC instead of support, then your first point is in Q.

1. He shouldn't be going ADC.
2. You should grab Q first since it is Blitz lvl annoying/death trap. 

Poor base? He has some of the highest base HP and HP5 in the game.

Have you seen Leona/Blitz?

Actuallly, i hope Thresh won´t be forsaken as many other champions like Karma,Syndra and...Sion. His mechanism seems pretty good and let´s see it in the fields of justice. Welcome Thresh!

Can someone test if you can pull teammates while recalling or teleporting?

Since it's an interaction that your team mates have to start I don't think it should cancel teleport or recall.

So, maybe you can run Teleport Thresh and be able to recal and teleport team mates with you?

That would probably be a bug and they would fix it, but would be very interesting to see it happen. xD

Teleport 4 man gank top! Bringing your ADC to buy and insta return to the lane!

Don't forget the homeguard boots.

Im glad they reverted the Amumu nerf, sure Amumu ult is damn good but then again its what Amumu is, and besides Amumu still got his weaknesses (easely counter jungeled) so he didnt diserve the nerf imo.

Better yet im glad they didnt nerf Ryze, but instead buffed him abit, Ryze is a strong champ but look at his winrates, they are awefull, not that winrates is everything but he didnt diserve a nerf for sure.

to me its looks like a little ryze nerf. sure the 0.5% he lost on his  q are now on his w but w is on a much longer cd and therefor ryze loses dps. mana cost reduce on his q doesnt matter at all since mana is almost a non factor on ryze.  

Wait, I've gotta correct both of you here. The changes shown above are considering the last PBE Ryze, not the live Ryze. In the previous PBE patch they already reduced Q's mana scaling from 6.5% to 6% and bumped up the mana cost to +5 per rank.

So what they actually did here is nerfing his q ratio by a whopping 1%. They didn't touch the mana cost which would have been a cruel nerf indeed, as Ryze really suffers early mana problems. Plus, once you got Muramana (which should always be prefered over Archangel's Staff), bumping up Q's mana cost would have been another damage nerf.

To sum things up, Ryze got nerfed here. Late game he lost about 40 damage per Q which equals about 36 DPS (theoretically you should be able to cast one Q every 1.1 seconds). Pretty huge if you're asking me.
