Aatrox Even Undying ULT makes spending CC abilties on him costly, and peeling him away since he has so much mobility is hard.

Ahri Even Thresh can do a good job of interrupting Ahari when she goes in, easier said than done.

Akali Major Good luck flaying her ULT

Alistar Minor thresh wins lane and can control Alistar at most stages of the game, alistar has the advantage of immediate engage with flash that's about it.

Amumu Minor You can save your allies from him with Lanturn fairly easily, so long that you aren't his Amumu's ULT, or aren't the one that was hit by his Q. Flaying his Q doesn't do much, probably save flay for one of his allies going in after he ULTs

Anivia Even So long that you can flash onto anivia during fights it can be pretty easy to deal with her, since your flay will cancel her ult and set you up for an easy hook. In general anviaia is strong at wave clear, so put her in unconformable macro situations in which she has to move away from a lane into the river / jungle can you can catch her out.

Annie Major Annie mid will likely have enough damage to 1 shot you and the ADC stand next to you. Don't get flashed on. Annie has bad wave clear early so you can maybe start fights in the enemy jungle after your mid pushes out the minion wave mid and annie won't be able to respond easily.

Ashe Even Ashe's W poke is good in lane, and if you aren't careful it's damage will quickly add up, putting you at an uncomfortable amount of HP in which you can't threaten an engage without the enemy being able to easily kill you. Ashe has low mobility to it is easy to catch her out or move onto her in lane and flay her setting you or your ally up . Once Ashe is 6 in lane respect her ULT and be ready for it. Ashe's damge is pretty combo based, if you disengage from her she will lose her Q stacks and maybe press the attack / lethal tempo proc, then rengage instantly before she can stack up again.

Aurelion Sol Even Aurelion Sol makes playing aggresive bot a pain, like from minutes 0 - 12 he probably has the mid lane pushed and can threaten or actually roam bot, watch your mini map or pay the price. In late game fights flashing onto him with a jungler on your lanturn, flaying, and buffering hook has he ults you is the way to end him. In general getting onto him ruins him, playing neutral or defensive is too easy for Aurelion sol.

Azir Major Azir's damage is very good against Thresh, AP DPS super lame. Getting onto him isn't very effective because of his ULT. So try to land a hook on him while he is focusing his DPS on someone. Early roams mid can hurt him.

Bard Even Thresh has major advantage in this lane since Bard has no immediate CC and you do, any time he is in range for an auto attack or Q you an likely punish him. Out of lane you can save allies from his ULT with lanturn. Bard has the advantage on thresh if thresh moves to far forward in the lane and misses everything so don't do that.

Blitzcrank Even It's fairly easy to avoid Blitzcrank's hook in lane so long that you stand in the minion wave. If you are higher level you will dodge his hook attempt then hook blitz.

Brand Even Brand has a strong level 1 - 5 against thresh so basically the early laning phase. Thresh has the advantage of CC over brand, but brand has advantage of punishing thresh when he misses.

Braum Minor Thresh can punish braum in lane by landing hooks on him. If you move to far away from your ADC Braum can turn on you. Be ready to flash either his Q or ULT during fights.

Caitlyn Even Cait has auto attack range on thresh, and she can attack you on neutral ground, forcing you more towards defensive ground. You can flay her E or hook where she is E'ing away too. She also has traps to follow up on her supports CC, so be ready to flash that.

Camille Major Camille jungle has really strong ganks because of her E + flash, even if you flay she can ult and right click twice for a ton of damage, pretty lame. Ward you bush so you don't get level 2 ganked if she starts red on blue side. Be ready to hook her after she ULTs your ADC.

Cassiopeia Even Cass's W is very strong, to catch out thresh as he moves forward. When you are hooking you will face cass and she can ULT you.

Cho'Gath Minor Cho'gath top will be very tanky, so spending hook or flay on him might not be very high value unless he is alone. The Box helps against Cho'gath rushing your AD more than anything.

Corki Major Corki does mixed damage, but mostly magic damage, if corki gets farmed before the mid game he will deal tons of damage to you. Even if you complete an early locket you're going to feel his damage. You can interrupt Corki's W with Flay.

Darius Major Darius's damage is very good against Thresh, True damage execute can take you out from around 30% HP. To protect your AD you have to land a good ULT, The Box slow is very strong, but it's hard to land. Darius has no

Diana Even Thresh dismantles Diana, you can flay her engage. Aim your ULT behind your ally to land a hook on Diana as she is ULTing.

Dr. Mundo Tiny Land an ULT to slow him, ignite him to negate his ULT.

Draven Major Darven has no gap closer which is nice, but he has a move quick ability which assist him in dodging non-flay hooks. Draven is a champion that can punish you when you miss too. Most will run conquer when proc'd it's true damage quickly melts Thresh.

Ekko Even Watch for Mid Lane Ekko roams after his first recall. Be mindful of spending abilities on him, or where he can ULT back too.

Elise Major Elise can gank early and often, burst Thresh very hard, and all of your abilties are almost worthless against Elise, you can save your ally with lanturn, but if she gets onto you flay hook barely helps. If you can read the fog of war or her early path you will be ganked out of the game.

Evelynn Minor Evelynn's only gap closer is her ULT so when caught out she has to spend that important long cool down, and you can buffer hook towards where she is ulting too. Guardian + lanturn shield negates a lot of her burst onto your ADC. Read the fog of war once she is 6 and invisible and expect her to show up to fights. Control ward in the bot lane bush helps spot her too.

Ezreal Even Ezreal has basically the longest range of most bot lane ADCs because of his Q. But his auto attack is short range, you can punish him when he is auto attacking the wave because of this short range you can gain distance on him. When throwing a hook try to read where he is going to E towards. You can also body block his Q + W damage for your ally in fights. If you don't respect his poke in lane than you will be put at about 60% HP and be pretty useless.

Fiddlesticks Major Fiddlesticks jungle is pretty easy to deal with if you engage onto him with an ally. But if he is engaging onto your allies, a lanturn probably doesn't help because of the fear duration. And hooking / flaying Fiddlesticks during his ult is also not that effective. The best tools you have against fiddlesticks is wards, and expect him to ULT say over dragon or baron wall.

Fiora Major Fiora has good damage value's against Thresh. When trying to peel her you have to play around her Riposte, which will block your CC and stun any targets she targets with it. It's quite the game of chicken to hold or spend your hook / flay into this. Good luck.

Fizz Even You get a lot of value by holding your abilties against fizz until he uses E. Try to block his ULT during crucial fights. You block a good amoutn of his damage with Guardian, and repositioning allies with lanturn negates him.

Galio Extreme All your abilities suck against a Galio with aftershock running. Most likely don't spend abilities on him, rather avoid him and work around him, better to finish him off at the end of a fight rather than at the start.

Gangplank Major Another Solo laner you don't get to touch until about 20 minutes into the game. He can cleanse hook, a flay box can disrupt him but it's hard to get onto and when you do you bait yourself and your allies into his barrels / ult.

Garen Tiny Box + Flay slow Garen, making him pretty useless. Pay attention to his ULT target, if you can block it's damage with lanturn or guardian you can likely save them, also Garen can silence a target so they can't take a lanturn.

Gnar Even Gnar's engage is pretty telegraphed. If you catch Gnar out while he is mini it's easier to kill him.

Gragas Minor Thresh beats Gragas Support hard, you negate his body slam with flay. If you catch him out with hook it's an easy kill since you get onto him and block his body slam away.

Graves Even Aim hook towards his dash or ult location.

Hecarim Minor Be ready to lanturn your ally away from his engage. Flay hook doesn't stop his ULT

Heimerdinger Extreme Can block your hook with turrets. When you get onto him he drops his big turret and stuns you. If you land a long range hook it's good, but easier said than done. You can feint an engage onto him and lanturn your ally away then rengage for the best outcome.

Illaoi Even Thresh's CC is really strong aginst illoi since she needs to be casting abilities to get her tentacle damage off, but don't get hit by the tentacles. Ignite also negates her healing.

Irelia Major So long that you dodge her stun you can peel Irelia fairly easily. Pay attention to her dashes and aim your hook to where she is going, not where she is. If you can flay a Q as well you are really good.

Ivern Even Daisy blocks hooks, and ivern shields really extend fights which isn't good for thresh. If you can single him out it's ok, but make sure a carry isn't near him to turn on you and your carries when you spend CC on Ivern.

Janna Tiny Janna will always be under threat of Thresh's CC. Janna's only advantage is turning onto thresh with his ADC. The laning phase is fairly easy, but if Janna doesn't get punished during the laning phase see gets stronger and stronger the later the game goes on.

Jarvan IV Minor Thresh can flay J4's E+Q. You can lanturn allies out of his ULT. Care for his E+Q Flash gank.

Jax Even Peeling Jax is a pain late game. Since his cooldowns are low. Stay back to assist your carries rather than moving onto jax.

Jayce Even Jax poke can be strong and unexpect mid game, when araming or fighting in a lane put your eyes further to see him and expect it. When Jayce jumps onto a champion his damage happens quickly, so if you are going to peel you have to do it quickly.

Jhin Even Jhin has a strong laniing phase VS Thresh, although he has no gap closer he gains lot of movement speed, and can poke thresh out. Care for his Q bounce in lane. And expect his W follow up on his allies CC. You can maybe catch Jhin out when he is ULTing or casting W , those are about his only frame locks.

Jinx Even Jinx can have good push on the minion wave, but does so slowly early. You have a lot of advantage against her levels 1-4 make use of it.

Kai'Sa Major Kai'sa's damage is very lame for thresh. When you move forward in lane she can 1 auto to proc fleet of footwork to run away and get an isolated Q. She has tons of options of where to ULT so reading that with a hook is hard / a gamble. She is very weak on neutral ground in the laning phase so abuse that. Holding hook is strong against her.

Kalista Tiny October/30/2018 Kalista is in an almost useless state she is very squishy and doesn't do much damage. Walk up flay ignite. Hook to where she's dashing too.

Karma Minor Karma has a strong levels 1-4 dodge her mantra Q or lose lane. Catch her out on vision she shouldn't be able to walk in the river.

Karthus Even Refillable potion gains extra value since you can heal his ULTS throughout the match.

Kassadin Major If you can get a gank off on Kass pre-6 it can break open the game. Other than that it's hard to impact that lane as Thresh. Once he is level 16 good luck lanturning your ally away during fights.

Katarina Even Katarina is fairly easy to deal with. Flay her ult. aim hook behind your allies or where she is likely to E away too. If you waste CC during a fight you invite her in to kill your carries.

Kayle Even Lock down stops her DPS. Expect her ULT on herself or an ally before all in'ing.

Kayn Minor Kayne has a slow early game, if you have any sort of competent jungler you can take over the early game with them before kayne can have an impact.

Kennen Extreme Be very defensively positioned to lanturn an ally away from a Kennen flash ULT engage. Kennen is very small so really pay attention to his face when throwing hooks.

Kha'Zix Even You can Flay Kha'zix out of his jump. Naturally standing next to your carry negates his isolation damage.

Kindred Extreme Kindred's really lame, if you can lock her down and burst her before she can ULT that's nice, but most likely that won't be the case. Try and

Kled Even Watch the top lane when he is level 6, after a reset he can have the option to gank bot lane with his ULT. Consider holding abilities for after kled dismounts.

Kog'Maw Minor Kog'Maw takes a long time to scale, and even if he does if you land a hook he's probably dead. In lane avoid his W damage, and look for trades when it's down.

LeBlanc Even You can Flay Leblanc's W. Hook to where he is going to W back.

Lee Sin Major You have the tools to interupt his engage, but it's hard to pull off. Practice. Practice. Practice. Flay blocks his Q damage.

Leona Major Thresh has adavantage over a bad Leona, a good Leona has advantage over Thresh, her immediate flash stun is pretty unplayable. And you can't prod her like other supports wasting hook.

Lissandra Minor Hold abilities against Lissandra during her engage, most likely spend it on her allies trying to follow up. Watch for her roams early game.

Lucian Even October/30/2018 , In lucian's current state his full combo kills you so easily. It's really lame, so don't miss you engage.

Lulu Even Lulu has high good damage levels 1 - 4. Don't get poked out by her Q. Her W can interrupt you being able to cast abilities thwarting engages. Like all enchanters she is easily abused by the fog of war & threat.

Lux Extreme A Good lux mid is actually almost unplayable for thresh. She out ranges you by a ton. If you can catch her out on vision or by baiting objectives it's the best way to take her out. But don't try for aggressive hooks in an aram situation against her or she will Q and her team / she will kill you.

Malphite Even Don't spend CC on Malphite, be ready to lanturn a carry away from his ULT. Expect him during team fights or pay the price.

Malzahar Even Malzahar can solo ULT you. QSS helps but is quite the expensive buy. His spell shield will block the CC from your hook, but you can take the hook onto him.

Maokai Major Thresh's abilities don't stop him much. ULT helps against him like most tanks. But if Maokai is weak it's easy to solo him out and kill him.

Master Yi Tiny Master Yi has low impact early, you are your jungler should be able to run the map against him. Late game even if Master yi is fed Hook and flay are really hard for him to deal with.

Miss Fortune Minor Miss Fortunes damage is pretty low in lane, and even if she lands her make it rain, she still has to respect your hook. So feint approaches until she missteps is a good way to play out the solo queue lane.

Mordekaiser Even Slow and easy to lock down. Don't fight him in the minion wave early though, in a standard ADC matchup wait for Morde to spend his W, then maybe catch him out, but after first back you probably have advantage in an all in, in lane.

Morgana Even Morg is considered a counter to Thresh, but thresh wins this matchup, you always have advantage of the target to hook she can only black shield one person so hook the other.Avoid her Q / flash past it in all ins.

Nami Major A good nami beats thresh because she can play forwards early levels, then behind her ADC post 6, and any time you land anything she can send a wave. Try to single her or her ADC out, also roaming / control vision is an easy way to catch out any enchanter support.

Nasus Minor Use the box for slow and flay. Don't hook him into your team for peel if nasus is strong.

Nautilus Major Thresh wins the lane against Nautilus Support early, but post 6 Nautilus has the advantage to start a fight with his UTL at any time, basically putting you on lanturn duty, and if you move forward and are the target he ults you probably die.

Nidalee Minor Nidalee can out pace a lot of junglers so be weary of unexpected ganks, especially if the enemy is a CC support that can set her up.

Nocturne Even You can use the F keys , F1, F2, F3, etc. To hover over your allies, doing this allows you to see where nocturne is ULTing too from his Q animation. Lanturn away your ally if he gets onto them, be weary of his spell shield get close range and channel hook so he channels spell shield then flay to cancel the spell shield.

Nunu & Willump Minor Nunu can have some unquie Ganks, but unless he proc's aftershock or guardian he is pretty vulnerable. So landing a hook onto him can result in a kill since he has no escape.

Olaf Major Olaf basically demotes you to a lanturn bot if he is ahead. Play accordingly. Don't spend CC on his ULT. Really be mindful of his gank timings.

Orianna Even It's not usually a Thresh's job to single out an oriana, but if you can that's great during fights. But it's tricky to approach her she has very strong neutral play. So probably try to catch her in the fog of war rather than hand shaking an aram fight against her.

Ornn Major Ornn's ability to interrupt fights with his ULT is very lame for Thresh, lantern can save 1 ally from his ULT but not all. Ornn isn't wildly tanky though, so if you single him out with a hook he can be brought down during a fight.

Pantheon Minor Flay negates pantehton's W stun and damage. Be mindful of his ULT and lanturn away allies who aren't / weren't .

Poppy Even Poppy's W will block an ally from taking Lanturn and thresh traveling on his hook.

Pyke Tiny Thresh beats Pyke very hard. You can cancel his hook with Flay or hook. You can interupt his E with Flay. If you catch him out with a hook and ignite he's probably dead. Pyke gains advantage in scattered fights and if Thresh loses control.

Quinn Even Quin has good damage, but Thresh has the tools to dismantle her. Her roams can get her ahead, don't try to match them most likely. Push down your lane. Flay her jump or channel hook since she is locked in place with her jump.

Rakan Minor Rakan can poke you down with Q in lane avoid that. Flay his ULT W and W. When you hook rakan he will be able to E away to his ally.

Rammus Major Flay to cancel his Q. Expect him to flash onto you or your ally during ganks.

Rek'Sai Even Rek'sai knock up stops someone traveling on Thresh's lantern.

Renekton Minor Flay will interrupt renektons dash, and you can buffer hook or flay before his W stun. Ignite also helps against his ULT health gain and healing.

Rengar Even Such a coin flip, if he is mega fed he kills you in 1 jump, if not he's barely a champion. You can flay his jump but you need mega reaction time. Don't spend hook on Rengar if he has max stacks and can cleanse it.

Riven Even Buffering a hook before rivens flash engage is your best play. Other than that track her in fights to know how to control her.

Rumble Even Don't play around objectives when rumble's ult is up.

Ryze Extreme Ryze get's tons of speed if he gets to cast abilities on you, so when you land a hook hopefully your allies can burst him before he dumps abilities and speeds away

Sejuani Tiny Lanturn is your best tool against sejuani, be on defensive ground and don't be the one to get engaged on by her, you can't save yourself.

Shaco Extreme If fed like rengar he can Q 1 auto e and kill your AD so ya, if not he's pretty useless better jungle wins. Landing a Q when he stealths will reveal him.

Shen Major Shen top respect his ULT during 2v2s bot lane, look at top lane an judge if you can go for a fight. Shen support has advantage to flash taunt you or your ADC when the enemy jungler is ganking or just during 2v2s so be mindful of that. You can flay Shen's taunt.

Shyvana Even The box really shuts down a shyvana with no ULT flay doesn't cancel her ULT, you can hit a hook during shyvana ult then follow her and flay.

Singed Even when singed is approaching for a guaranteed engage use ULT The box, but if it's a feint you can easily waste it. Spending abilities on Singed unless he is singled out is probably bad.

Sion Extreme Work around Sion in team fights, don't focus him. You can cancel his Q with Flay or hook, but probably use flay since it's faster.

Sivir Major Sivir will always have the push on the minion wave most likely and Spell shield means you can land neutral hooks. To land a hook on her get very close channel hook then flay to spend her spell shield and then the hook will connect.

Skarner Minor Lanturn an ally to safety after he ULTs them, and flay him away during his approach. If you get ULT'd yourself use ULT the box before you die.

Sona Tiny Sona has very lose health early levels. Really try to focus her down during the lane, an hook + ignite and she's gone.

Soraka Even Respect Soraka's level 1-4. Don't entertain trades or else you put yourself on the back foot of the entire laning phase. Later and later into the matchup she is still hard to kill when engaging onto her so take good fights not forced ones.

Swain Major Avoid him during his ULT, single him out when it's down.

Syndra Major Don't get hit by her stun, don't attempt neutral hooks because he stun is so strong and easy to hit. Try to catch her out in the fog of war

Tahm Kench Minor Single out Tahm, if you hook his ally he can eat them. But if you hook and box him he it's very bad for him.

Taliyah Even If you can bring an ally on top of her with lanturn that's the best way to take her out. Care for her ganks at all stages of the match.

Talon Extreme Watch for talon roams early game. ward in your jungle to spot him.

Taric Tiny Taric is mega terriable in lane. If you land a hook his retaliation sucks so you can likely run him down. Even approaching with flay first as he channels E you can buffer hook as his E stuns you.

Teemo Extreme Teemo is small, hard to hit, deals a lot of damage and litters the river with shrooms. Buy control wards and make good use of sweeper. When rotating from bot to top or when farming a side lane with your ADC expect him to pop up because of his passive.

Tristana Tiny Tristana takes a lot of time to scale, you can flay her jump, she can buffer jump on your hook though. But a hook cancels her jump as well. Abuse her levels 1-2 then all in level 4.

Trundle Minor The Box ULT negates trundle, Trundles pillar can be very effective against thresh, but most likely not.

Tryndamere Tiny Be ready to lanturn your ally away from him then hook him as he spins into your team, thresh's lock down gives your team enough time to out last his ULT.

Twisted Fate Even Respect TF's ULT post level 6, be watching mid. It's better to lanturn away an ally that gets gold carded rather than you being the target so consider playing defensively

Twitch Minor Expect Twitch to stealth into bot lane often. You can hook him as he stealths or is in stealth to reveal him. Disengaging fights as Twitch is ULTing then rengage. Twitch has very short range so you can easily abuse him in lane.

Udyr Tiny Udyr is barely a champion. You can buffer flay to Udyr's E stun.

Urgot Even Avoid Urgot when he has his W up, then look to CC him.

Varus Even Varus is short range, but has good combo damage. So long that you avoid his E during the lane you will have a lot of opportunities to punish him pre 6.

Vayne Major It's hard to punish vayne early game because of her tumble. Condeem can thwart your forward movement and mess up your abilities. Vayne's true damage is very effective against Thresh. Once Vayne gets going in a fight too it's hard for Thresh to single handedly lock her down.

Veigar Even Respect Veigar's neutral game and abuse him when his E is down. If you tank his ULT it should be good for your team.

Vel'Koz Even Velkoz support has ok poke in lane, so respect it levels 1-4, then look for neutral hook punishes when velkoz is frame locked casting Q, or flash flay hook to force if their summoner spells are down.

Vi Minor Helping allies that are getting Vi ulted is very easy all Thresh's abilities work well. Flay cancel's Vi's Q channel / cast.

Viktor Even Viktor is very quick, wait until he channels an auto attack to throw a hook.

Vladimir Extreme Vlad gets max stacks, activates spell binder and cast E W flashes on top of your carry then ult ignites, what do you do lol. Gank him early, or be ready to lanturn your ally.

Volibear Tiny Flay to cancel his charge. Ignite to negate voli passive.

Warwick Tiny Flay or Hook cancel Warwick's ULT , warwick Q beats hook and flay though so respect that timing.

Wukong Even Be behind your ally to lanturn, flaying wukong's e probably doesn't matter as he can still flash auto Q ult

Xayah Major Xayah is short range but can push the minion wave early and fight early with her W active, so long that you take fights when her abilities are down you can win, but a straight up fight early is hard. Watch for her feather call back. After landing a hook post 6 expect her ULT and walk past her and then flay / box.

Xerath Even Move well. Hook when Xerath is ULTing or channeling Q.

Xin Zhao Minor Xin Zhao has bad ganks against Thresh, flay really shuts him down.

Yasuo Even Windwall blocks Thresh's Hook. You can interrupt Yasuo's ULT with flay.

Yorick Extreme Yorick is actually very good against Thresh, his damage is very strong, his ghouls block hooks, and all Thresh can do is kite away from him.

Zac Tiny Flay cancels Zac's jump.

Zed Minor Very easy to interrupt Zed if you are on your ADC when he goes in.

Ziggs Even Don't aram against Ziggs, feint objectives and catch him out over walls with hooks.

Zilean Extreme Zilean mid makes Thresh's job very hard, hold your abilities for a long time during fights until you can get very high value out of them. Zilean support makes the bot lane play out a big slower but you can open up the game if you kill him pre-6.

Zoe Minor If you hook zoe in her ult she will go back but you can follow her.
