Thresh Counters

The best champs not in lane to counter Thresh include Kai'Sa, Ziggs, and Zeri. These picks are all great at countering Thresh with high win rates over 57%. Even if these Thresh counter picks are not picked in the same position as you, it's not smart to choose him into these matchups. They will usually beat Thresh.

Yet, if the enemy team picks either Rumble or Brand, Thresh mains should seriously think about choosing him, as he easily beats these champs with win rates over 52% against both ofthem.

Beware of Thresh's early game dominance. He tends to take control of the lane early on, making most of his moves during this stage. One way to counter this is by being defensive and not letting him secure an early health lead.

Thresh's power spikes at levels 2, 6, and 9 are points to watch out for. These are times when he has upgraded abilities that can be lethal. Make sure to maintain distance and wait for these spikes to pass before engaging.

Take advantage of Thresh's squishiness. Despite his dominant presence in the lane, he can be vulnerable. Capitalize on this weakness when he misses a pick and collapse on him with your team.

Thresh's effectiveness relies heavily on landing his Q skillshot. Dodging this skill shot can leave him almost useless in a fight. Adopt a playstyle emphasizing mobility to minimize your chances of being hooked.

Thresh can exert pressure on multiple lanes through roaming. Warding effectively and maintaining good map awareness can help prevent surprise attacks from Thresh and will alert you to his movements across the map.

Thresh falls off as the game progresses, with his power starting to decline around level 16. Make the most of this shift and play a more aggressive game to turn the tide in your favor.

In the later stages of the game, Thresh primarily focuses on peeling for his allies and targeting with his Q. If he misses this ability, the downtime leaves him quite unproductive. Use such times to your advantage to orchestrate successful attacks.
