How to play Thresh Support

Pick Thresh support with an aggressive ADC or when the enemy lacks hard engage and you can control river with hooks.
Death Sentence (Q) plus Flay (E) wins level 2: land the hook, walk up for Flay, and save Dark Passage (W) for all-in follows once you skill it at level 3.
Common mistake: hooking without minion wave advantage. Fix it by trading when you have a numbers or level lead in lane.

Thresh Support guide

Thresh support is a hook-first engage support built around Death Sentence (Q), Flay (E), and The Box (R): bind a target with Death Sentence and pull them toward you, use Flay to knock them further out of position, then wall off the fight with The Box while Dark Passage (W) keeps your carry safe and Damnation (passive) banks permanent Armor and Ability Power off every nearby death.

The build

Rune page: Aftershock, Font of Life, Bone Plating, and Unflinching (Resolve), with Biscuit Delivery and Cosmic Insight (Inspiration). Summoners: Flash and Ignite. Skill order opens Death Sentence (Q) at level 1, then maxes Death Sentence (Q) first with Flay (E) second. Starter: two Health Potions, into Boots of Swiftness. Core build: Locket of the Iron Solari, Knight's Vow, Zeke's Convergence, with Solstice Sleigh, Celestial Opposition, and Frozen Heart as later options.

Ability mechanics

Death Sentence (Q) binds an enemy in chains and pulls them toward Thresh, and a second cast instead pulls Thresh to the enemy. Flay (E) has attacks that wind up, dealing more damage the longer he waits between them, and its active sweeps his chain to knock every enemy hit in the direction of the blow. The Box (R) forms a prison of walls that slow and deal damage to anyone who breaks through them, while Dark Passage (W) throws a lantern that shields nearby allies and lets them dash to Thresh.

Matchups

Hardest matchups by win rate: Seraphine, Senna, Leona, Karma, Nautilus. Best matchups: Lulu, Nami, Pyke.
