I was Nidalee support with an ADC Thresh bot lane. I learned a lot that game, namely Thresh can't play bot ADC. Top? Maybe. Bot? No.

He lacks trading potential versus a competent opponent. His hook doesn't deal much dmg. His lantern deals no dmg and could only be used to save his support, which is dumb because a support with a dead ADC is fairly useless. His knockback is decent dmg, but it's only a one-hit move on a high CD. Unlike most ADC's with long range ULT's, Thresh's ULT is a close range spell, so he has to be in the thick of combat to take full advantage of it, and it's too easy for your opp to Flash out of it.

His cooldowns each at lvl 1 are 18, 22, 19, and 150 secs respectively, which is way too high. Plus, he not only has to last hit, but also worry about collecting souls, which puts him in harms way of ADC pokes and grabs. For support Thresh this isn't a big deal, because opponents aren't as willing to focus supports, but as an ADC, you're way too exposed and vulnerable.

If I ever see ADC bot Thresh, I'm dodging. Just curious if anyone has found a way to make bot ADC viable?
