meh if I'd have to make a guess people hate thresh for his infinite scaling, people seem to hate everything that can even remotely do that even though thresh has the weakest in that respect compared to Nasus/Veigar/Sion. Secondly most players seem to completly rely on flash for everything, Thresh's w screws over the whole "I got flash so I can catch up" or "If the jungler wants to come he needs to use flash" mind-set which a lot of players seem to have as it has a much longer range. Third his damage is heavily overrated. O noes he gets a 100 bonus damage on his AA, but has no AS, no penetration and no other offensive stats so really the best that gives him is a 70 or so bonus damage per hit on the squishiest of targets after damage reduction, all of whom can kill him before he does more than 2 or 3 hits. Not to mention the time it takes to gather up souls.

Leona has better CC, Nasus/Veigar/Sion all have better scaling, Taric has better armor unless you play for multiple hours, Blitz is more disruptive & has a far easier time pulling of his engage. Frankly Thresh would need much better scaling on his souls, or at least acces to half decent items, to become even remotely OP.
