^ I guess that goes to show how versatile he is as a carry, because I complete disagree with you.

I have found Thresh has a reasonable success rate against Caitlyn and Ezreal - far from them countering him. In fact, aside from Miss Fortune, I'd say his win-probability is entirely based on the support. While I'm not saying he would win a 1v1 lane against every carry; in a 2v2 he doesn't lose because of the carry (except MF).

I would never get Sorcerer's Boots, and I rush attack speed: my first item is Statikk Shiv. If I'm doing averagely I will complete Berserker's Greaves, otherwise I will go straight into Infinity Edge from Statikk Shiv. If I'm doing badly, I will usually get a Vampiric Scepter or Doran's Blade before building Infinity Edge. Statikk Shiv + Death Sentence can easily half-health at this stage, and with 6 he has almost a 1-hit-combo.
