Lich Bane Rabadon isn't exactly a normal Thresh build though :p Wouldn't use lich bane on him regardless his CD's aren't particularly fit for it. Though it would give him reasonable burst I suppose.

As for 1v1 vs Trynda, Trynda should win really. Even if thresh can build specificly against him. Early on Trynda should outtrade & outsustain him, if Thresh tries to poke, just engage on him your spin more than closes the gap, and if thresh tries to disengage your slow can keep you on him, plus you have higher movementspeed anyway. Mid-game Trynda probably wins thanks to his ultimate buying him enough time to kill Thresh. Late game with a specialized anti-Trynda build it becomes a close call.. not sure how quickly Thresh will be able to force Trynda to use his ulti, I suspect either Thresh won't have the damage to actually beat Trynda or lack the defenses to survive his ultimate. At least, at amounts of souls that actually happen in game. Obviously a Thresh with a 1000 souls will win :P

Admittadly it's a bit difficult to guess at which point Thresh will start to win as I rarely get to play him with a build that would stand the slightest chance for this. The support build kinda magnifies Thresh's weaknesses. No extra damage for poke, no AS for sustained, less money, sighstone is a giant waste of a slot stat-wise (and moneywise initially), the gold items are mediocre at best. Difficulty getting both MR & armor due to the lack of money and lack of slots, which means he's kind of squishy against at least one type of damage (his passive isn't nearly good enough on its own to count as tanky, especially not at early on).

Also, this does assume Trynda fights fair and doesn't just splitpush like mad ^^ And it assumes the Thresh player isn't just massivly better, anything can win if the opponent is just an idiot :P
