Not really. It is an immensly good skill in terms of mobility. But requires a orginized team to really be of use, especially offensivly (defensivly it's easier to pull of). However in every other aspect it's fairly pointless. It will rarely win you a match, however it regularly allows you to safe an ally, which can ultimatly turn around a match (assuming they pay attention..). O and it's the only skill in the game that actually requires two players for it to do anything interesting (the shield on its own is fairly meh).

The most important reason you consider it OP is because noone else really has anything like it. And in the right set-up with some coordination it can result in brilliant plays (e.g. Thresh throws latern, Thresh hooks enemy, Ally & thresh switch places. Or an Ez is kiting, you've finally locked him down, Thresh throws lantern, Ez is safe)

In terms of game changing ability. Plenty of others that can have just as massive an effect if not greater...
