I don't see how telling me the definition of a word I already know solves my scepticism either.

'In theory' and 'in practice' imply the two situations contradict one another. But being great and hard to use are not mutually exclusive. Lee Sin is hard. Zed is hard. Orianna is hard. All of them are great. The same goes for Thresh.

Way to strawman the hell out of my point. No one item contains health, health regen, armor, and MR all at, but builds don't consist of one item. Locket and Warden's Mail or Face of the Mountain and Zz'Rot Portal get you all the stats above with extra CDR and actives/passives on the side. Heck, Crystalline Bracer, Chain Vest and Null-Magic Mantle do the same at 1850g.

Thresh doesn't need the 3000+g required to buy Frozen Mallet or Rylai's in order to kill people and gold can never buy a lantern. That's the entire basis of the support role.
