More clarification.source He's not buffed. He's nerfed. He has more attack speed per level now, but only 1/4th of his bonus attack speed now applies to his attacks. Basically AS is 1/4th as effective on him. It's a HUGE nerf.This is false. Allow me to clarify, because this is not a traditional change. Attack Speed traditionally reduces the time between attacks by compressing everything about the attack, including the animation (we call this the Wind Up). What Thresh now does is instead compress the time between one attack firing and the next ending by more than 100% of his attack speed, but the time that the animation plays by less than 100%. This means that he can now be given more attack speed without looking ridiculous.

In sum, this change:

Reduces Thresh's ability to kite/chase between basic attacks when he builds AS items; Has little impact on his animation when not buying AS items due to the extra attack speed per level we granted him; Increases his damage in stand and fight cases across the board.
