not to mention that you can still accrue a good amount of damage per hit by collecting souls, and the flat amount of souls you have is applied as magic damage per hit. Additionally, you won't be getting most of your ad as healing from lifesteal; meaning stuff like bloodthirsters won't work as well. Most importantly, there are others who do that job better than thresh, as the have more ad scalings or atk speed manipulations. Thresh has a negative attak speed idea, in which the less he attacks, the better it is for him. That is not good during late game.
