I don't know his viability as a support to be honest.

I know his design sort of looks supporty with his Q charging up a huge auto attack burst as long as he isn't last hitting, his shield, his Varus/Kog saving Lanturn, and his CC..

However his passive not only doesn't sound supporty, it actually hinders him if he chooses to be support, it requires him to wade out into the thick of fighting, in amongst all the gunfire, bowfire, Koto fire, whateveritisEzrealfires and general crossfiriness, to be charged.

And if he doesn't then he gets no Armor or MR per level which supports really need.

CertainlyT said "Thresh can’t chill in the brush for 30 seconds without paying a substantial cost to his stat progression." However chilling in the brush is something which supports pretty much always need to do to stay alive.

Maybe he'll be good top lane before transitioning into support bruiser later on in a protect-the-ADC comp.

Top lane is full of melee's who he won't be as concerned about, denying his soul harvesting.
