 * consider starting with pink ward and using it to clear the bush. Your chances to land a grab are increased by a lot when they can`t see you.


 * remember that you don`t need to throw the hook exactly in the direction you are heading towards. If you find your opponents consistently dodging your Q, try to aim it from unusual angles in order to surprise them.


 * the passive aa damage on Q hurts in early game, don`t forget to make use of it if you are in a good position.


 * learn to maximize the pull distance on hook: the enemy champion can be actualy pulled twice towards you and, if you time it well, you can still press Q again to dash to them after second pull.


 * your ultimate is the most dangerous when the enemy has no flash or blink to get away from it. But if they do have it, you can still place the box in such manner that they will immediately get hitted by one of the walls and this way they will get slow and damage.


 * w is absolutely amazing tool to help you with setting up ganks. When you see your jungler coming from behind (like your turret ot tribush on blue side), throw lantern nearby him and immediately go in. Suddenly it`s 3vs2 out of nothing.


 * remember you can use w as free and safe (that range !) ward to look into suspicious-looking bushes instead of those risky facecheks.


 * when sb from your team is running away and you want to save him, it`s usually better to place the lantern not exactly on top of them, but a little bit in front of them, so they will have enough time to react / they won`t get blocked by enemy.


 * if both you and your adc are running away together, you can also cast your ultimate for the enormous slow that can save both of your lives.


 * when fighting 2vs2 enemy lane, dont forget to use w on you and your adc. The shield is not very large, but it can be the difference between won or lost fight.

Generally, Thresh has a lot of little tricks and tips to be learnt, but that is one of the things that make him so funny. So don`t give up after few first games :) He is very strong, maybe even the strongest support pick you can have at the moment. If you find yourself playing against him... well, you are in trouble. Try to control bush so you can see his hook being charged so hopefully you can dodge it. Poke from far away and keep your distance or, if you are Alistar or Leona, simply wait for the opportunity to beat him in an open fight.
