As true as Death is not permanent in League, this is still a solid reason for Lucian. Because he can't permanently die and because he has no other choice in this case. Thresh joined the League before Lucian could make a difference, so he has no choice but to let him live longer than intended. He doesn't just sit around waiting, though: He fights against all sorts of mighty opponents and devastating team compositions and under every condition imaginable, from having a bad Summoner controlling him to snowball stuff just to encounter a sudden turnaround in the second half.

The whole time in League is dedicated training for Lucian, because he knows there'll be the day when Thresh won't have the protection of the League anymore.

... Well, that's what I meant when I said that fans can get very creative XD
