Thinking of Thresh as a standard support might not work. He's a cc tank, like Nautilus. Your job isn't necessarily to be amage output, or always soak hard as a cc tank. Displacement, mobility, shields - this stuff has massive impact if timed and directed well, even at low numbers.

I doubt he'll reach infinite AP - unless he's farming super hard all game, or unless the soul drop numbers go up considerably, he'll still be item dependent - the passives on his Q and his Innate just seem to reduce item dependence and create natural tankiness - something other thanks have in spades already.

Also; his numbers aren't final, and I've noticed Riot erring on the low side and balancing up lately, rather than the other way around.
