Thresh
Champions that beat Thresh
- Brandsupport
Brand's Sear Q stuns Thresh on an Ablaze-stacked target during the slow Death Sentence Q hook windup, and Pillar of Flame W deletes him at zero mobility — he has no dash to escape.
- Ivernsupport
Thresh walks forward into Rootcaller (Q) range to land Death Sentence (Q) — Q plus ADC dash punishes the windup with a guaranteed root before the hook leaves the cast animation. Flay (E) knockback cannot reach Ivern in Brushmaker (W) brush.
- Lucianbot
Relentless Pursuit (E) dodges Death Sentence (Q) reactively if E is up before the hook lands. Lightslinger (P) double-shots stack Press the Attack inside Flay (E) range before Thresh can swap directions and The Box (R) walls die to E-Flash diagonal exit.
- Nautilussupport
Nautilus beats Thresh in close-range trades — Dredge Line Q hook out-ranges Death Sentence Q in the brush angle wars. Staggering Blow passive auto-roots the ADC for free, Riptide E AOE slow makes Flay E disengage impossible,
- Poppysupport
After landing Death Sentence, Thresh relies on Flay knockback or Dark Passage lantern to close — both can be cancelled by Keeper's Verdict quick-cast knocking him back out of range of his hooked ADC.
- Renata Glascsupport
Bailout W on the ADC means Thresh's Death Sentence Q hook no longer kills the carry — they return to full HP after the burst. Handshake Q out-ranges the Death Sentence pull-back, throwing Thresh back into his own team mid-engage,
- Taricsupport
Thresh's Death Sentence Q hook is a slow projectile he commits to start every fight, and Damnation passive scaling needs souls he cannot collect under Taric pressure. Bastion W shield blocks the Flay E follow-up knock,
- Xayahbot
Featherstorm (R) makes Xayah untargetable mid-cast, so Thresh Death Sentence (Q) hook phases through her if she presses R before the chain connects. She keeps farming behind dropped Feathers and Bladecaller (E) roots him through Flay (E) displacement follow-up.
Champions Thresh beats
- Amumusupport
Death Sentence (Q) reaches 1100 range with a faster cast than Bandage Toss (Q) — Thresh hooks you out of position before you can engage. Flay (E) knocks you out of your own Despair (W) aura, and The Box (R) walls off your ADC follow-up.
- Bardsupport
Death Sentence (Q) reaches 1100 range with a faster cast than Cosmic Binding (Q). Flay (E) knocks Bard out of his Cosmic Binding angle on the wall, and The Box (R) walls off Magical Journey (E) tunnel escapes.
- Blitzcranksupport
Death Sentence (Q) reaches 1100 range with a faster cast animation. If Thresh hooks first, the Blitzcrank Rocket Grab (Q) animation gets interrupted, and Flay (E) plus The Box (R) chain crowd control through any missed Q window.
- Caitlynbot
Caitlyn's only escape is 90 Caliber Net E self-knockback and Yordle Snap Trap W needs pre-placement Thresh sidesteps via Dark Passage W lantern. A flank Death Sentence Q from brush at minute 8+ is a free pickoff, Headshot passive procs cannot fire from the hook,
- Dravenbot
A single Death Sentence (Q) stops Draven mid-axe-catch. Without the catch, Spinning Axe (Q) resets get cancelled, Blood Rush (W) speed drops, and Flay (E) knockback denies his escape. The Box (R) walls block his Stand Aside (E) repositioning.
- Hweisupport
Death Sentence (Q) hook lands during Hwei's slow cast windup; once dragged in via the second Q activation, he has no dash to escape Flay (E) knockback chain. The Box (R) ult-wall pins him during repositioning, and Dark Passage (W) lantern saves the ADC from Subject: Torment (E).
- Kalistabot
Death Sentence (Q) pulls Kalista's support out of Fate's Call (R) range, and Flay (E) knockback interrupts Pierce (Q) hop chains. The Box (R) AOE slow zones Rend (E) stacking windows, and Damnation (P) soul stacks give Thresh tank stats that survive Kalista's burst.
- Kog'Mawbot
Death Sentence (Q) hook pulls Kog'Maw out of his support's peel range — he has no dash to escape. Flay (E) knockback interrupts Bio-Arcane Barrage (W) auto chain, and The Box (R) AOE slow zones Living Artillery (R) cast attempts entirely.
- Lulusupport
Death Sentence (Q) hook landed pre-6 chains into Flay (E) and The Box (R) walls with no Lulu counter — Help, Pix! (E) shield breaks under chain damage. Damnation (P) soul stacking outscales Lulu's Aery shields and Wild Growth (R) is not online until level 6.
- Namisupport
Nami has no dash and a fragile body — Death Sentence (Q) landed pre-6 deletes her or the ADC before Tidal Wave (R) is online. Thresh's hook range out-distances Aqua Prison (Q) windup and Flay (E) knock-back interrupts Ebb and Flow (W) cast windows.
- Neekosupport
Death Sentence (Q) outranges Tangle-Barbs (E) by 100+ units and pulls Neeko out of Shapesplitter (W) clone bluff. Flay (E) knock-back interrupts Pop Blossom (R) channel and The Box (R) walls cut Shapesplitter (W) clone escape on her 550 base HP support build.
- Pantheonsupport
Thresh's Death Sentence fires from ~1100 units, outranging Shield Vault's 600 dash. Pantheon gets hooked and pulled before he can W onto the ADC, and Flay knockback cancels his W stun follow-up by repositioning him out of Comet Spear tap range.
- Rakansupport
Thresh's Death Sentence Q fires from ~1100 units, out-ranging Rakan's Grand Entrance at 600 units. Any face-check loses Rakan; once hooked his team has no peel because the engage tool itself is chained.
- Sennasupport
Senna sits at maximum Piercing Darkness Q range to stack Absolution souls and has no built-in escape. A flank Death Sentence Q from a side brush at minute 8+ is a free pickoff, Curse of the Black Mist E invisibility breaks on the hook,
- Seraphinesupport
Death Sentence (Q) lands outside Seraphine's 800 W range pre-6 and Seraphine has no dash to dodge. Flay (E) chain-knockback or Dark Passage (W) lantern bait pulls her into The Box (R) prison before Encore (R) is online to charm them off.
- Sonasupport
Sona has no dash and her Crescendo R is a chain-stun that needs vision on a clumped group. A Death Sentence Q hook from lantern range cancels her R channel mid-cast, Power Chord passive stack burst cannot reach Thresh through Flay E knock-back,
- Sorakasupport
Soraka has no dash and her entire kit is healing — Astral Infusion W self-HP cost cannot keep up with a Death Sentence Q hook chain. A clean Q at lantern range stuns her out of position, Flay E knock-up resets the trade,
- Swainsupport
Death Sentence (Q) pulls Swain out of his own Demonic Ascension (R) drain radius — he loses the only sustain that keeps him alive in melee. Flay (E) knock-back interrupts Nevermove (E) re-cast, and The Box (R) walls his post-pull retreat path.
- Teemosupport
Thresh's Death Sentence Q hook at 1100 range out-ranges Blinding Dart Q's 680 cast, pulling Teemo into turret zone where Move Quick W passive is disabled by damage. Flay E knock chains on landing, Damnation soul stacks scale his auto-attacks past Teemo's MR,
- Veigarsupport
Death Sentence (Q) is a 1100-range hook that pulls Veigar out of his own Event Horizon (E) before the cage stuns, then Flay (E) follow-up displaces him further. The Box (R) wall blocks his Flash escape and Damnation passive scales armor over the lane.
- Vel'Kozsupport
Thresh Death Sentence (Q) 1100 range hooks Vel'Koz out of position and chains into Flay (E) displacement plus The Box (R) wall trap for a guaranteed kill. Vel'Koz has no Flash-cancel mid-animation and Damnation passive scales armor through the laning phase soul drops.
- Yuumisupport
Death Sentence Q hits the AD carry, not Yuumi — and once the carry is dead, Attached Yuumi auto-detaches and dies one cooldown later. You and Me! W cannot save the partner from a hook landed from fog of war, and Flay E knock-back chains the followup.
- Zeribot
Once Death Sentence Q connects, Zeri's Spark Surge E cooldown is too long to escape — she gets pulled and dies before E comes back up. Flay E knock-back chains the CC, and The Box R walls off her wall-vault escape angle entirely.
