* Let your teammates know how you like to use it.

LORE

Thresh is a twisted reaper whose hungry chains ensnare the souls of the living. A moment's hesitation at the sight of his ghostly visage and there is no escape. He leaves in his wake hollow corpses, their souls ripped loose and trapped in the sickly green light of his lantern. The Chain Warden takes sadistic joy in tormenting his victims, both before and after their deaths. His grim task is never complete, and he stalks the land for ever more resolute spirits to unravel. Thresh carves careful, deliberate paths through Valoran. He handpicks his targets individually, devoting his full attention to each soul in turn.

He isolates and toys with them, gradually eroding their sanity with his twisted, maddening humor. Once Thresh takes an interest in a soul, he does not relent until he possesses it. He then drags those he captures back to the Shadow Isles for an unimaginably dreadful fate. This is his only purpose. Little is known about the Chain Warden's past, and many of the details live only in nursery rhymes and campfire tales. They tell of a sadistic jailer from centuries past who took great delight in torturing his wards. Patient and brutal, he used a variety of methods to break his victims' minds before their bodies succumbed to his grisly designs.

Chains were the jailer's preferred instruments of terror. Their shrill scrape marked his dreadful approach and promised agony to those he visited. His dark reign went unchallenged until his prisoners escaped during a massive riot. They overwhelmed him, and without ceremony or remorse, hanged him from his own chains. Thus began the unlife of the horrible specter known as Thresh, or so the tales go. Thresh now haunts the land, leaving an aftermath of horror and despair. However, there is a devious purpose behind his dark machinations, and the meager spirits of average men are insufficient. He seeks stronger souls. Only when he has broken the wills of Valoran's most resilient warriors will he finally have what he needs.

There are few things as invigorating as taking a mind apart, piece by piece. - Thresh


ABILITIES

Passive: Deal 0.5*AD-1 magic damage on each hit that builds up when not attacking. This value is equal to total souls collected plus up to 80/110/140/170/200% of attack damage, based on the amount of time since his last attack.

Active: Grab an enemy, then pull them to you or leap to them. Throws out his scythe, dealing 80/110/140/170/200 (+0.5*AP) magic damage to the first unit hit and pulling them toward him for 1.5 seconds.

Reactivate this ability to pull Thresh to the bound enemy.

[W] - Lantern Toss

Create a shielding lantern that an ally can use to dash to you. Throw the Lantern to a point. If an ally near the Lantern clicks it, they pick it up and Thresh pulls both back to him.
Additionally, allies who come near it gain a shield lasting 6 seconds that absorbs up to 60/100/140/180/220 (+0.4*AP) damage. Allies can only receive the shield once per cast.

On the PBE, the limit for souls is 255, but it has been confirmed by Riot CertainlyT that the soul stacks indefinitely. To balance this, Riot has given him poor ratios on his Q and E, high cooldowns on all his spells, ranged so he can't use the effectiveness of Tiamat/hydra to farm and made him more useful with AP so building AD is less inclined.

Being able to farm up as Tresh is a challenge in itself.
