I Turned Thresh into a Top Lane Raidboss, Here's How



If you do really think about, Thresh is just a ranged Nasus.

To expand on being a “Nasus” Raidboss creature, Thresh stacks a 1.5 on-hit for every Soul he collects, which doesn’t hit as hard as an ulting Nasus with stacked Q, but is still quite enticing to build around. Add to that the stacking armor and AP and he does scale quite nicely.
With the newly revamped Titanic Hydra and Hullbreaker in Season 14, a split-pushing playstyle has opened up for Thresh in the Top lane by improving his waveclear, his dueling, and his tower taking. While hitting turrets, his Flay passive will continue to charge up for the unfortunate soul that tries to stop you, and if they came alone, and especially if you also bought Sundered Sky? They’re done.

Thresh Top Runes (Recommended for aggression, experienced play. Fleet Footwork can be used when newer or want a safer lane)

Press The Attack
Presence of Mind
Legend: Bloodline (AD, take Alacrity if you take BOTRK early, or if you play AP)
Coup De Grace or Last Stand

Second Wind vs poke / Bone Plating against early game burst and fighters
Overgrowth if need a huge tank / Revitalize against poke / Unyielding tenacity for overwhelming CC or you need Plated Steelcaps instead of Mercs (though merc treads is usually enough)

I mentioned videos would go on second channel, it was supposed to be “ALSO go on the second channel sometimes”, not entirely swapping off to it!
That said it does allude to my plan to have more edited works here and more “non-edited” works over there.

  1. I had a lot of fun playing with Sundered Sky into Titanic with the item cooldown reduction rune (ingenious hunter). Honestly until they fix the crit damage on Sundered Sky I dont see a reason to not buy it;

  2. Top Rell (I call it Lore accurate Rell)
    Rush cinderhulk then Heartsteel

    Build whichever cinderhulk item your opponent deals damage with

    Unending despair, abyssal mask, Jack’sho

    If you’re not against a tank buster essential runes are grasp, conditioning, shield bash, and Manaflow
    If you’re against a tank buster get phase rush, Manaflow, and celerity with shield bash and conditioning

    Max Q->W->E

    The playstyle is just basic scaling tank. Rell has some of the most ridiculous defensive tank scalings in the game, only kept in check by her lack of damage based scaling. So building Heartsteel, cinderhulk, and despair help with that while also giving even more scaling, waveclear, and sustain respectively. Abyssal mask specifically is hilariously good with Rell since her passive already shreds MR and Armor, abyssal mask in addition will make any enemy weak to her and her teammates magic damage while empowering Rell.

    In lane you just stabilize. Killing Rell is practically impossible unless you charge in uninhibited with W. You have more movespeed thanks to E passive and active, low mana costs, and an on-demand shield. Once you get ult you even have an instant pull-CC, making enemies never want to tower dive and giving you a way to cancel abilities. If they roam, you can follow without being in any danger due to your tankiness and movespeed.

    Played well you can literally tilt people into making bad trades/decisions and dying to Rell top since they struggle so hard trying to kill her.

  3. I've been running one of two builds.
    Full oneshot with statikk, sorcs, eclipse, maw, sunderer, inf

    Or hybrid burst/ps with statikk, greaves, bork, kraken, wits, maw.

    Hail on both and the second got me a 18/0 in ranked
