| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Thresh | Thresh's level-1 Q hook out-ranges your kit and threatens a full combo. |
| Level 2 | Thresh | His level-2 hook into E Flay sets up a trade that can kill before your E lands. |
| Level 3 | Thresh | Level 3 he keeps zoning you with hook range and lantern-backed aggression. |
| Levels 4-5 | Thresh | Through levels 4-5 his poke and Flay peel keep him ahead in trades. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At level 6 your R negates his hook-Flay all-in, making the fight skill-based. |
| First item | Taric | First item your Bravado sustain out-values his poke and you punish missed hooks. |
| Two+ items | Taric | With 2+ items your guaranteed E lockdown beats his skillshot-reliant engage. |
Thresh controls the first several levels because his Q hook out-ranges everything you have and a single landed Death Sentence into E Flay can chunk or kill you before your E connects. Never stand in the open, keep minions between you and him, and don't dash E in unless his hook is on cooldown. His Flay also peels your E-dash, so a mistimed engage just feeds him the trade.
