Thresh wins trades by landing Q (Death Sentence), then using E (Flay) to pull or knock enemies into a spot where he and his ADC get a free hit.

Hook and Pull

›

›AA

Q lands on an enemy out of position. Recast Q to follow, then auto before they react. Best when your ADC can follow up.

Hook Flay Reset

›

›AA

Q connects and you want them dragged toward your side. E (Flay) after the pull to knock them back into your ADC's range.

Lantern Engage

›

›AA

Lantern down near your ADC before the all-in, so the shield absorbs the return poke while you hook and flay.

The trapThrowing Q (Death Sentence) without a plan, then standing there with no hook up and nothing to threaten the enemy lane.
