I'm sure a lot of people already know this, but I can not stress this
enough. If you miss five hooks in a row, you aren't doing so well, and
should probably be more careful. There is a move where thresh can pull
himself to the enemy as well, I've only seen another player do this
once, but it can be really helpful. Please try this move in a custom
game first. This way you are 100% sure you know what you're doing. Loads
of people under level 30 want to rush to get the experience to level
up, but you want to win games as well. Knowing what you're doing should
be above getting experience.
Also, I wanted to say I got my
ranking this week finally. Only Silver IV, but at least I didn't hit
bronze. My only issue is that I need to learn more champions, other than
Thresh. He's so fun to play, but good advice for ranked games is know
at least three champions in every role. Also, having runes and masteries
never hurts. Have enough pages that you can do multiple roles if need
be. Jumping into ranked is scary. Now, if I could play Thresh every
game, that would be amazing, but sadly things just don't work out that
way. Currently my jungling is pathetic. 0/3/0 Shaco getting executed in
ranked twice, just doesn't cut it apparently. Looks like it's back to
normal games for me so that I can practice more champions.
Now,
back to Thresh's hooks, you can see how it's done in his spotlight
video. Honestly, I've never done it successfully, but I've never
practiced it in customs games either.. SO, I'm on my way to do that now.
Though I play him repeatedly, I still think I need more practice with
him. I know though, if I don't land enough hooks early on, my adc
wouldn't get fed nearly as fast and late game will be though. Practice,
practice, practice. That's how you get better after all.
Now, pictures. :D
