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

How I did my cosplay
The mask, okay so I bought a blank mask, got some gutter wiring, 3 coat hangers, and duct tape. FIRST, I had to cut the mask to look like thresh. I used the gutter wiring to make a base for it to stay on my head basically. Then, I taped the hangers on to the head where the three bone prongy thingys are on threshes head. (here is the blog I followed to make this) http://frekki.wordpress.com/2013/04/07/thresh-mask/
I used paper clay and shaped it into place, after I finally got the coat hangers in place, this was a real pain and the clay helped a little. I waited a few days for that to dry, maybe about two days. Next, I glued so green cyophene to the hangers so it would look sort of like fire, cut out some bone shapes for the bone prong things out of this foam stuff i got from freds where the poster boards are. I painted the clay and the bones BEFORE gluing the bones on. then the mask is complete.
The lantern, I cut out the shape from card board, I suggest putting a wire circle through the top of the cardboard, so you can hold it at this point. used spray insulation and cut it to shape the best i could. I did paper machie with mixed flour and water in equal parts. I gave that about a day and a half to dry then used paper clay on it as well. Two days later I painted it.
While my lantern was drying, I made my weapon, I really really rushed it. I cut out card board the syith and the bone chains, (I glued wires and hooked them up to form the chain just like on the blog I was following, I found out it is much easier to spray foam them first before hooking them all together, I spray foamed the weapon, cut it to shape, and used paper machie, and let that dry. Shorty after that was dry, I used a little clay to form some indentions, i didn't cover it in clay. I painted that as well and hooked it to the lantern.
I know I wasn't the best at explaining this, but that is because the blog I used has better detail to it. I followed all of the same steps. Her cosplay was in full, I plan on doing the whole thing for next year, but that's all I had time for this year. Happy cosplaying!

I've been busy doing this: Thresh Cosplay
So here are the results. It's not the best, not the worst, I don't have time to make anything else for this years Momocon, however! Next year I am doing the full costume. I have a pair of tripp pants I'm wearing with this and a black button up shirt, I hope it will look decent. I'm going to write an entry of how I made all this in my next post. Tell me what you guys think!

Pictures of my cosplay thus far (please take into consideration this is my 2nd cosplay ever)
All feed back is welcome! If anyone has any suggestions or tips and tricks, feel free to leave a comment. If you were wondering what my first cosplay was, I went as Marci from Adventure Time, I don't have any pictures of my dressed up, but here's my ax guitar.
I got all my stuff from amazon, I bought a blank face mask, some paper clay, cliyphine (not sure how to spell it) and used some wires for the prong thingys. It's not done yet of course. I still have to add the bones and paint it as well as the lantern. The lantern was easy to make, cardboard base, some spray foam, paper machie, and more paper clay and here it is. I'm going to work on the weapon today or tomorrow.
Want do you want and some amazing cosplays.
Would you rather read posts about game play, advice, and opinions, or would you rather see cool pictures? Which do you prefer to see on this blog? I try to include both of course, but what is more important to you? Tell me what you think would make this blog better.
My cosplay pictures will be up shortly. I will try to talk about what I did in depth and explain the best I can. This is my first lengthy cosplay that I've done so it's not going to be perfect. I'm trying to do something like this: http://frekki.wordpress.com/2013/04/07/thresh-mask/
I adore Thresh so I love seeing stuff like this, hence why I'm making my own Thresh. :3 I'm going to momocon with some friends and I'm sort of in a rush but I've got about 20 hours in so far, give or take. Anyways I'll show you some pictures of some thresh cosplays!

You and your ADC
Supporting is generally considered to be the role picked last. There are some people that love playing as a support and always plays as one, but it's common for people not to want to do it. Playing in bottom lane, you need to communicate properly with your partner. It's best to have a team of course, but not everyone has that option at their disposal.
Your job as a support is to ping for your lane, ward your lane, and defend your adc in laning phase. Your ADC is probably going to want you to help them get cs, not get cs yourself. Some ADC's don't even want you to hit minions. They are going to want you to ward and help them get gold as well as protect them in battles. It's a good idea to build things with active abilities that will help both you and your laning buddy survive.
Early game, I usually start off with a couple stealth wards, a couple health pots, and the coin for the talisman. This allows you to know where the enemies are in case of early ganks and now if they want to sneakily B in a bush as well as get gold slightly faster and heal yourself if needed.
Since I main Thresh, I usually get heal and flash as my summoner spells because he doesn't have a healing ability power, and flashing over walls can really help you out. If you build right, you can get away from most stuns.
A combination of flash, talisman, heal, and the box if needed, and you'll be just fine. Doing which first depends on the situation. Keep in mind, talisman can aid your friends to get away as well. Heal should be used first in this combo if you see your health dropping fast, such as in a 5 v 1, which is very hard to get out of.
Also, keep in mind that the ruby sight stone is a great idea to build. before that though still ward with stealth and vision wards. Don't just not ward! That's a big reason that you will get yelled at for.
Overall, if you get your adc kills, plenty of cs, lots of gold, and a nicely warded map, you will be doing excellent!
