Matchups
Every matchupHow to read this
Thresh’s win rate against each champion picked into it in the lane opposite: its hardest matchups, then its easiest. The small number is the matchup’s own effect on Thresh, the part not explained by either champion’s strength.

Lane leads and team bans
What Thresh’s team bans
Champions a team bans more often when it has Thresh than the other team does in the same games (623,990 games). The other team banned before Thresh was picked, so the gap is the ban spent because Thresh was coming — a sign players see these as counters. Riot does not say which player cast a ban, so this is the team’s choice.

These numbers describe, they do not prove. Each rate is Thresh’s record when its player chose that option, pulled toward Thresh’s own rate by 100 games of prior so a small sample cannot look like a discovery. An uncommon page often wins more because experts run it, and they would win on any page, so only a choice taken in at least 10% of games can be recommended, and spells and keystones are ranked by how the SAME players do with them against the usual choice, not by the raw rate; rarer ones are listed with their numbers and labeled. The build line (opening buy, the two key items in the order they are finished, boots or the support upgrade) is advice in the same sense: how Thresh does when built that way.
The learning curve
Champion pool
On a first game Thresh wins 47.6%; in the hands of players with the most mastery on it, 53.2%. That gap ranks it 72 of 173 for how much practice pays. It crosses 50% at about 23K mastery points.
Pro play

Thresh in the major leagues and international events this season, across 3,434 games: its record, how often it is picked or banned, whether it is taken blind or saved as a counter, its lane at 15 minutes, and the best pro on it.

How much knowing Thresh pays
Players on their Mastery band win 5.6 points more on Thresh than first-timers do: #72 of 173 champions for how much mastery pays.
At 300k+ mastery points, Thresh players win 53.2%: #24 of 173 champions for where mastery ends up. The fitted curve levels off at about 53.4%, and is half-way up by ~40K points.
ThreshDots are the six mastery bands, placed at their mastery points. The line is the best-fitting curve that rises and levels off.
This is not a promise about your next game. Players do not reach a mastery band in a random order, and a champion someone loses on tends to get dropped before it reaches the high bands — so the right-hand side of every curve is partly survivors, not only practice.
