Statistical Matchup Analysis

Current meta showdown: Blitzcrank (6.0% pick rate, 10th most popular out of 52 Support champions) versus Thresh (13.7%, 1st place). These two support titans clash constantly, making matchup mastery a decisive factor in your climb. Every edge matters: In this tough matchup, the proven Glacial Augment + Hextech Flashtraption combination (53.6% win rate) plus optimal itemization Locket of the Iron Solari, Zeke's Convergence, Shurelya's Battlesong, and Boots of Swiftness boosts your chances from 50.0% to 70%+ - potentially game-changing.

Vision advantage: Despite losing the direct matchup, Blitzcrank's superior warding (0.90 wards/min, 19th among supports) can swing team fights and objectives in your favor. Damage doesn't equal wins: Blitzcrank outputs more damage (371 vs 340/min, 2nd place) but still loses the matchup. The issue likely lies in survivability, mobility, or damage timing rather than raw output. Complete dominance by Thresh: leads in both matchup win rate (50.0%) and KDA (2.70 vs 2.50, 17th vs 24th place). Blitzcrank players need exceptional preparation to overcome this counter-pick.

How to Beat Thresh as Blitzcrank (Support)

Despite the slight difference in effectiveness, in the Blitzcrank versus Thresh matchup as support, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.

The magic damage that Blitzcrank deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Thresh deals primarily magic damage (75.85%), additional magic resistance may be required.

An important advantage of Blitzcrank is superior vision control (ranked 19th among supports) (versus 27th for Thresh), which provides better map control and safety for the team in important map areas. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.7 versus 2.5) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Blitzcrank Support versus Thresh Support matchup

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Blitzcrank player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Thresh player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach.

Blitzcrank tips:

  • The 1-2-3 combo of Rocket Grab, Power Fist, and Static Field can devastate an individual opponent.
  • Using Blitzcrank's grab to pull an enemy into your tower range followed by a Power Fist will allow the tower to get several hits on them.

Playing Against Thresh

  • Thresh's Death Sentence has a long cast time. Watch for the cast to begin to take evasive actions.
  • Intentionally breaking a wall of The Box can allow a vulnerable ally to escape unscathed.
  • Thresh relies on collecting souls for a portion of his defense and damage. Try punishing him when he moves to collect them.
