Statistical Matchup Analysis

While Elise remains a niche pick (1.0% pick rate, 38th place out of 51 Support champions), Thresh dominates the current meta support with 13.1% popularity. Mastering this matchup is crucial for Elise players - you'll face Thresh in the majority of your games. Every edge matters: In this tough matchup, the proven Electrocute + Sudden Impact combination (51.0% win rate) plus optimal itemization Stormsurge, Shadowflame, Void Staff, and Sorcerer's Shoes boosts your chances from 46.0% to 70%+ - potentially game-changing.

Vision advantage: Despite losing the direct matchup, Elise's superior warding (0.97 wards/min, 6th among supports) can swing team fights and objectives in your favor. Damage doesn't equal wins: Elise outputs more damage (608 vs 341/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 (54.0%) and KDA (2.70 vs 2.20, 16th vs 42nd place). Elise players need exceptional preparation to overcome this counter-pick.

How to Beat Thresh as Elise (Support)

Difficult matchup requiring deep understanding of game mechanics and flawless execution. Patience and proper macro play are the keys to victory in this confrontation.

The magic damage that Elise deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Thresh deals primarily magic damage (75.96%), additional magic resistance may be required.

An important advantage of Elise is superior vision control (ranked 6th among supports) (versus 9th for Thresh), which provides better map control and safety for the team in important map areas. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.7 versus 2.2) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Elise Support versus Thresh Support matchup

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Elise player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Thresh player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.

Elise tips:

  • Spider Form is most effective at finishing off enemies with low health; Human Form's Neurotoxin does more damage to healthy foes.
  • When in Spider Form, Spiderlings will attack the target that Elise uses Venomous Bite on.
  • Elise's Spider Form and Spider Form abilities do not cost mana and can be prioritized when you are trying to conserve mana.

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.
