Thresh tips:

  • Communication is key when making use of Thresh's lantern. Let your teammates know how you like to use it.
  • Death Sentence and Flay can be combined in either cast order for powerful combinations.
  • Thresh can collect souls without needing to kill units himself. Planning your map position to be near the most deaths will help to maximize soul collection.

Playing Against Morgana

  • Tormented Shadow deals tons of damage to units missing large amounts of Health. When low on Health, be wary of Morgana's attempts to trap you within its reach.
  • Morgana often needs to land Dark Binding to setup her other attacks. Use your minions as shields against Dark Binding.
  • Black Shield makes Morgana immune to disabling effects, but can be broken with magic damage.
