An important advantage of Thresh is superior vision control (ranked 39th among supports) (versus 42nd for Zilean), which provides better map control and safety for the team in important map areas. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (3.3 versus 2.7) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.
