How to Play with Thresh as Gwen in LoL

The Gwen Thresh synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of her gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Thresh, compared to her overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how her gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.

Overall, Gwen sees a large worsening in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Thresh. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN. This negative change shows that Thresh helps Gwen perform not as well in competitive LoL rounds. Yet, the small difference shows that this performance change is only marginal.

When Gwen is an ally to Thresh, she observes a little increase in her full damage output. This difference could demonstrate that Thresh provides protection for her to deal more damage or that his participation also helps increase the match's duration. Similarly, when Gwen is played together with Thresh on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing with Thresh.

Moreover, when Gwen plays with Thresh on the same team, she usually receives a little less damage than when she fights alone. Taking not as much damage may indicate that Thresh does a decent job of protecting Gwen during teamfights.

Is Gwen better when played alongside Thresh?

There is no universally accepted best champion pairing for Gwen that will 100% of the time be her top ally. However, Thresh is a very typical teammate for Gwen. By locking into the same team as Gwen, he decreases their win rate by -0.8% to 47.3%. This shows that there is not really a strong bond between Gwen and Thresh that allows them to perform worse together than alone.

Thresh has a greater difficulty than Gwen. That means Gwen players must be very careful when enlisting Thresh comrades to fight alongside, as they will have to have a greater level of skill to cooperate well with you.

Fighting on the same side, you should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to buff allies and debuff enemies. Combined, these two should be able to manipulate the pace of team fights.

In contrast, by pairing Gwen and Thresh together, you will not be providing your other teammates very much cover. Plan to include other champions on your team that helps cover this hole in this pairing's kit.

Regardless of your Thresh ally's skill level, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well, regardless.
