PBE: Thresh Math Mk. II

Not long after I completed yesterday's math on Thresh's passive a PBE update went out. This removed the Magic Resistance from Thresh's passive (at least in the tooltip), which obviously changes the math.

So with the recent update we must modify our equation for value:

Gold Value = (# of Souls / 2 + 12.75) * (18 + 20) - 1296g

With the factors representing MR removed, this gives us the following numbers:
  • 50: 138.5g
  • 100: 1088.5g
  • 150: 2038.5g
  • 200: 2988.5g
  • 250: 3938.5g
So the value of Thresh's passive is roughly one-half to two-thirds what it was previously.

Beyond curbing the absurd value of Thresh's passive, this change serves an important function. Before it was incredibly easy for Thresh to become impossible for AP carries to kill. Being able to exceed 100 Magic Resistance without any items or runes was silly. With the Magic Resistance removed from his passive, he'll no longer be the most abusive mid champion since LeBlanc's release.
