Everything You Need to Know About SSW Thresh

The Basics

Looking to spice up your games with a killer new look for Thresh? Let's dive into everything you need to know about SSW Thresh, a unique skin for Thresh. This skin is all about giving your favorite champion a fresh new look!

Quick Facts

Price: 975 RP

Released: 2015-05-13

Rarity: Common

Available: Legacy

Since its release on 2015-05-13, this Common tier skin has become a legacy skin. This means it's no longer available for purchase in the store, but you might be able to get it from chests, rerolling skins, or during specific periods in the year when Riot brings it back.

What Makes This Skin Special

Let's talk about what makes SSW Thresh worth your RP. At 975 RP, you're getting a relatively cheap skin with decent quality visuals, sometimes even some new animations or effects.

Here's what you get with SSW Thresh: ✓ Fresh animations that make Thresh move in new, thematic ways ✓ A custom recall animation that's worth showing off before you head back to base

Unlike some skins that come with a rainbow of chromas, SSW Thresh keeps it focused with just the base design. So sadly, no chroma options here.

One thing to keep in mind: this skin is available through the loot system. So if you're the type to save your RP, you might get lucky with a hextech chest or event orb. But don't count on it - if you really want this skin, buying it directly is your best bet.

Who made SSW Thresh?

Ever wonder who's responsible for making these skins? We'll break it down for you:

When you hear SSW Thresh in game, you're listening to the work of voice actor Mark Oliver, who brings real personality to the lines.

That splash art that caught your eye? It came from the tablet of several artists working together: Alvin Lee and Pan Chengwei . This collaboration resulted in the amazing artwork you see on the champion select screen.
