Zac vs Thresh Matchup Summary

The Zac vs Thresh matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 11 recent matches analyzed, Zac wins with a 63.6% win rate compared to Thresh's 36.4%, giving Zac a 27.3 percentage point advantage. Zac dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Thresh players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Zac leads by 882 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Zac players can confidently pick into Thresh and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Thresh away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Farming
1.7Zac
1.1Thresh
Zac edges out Thresh by 0.6 CS per minute — a moderate farming advantage that adds up to roughly 9 CS over a 15-minute laning phase. This translates to earlier component purchases and slightly faster power spikes for Zac.
Damage
576Zac
489Thresh
Zac heavily out-damages Thresh by 87 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Thresh should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Zac's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
11,063Zac
10,924Thresh
Zac and Thresh generate nearly equal gold per game, with just a 139 gold difference. Neither champion has a clear economic advantage, so gold leads will depend on individual play quality, kill participation, and objective contributions.
Utility
1.7Zac
1.8Thresh
Both Zac and Thresh provide similar amounts of crowd control (0.2s/min difference), meaning neither has a significant advantage in locking down opponents for ganks or team fights. Lane ganks are equally effective for both sides.
Sustain
2,170Zac
1,287Thresh
Zac vastly out-sustains Thresh, healing and mitigating 882 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Zac can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Thresh is forced to recall. Building grievous wounds early is essential for Thresh, and focusing on burst trade patterns rather than sustained fights is critical.

Zac dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 100.0% win rate — a 100.0 percentage point lead over Thresh. This lopsided early game means Zac can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Zac holds the advantage at every stage of the game, making this a consistently favorable matchup from lane through late game team fights. Thresh players should look for outplays, team-dependent strategies, and picks rather than relying on scaling to win this matchup.
