Sejuani's biggest problem is that she's a slow clearer early and you can't afford a slow clearer on ranked. Her AoE stun ult is decent but the range is nothing compared to something like Amumu. Most of all, junglers are becoming close to the only way to penetrate the backline and assassinate the ADC. So ones like Hecarim, Zed, Vi, Olaf and Kha'Zix are more prominent lately.
Some of the guys at higher elo have figured out the deal with Thresh in detail and determined in his present state, AD Carry is his only viable role.
Reasons:
1. His passive allows for his first attack after not attacking for a while to do considerable bonus damage, at least 100. Whether this was intended or not is unclear...
2. His Q hits for about 500 once geared. However, the tradeoff is Thresh won't be able to auto-attack for a few seconds when Qing.
3. His range - it's considerable.
4. The Box is a chaser move, not a battle opener. You have to force people to break The Box for it to be worth it.
5. Soul storage becomes considerable quickly via AD carry farm.
Voyboy and others investigating him and teaming/versing with Thresh players are fairly certain Riot didn't intend for Thresh to be an AD carry. Hard CC makes Thresh damn vulnerable - the offensive capability of Thresh is high but the disengage potential is very low. So even if Thresh is capable of crushing, he needs certain champs to roll with or he can become a liability. Blitzcrank is probably his best friend.
