While this build seems a little strange, sunbeam bow is decent on thanatos, because it adds a ton of damage, and you don't have to manage your mana on it. It can just always be on. The rest is strong scaling items that will cause you to be a late game menace.

Gameplay

Thanatos does a ton of damage and can snowball like crazy early game. The key to his gameplay is hitting his 1 consistently. You likely wont be able to 100% someone without your ult so in the early game you should look to flank an enemy that has already taken some poke. Thanatos is fairly safe as long as his ult is available so you can look to play aggressive and in the enemy's jungle, looking to invade and steal their camps and farm. In the mid game you should be able to chunk people fairly well with your 1 so a little help with damage and youll be able to eliminate targets easily. You should try to stay somewhat out of site as thanatos is easy to kill if he gets caught out of position. Additionally try not to make it obvious when you want to throw your 1. Its a slow moving projectile so it can be easy to dodge. In the late game youre likely going to die if you take a full on fight so play the edges of fights looking to hit targets with your 1 and potentially find a pick

Conclusion

Thanatos can bully and snowball really well, but he can just as easily die quickly and fall too far behind to be relevant. Be cautious of your fights and positioning and you can really run a game.
