Thor has long range attacks which neither WW nor Aquaman can match. Well, technically WW had her weird bracelet concussive blasts which she somehow failed to ever use against Steppenwolf.
Still, if it was a pure melee fight then I might agree with you. But Steppenwolf has no counter to Thor's lightning or even a thrown Mjolnir.
As long as Thor fights like he does on average then he should win.
Yep, Thor has never used lightning against Thanos

You mean like a brawler? He barely uses his lightning in combat even after Ragnarok. He didn't use lightning against Hulk, Kurse or Thanos.
Thor uses his ranged attacks majority of the time against high-end opponents:
1. Used wind to sweep Destroyer off his feet then redirected Destroyer's blast against him.
2. Used AOE lightning against Loki's illusions
3. Used massive lightning attacks against multiple leviathans
4. Used lightning a number of times against Malekith
5. Used lightning against Hulk in their Ragnarok fight
6. Used lightning against Ironman
7. Used numerous lightning attacks against Hela
8. Used lightning against Thanos in IW
So... what were you saying? Kurse was the only one you got right.

A jolt of lightning here and there doesn't make up for the fact that Thor likes to fight up close. MCU Thor is an 80 IQ dudebro, he won't fight from a distance and pelt Steppenwolf with ranged attacks. He'll try to fight in H2H.

Once in four encounters with him. Boy, Thor sure does love to use lightning!
25% is more than enough to negate this idea that its not in character for him.
But personally I think the odd time he didnt (when it was really needed) is more likely down to PIS.
And FYI its not pure H2H when hes throwing Mjolnir at his opponent (or dropping it on them).

Thor has also used lightning against Hulk, his list wasn't very accurate.

And I never said he'd fight purely from a distance. He'd most likely combine melee and ranged attacks like he normally does, and Steppenwolf doesn't have any answer for those ranged attacks.
Very, very rarely has Thor ever fought pure h2h.
Just admit you were wrong to claim Thor never used lightning on Thanos and Hulk and move on.

I didn't say that he never does it, but that he prefers to fight up close. I agree that Thor can win if he fights smart, but he's not smart in the MCU.

A single time in Ragnarok and only because he was getting a flashback/vision of Odin. Then, rather than pelt Hulk with lightning bolts, he charged at him and punched him. Because Thor likes to brawl. Hulk wasn't particularly hurt by these attacks anyway.
