Thresh and Targon's Brace

JTRousseau·1/19/2016, 4:52:07 AM·2 votes·945 views

Hello,

I am a support main and frequent Thresh and I am having the issue where isn't executing the minions properly. The gold share procs when I last hit the minions, but does not execute them below said amount with either Targon's Brace or the prerequisite item.

I am wondering if Thresh's auto attack is no longer considered melee in order to proc the passive ability or if I am just one in many experiencing such a problem?

For my more experienced Thresh players, if you are too having the same problem, have you considered alternative builds that are just as viable for team survivability pushing towards mid and late game?

Any response from Rito and the community would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you,

JTRousseau

Hey JTRousseau,

Thresh 's auto attacks are considered range, even though his weapon technically isn't a projectile one.

item 3302 only executes minions if its hit by a melee attack.

My suggestiong would be to wait till your Flay (E) passive is charged up for maximum damage, or play with AD marks on thresh to enable easier last hitting.

Cheers.

Hey JTRousseau,

Thresh was never considered melee, so will not proc the execute damage. It's entirely intended, but it is still a good item. Rely on building up your E passive damage to make last hitting easier instead; if it is still not efficient enough for you just grab Ancient Coin instead.

i think thresh is one of those champs that are both melee and ranged since i have tried both rav hydra and runnan's hurricane on it and it both works

NOTE: did u know that thresh has 3 aa animations that count as different aa types?

when u are far away, u get this long lashing motion that is ranged attack

midway is similar but now it is the other way and is melee (inconsistently melee, sometimes its ranged idk)

close he just rakes the claw end of the hook on the minions and is a melee attack

Thresh is a ranged champion.

The execute in the Relic Shield line only occurs on melee basic attacks.

The gold-sharing and healing occur if you kill a minion through any source.

His basic attack has never been melee. Ever.

The only time Thresh has ever proc'd the execute on the Relic Shield line was the patch it was originally released. When it was initially released, it would apply to all basic attacks (ranged or melee). It was nerfed shortly after.
