It happened to me too when trying it with Vi I sent in a help ticket to RITO and said the following:
"In playing some games today, I decided to try out something new and fresh, so I played Vi support starting with a relic shield and my lane partner was Kalista. In the time I was playing, I discovered that the passive on relic shield will not activate if Kalista procs the passive on Sentinal it and then I kill the minion. I do not know if this was intentional, if it's just for Vi, or if it was unintended, but it makes trying to heal Kalista a challenge when I can't use any of those orbiting blue spheres. It seems choppy and very clumsy in relation to the agility and opportunity that having Kalista soulbound to a tanky support provides."
I was told that they couldn't be sure when they'd get to it, but that they would look into it.
I'm not sure if it's intentional, but it makes relic shield a hard item to go with Kali, but hard not to since Kali works well with Tanky supports.
