I have trouble getting Relic
Shield to proc on Thresh's 
auto attacks... maybe its something i do or maybe this is an actual issue, like if i dont do enough dmge to kill the minion the extra dmge from relic doesn't come with.. so basically the minion has to be at 50 health or below :(.. Maybe the Flay passive conflicts with it..?
Archon X5 votesThresh does not execute, he has to legitimately last hit them to proc the charge

Thresh does not execute, he has to legitimately last hit them to proc the charge
^ this because he is classified as "ranged melee"
and as a relic main :D i recommend just going coin, unless youre having serious trouble sustaining in lane/ or are going to actually rush/finish face of the mountain for its active; coin is ALMOST always going to give double the gold that relic will
EndlessSorcerer1 votesThere is no such thing as a "ranged melee". One could argue for champions who change form (i.e. Nidalee, Jayce, Elise) or for Kayle, but they just change between melee and ranged; they aren't both melee and ranged simultaneously.
Thresh's autoattack doesn't have a projectile, but it is still a ranged autoattack.
Professor Ward1 votesThere is no such thing as a "ranged melee" (unless you want to argue that Kayle or form-shifters count). His autoattack doesn't have a projectile, but it is still a ranged autoattack.
well if you want to argue semantics there a very few champions that are melee in game, as the definition of melee doesnt actually have anything to do with projectiles and has more to do with confusion and hand to hand

so basically the use of melee here and in other games is completely wrong.
EndlessSorcerer1 votesThis isn't arguing semantics. There is a very clear delineation between ranged and melee champions and no champion can be both simultaneously.
http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Melee_champion
Champions classified as Melee are recognizable by their melee-ranged Basic Attacks.
All Melee champions start with a Basic Attack range that can vary from 125 to 200.
http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Ranged_champion
Ranged champions are recognizable for their long-ranged autoattacks, meaning they can be fairly far away from their target and still deal damage.
Ranged champions have a wide spread of level 1 autoattack ranges between 400 to 650.
LegendaryLemur1 voteswiktionary https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/melee 1.Hand-to-hand combat, brawl. https://www.wordnik.com/words/melee comments section (comment by telruen): Adjective of or related to hand-to-hand combat..... Note:This usage has been around for more than 2 decades, usually in RPG video games, tabletop war games, some card games and as part of discussions related to these. Many gamers (including ex-gamers) are familiar with this usage and would use the word "melee" this way.
Just because the dictionary has not caught up to the use of a word, does not mean that word is not a part of the language. English, like most (all?) languages, is ever-evolving.
Traxinator2 votesThresh's auto attacks are considered to be ranged attacks due to their long range. (You can see for yourself by buying a 
, the passive bolts will work)
Due to his autos being ranged, the relic shield execute does not work on him, so you must last hit them legitimately(his flay passive helps).
Hope this helps! [slayer-jinx-wink]
LegendaryLemur2 votesThe execute portion of Spoils of War (the targon's effect) only procs on melee autoattacks.
jballant2 votesOmg thank you all... I never realized they made relic proc on melee hits only.... I figure cuz thresh is probably the only ranged (tank-class) champion
LegendaryLemur1 votesJust to be clear, the relic shield gold-sharing/sustain effect will proc on any minion kill, it's only the execute that is exclusive to melee autoattacks.
EndlessSorcerer2 votesThresh has ranged autoattacks.
The execute only applies on melee autoattacks.
Gold is shared if you kill a minion through any source.
BakedLotion1 votesPS. stop buying relic on thresh. Everytime i have a thresh on my team I can't trust him to proc anything. Everytime they spam ping a cannon minion, they miss it even with the flay passive. All goes downhill from there cause i stop trusting him and last hit it myself, while he spams skills at it.

coin is far more productive in the gold department anyways relic is only useful for minor sustain and fotm active
Traxinator1 votesIt's true that coin is better in the gold department, but since thresh is squishy without items, I prefer relic since it gives me tankyness before I can get my other items.
Traxinator1 votesI normally use relic on thresh, and I have no problem using it.
However, you could ask him just to kill non-cannon minions if the thresh consistently misses.

Yeah i told him i don't want him trying to last hit when im there. I can't risk losing 2 cs every wave because he's incompetent.
