Thresh with Relic Shield

buttmanmccheese·Feb 22, 2016·1 votes·523 views

Every time i buy Relic Shield on Thresh and try to kill a minion it fails to execute them the way it does for other champions. A few of my friends have encountered the same problem and we would like to see it fixed.

item 3401 Execute function is melee only. Thresh Is a ranged champion. Sure, it looks like he is a melee champion, because he is clearly connected to his kusarigama, but is still considered a ranged champion, since a kusarigama gives you range.

Hope this helped out.

Well now it all makes sense. Thank you for the info, i will be sure to not make that mistake in the future.

I'd like to see people not posting "bugs" about Ranged Champions, not getting a Melee Execute... but I don't think either of us will get what we want.

TL;DR Thresh is ranged, not melee, working as designed.

To be fair, Thresh is not designated as a ranged champion at any point, and the phrase "Thresh's basic attacks do not utilize projectiles" can be read to mean that his attacks are non-ranged. so it's easy to understand why people mistake his autos for melee attacks. You can't expect every player to have inherent knowledge of these things before playing him; it's the poor wording from the tooltip that misleads people into believing that he's a melee champion.

The fact that Thresh also doesn't follow a typical ranged play pattern doesn't help, either.

To be fair, a few seconds search on the boards would've yielded three dozen other threads that site this as a "bug" and doing any manner of research would've yielded a solution that doesn't involve posting on the forums. No inherent knowledge needed, the report a bug forums are so others can read and see what others are experiencing and add their own data to further help Riot diagnose actual issues. If the user was intent on helping to identify a bug, wouldn't the better first step be a search instead of adding more noise to the forums?

Sure, they could have and should have done some research first. But that doesn't change the fact that research shouldn't be necessary in order to make that kind of distinction because it's an integral part of playing him successfully. If the recurring problem is that people aren't receiving necessary information, the appropriate fix is to ensure that players are receiving that information outright so that there is no research to be had.

Whether or not they used the boards correctly is not relevant to my point that that information is not readily available to the user as it should be.

omg please read the item. it says that it only executes minions if you're melee.

The execute portion is melee only. Gold share+sustain is for ranged and melee. Otherwise we'd have ranged targon supports who can sustain from safety.

You are able to get the gold/heal if you last hit the minion in any way. The melee requirement is for the bonus execute damage only. Thresh has a bonus damage on his Flay that may be mistaken for execute damage from the item.
