Thresh and relic shield not working properly

Whitestar2010·Aug 23, 2016·1 votes·1,011 views

I don't know if this has been reported before but has anyone else noticed that relic shield when used on thresh doesn't proc the effect properly. Relic shield should as long as you have stacks kill the minion after roughly about half there hp is gone (not exact figure just generally) yet with thresh even with stacks you have to last hit the minion to even get it to proc?

I don't know whether this is with just thresh or another factor but it is annoying to you and the adc you are supporting when you are beating minions senseless with stacks and they won't die? has anyone else been having this issue or just me?

The execute only occurs on melee autoattacks.

Thresh is a ranged champion. Use the bonus damage Flay provides for Thresh's autoattacks to last hit minions.

This false bug report has been repeated several times a week for years at this point. People need to learn how to read properly...

Well obviously i never knew thresh classed as ranged since he swings a melee weapon but still if that was how they intended then why put relic shield as a ideal start item for thresh. I am not saying thresh should be special but still it is annoying.

Also as for the sarcastic comment i haven't been reading the forum for years so i wouldn't know what has been on the forum and what hasn't but thank you for explaining the reason why it doesn't proc just next time with less attitude would be appreciated.

well all of his abilties are ranged and his auto attack is nearly as far as some adc's soo for him to be consider melee is a misnomer.

its really hard to proc the passive on relic shield, its usually best to go item 3096 but you dont get to heal adc with passive or get bonus gold from execute of minions. and you lack a lil hp. but the cd and mana regen is wonderful and the full item item 3069 is really strong outside of laning phase . maybe consider going either attack damage reds, armor yellows, gold per 10 quints and mr/cdr blues *quints can be changed to personal style i like the gold income. * or flat armor reds, flat hp seals 1 flat armor quint 2 gold per ten quints and cdr blues. only issue is you are facing heavy ap poke from support. but if you go item 3301 you get hp per minion that dies and you have flat hp seals for + 72hp lvl 1. plus the 13% cdr at lvl 1 means more hooks. and its really easy to get to max cdr with flat cdr blues, item 3069 item 3110 well its 38% but yea .

You didn't hit the reply button; I'd recommend you do so in the future if you want a response.

Thresh is a ranged champion. While his autoattack doesn't have a projectile (similar to Azir and Vel'koz), his autoattack range (450 units) still fits within the ranged designation.

See here: http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Range

Each champion begins the game with a particular base autoattack range. This can vary from 125 to 250 for melee units and 400 to 650 for ranged units.

still if that was how they intended then why put relic shield as a ideal start item for thresh.

Relic Shield is recommended on Thresh because:

It provides a heal (which Thresh lacks)
It provides durability (which tank supports love)
Thresh's Flay passive lets him last hit minions easily due to the bonus damage it provides, letting him easily use the charges even without the execute.
