Thresh and Relic Shield Quests

So in the patch notes it reads that Executing minions gives bonus shield regen. > Relic Shield’s item line gains Shield Battery on quest completion, granting a permanent shield for 250 (+5 per level) that regenerates out of combat.

Executing minions accelerates the regeneration What I don't understand is that this wording implies you need to use the passive execute damage to get the bonus. However, Thresh does not get this proc since he is ranged. Unless something has changed, I think it is still reasonable for him to build this item, and it feels like he is the only support gimped out of this bonus. I think it would be fine if they just made this line read like the quest description, and make it dependent on the passive gold transfer. >Complete Relic Shield’s quest by earning 650 gold through its passive gold generation and the Spoils of War passive, and upgrading to Targon’s Brace or higher (progress preserved through item upgrades).

Maybe I'm missing something, but I feel like the quest completion and bonus would work differently for Thresh.
