I'm experiencing a bug as Thresh in bottom lane when Relic Shield
and subsequent items are only intermittently executing minions for the heal. While last hitting minions will produce the heal, the items execute effect isn't happening
Lavaniel1 votesI submitted this a long time back and was told it wasn't a bug but the fact that Thresh wasn't considered melee so the item would always be conflicting with him.
Zydin1 votesThe execute is for melee auto attacks not ranged. And thresh is ranged.
Jetridder111 votesThis is the reason Thresh is the only Ranged support to use this item. It shouldn't be much trouble with his Flay's extra damage, but you will not get the execute effect since Thresh isn't melee. Read the item description, it says it only works for melee.
Hexadex1 votesWas this a recent change? Why did they only have this effect for melee?
Deep Terror Nami1 votesI heard it used to proc off ranged, but was changed because it created a super easy farming experience for ranged or something. It has been melee only since I joined early last season, not sure when the change happened.
4nth0l0gy2 votesThis is correct. When relic shield was first released, it made duo top and duo ADC competitively viable and even preferable. It wasn't supposed to be as safe as it ended up being, so they removed the execute for ranged Champs and increased the cooldown on its procs.
TaNKeD1 votesI see it all the time and it works only when Thresh is within melee 'range' of a minion. So if he's max range auto from a minion it won't proc. If he's beside it it works fine. Go create a custom game with a friend and test it.
