Create the "Semi-Ranged" champion sub-group
Champions that have range between 300 and 450 but suffer from a counterpart in it's basic attacks or aren't truly categorized as ranged champions (have range but plays as a melee class/subclass) would fall in the group of the "Semi-Ranged" champions.
Champions:
, maybe a future champion
Melee-exclusive Items such as Sterak's (except maybe exploitable items such as tiamat) would include the "Semi-Ranged" champions. This would solve some problems such as making the Relic Shield's passive only proccable to melee champions (since it would mean a indirect nerf to Thresh) or limitations in possible future champion mechanics (maybe another fighter "with range but still works as fighter, like Urgot").
Some useful info:
> BASIC ATTACKS: Thresh's basic attacks do not use projectiles and his basic attack wind-up is only reduced by 0.25% per 1% bonus attack speed (compared to the standard 1% per 1%).
