for the love of god check your tank supports for stacks before you spam spells on the cannon minions because nothing tilts a tank support more than not being able to cash in stacks especially with the new quest

PSA: If you miss 2 cannons in a row as Thresh you have lost all Cannon privileges for the rest of the game.

my question here is why go relic shield with him when the armor on talisman and mana from mana coins synergizes with him too well

oSEXYPLATYPUSoMay 31, 20172 votes

it is recommended on thresh for the fact that he is consider front line type of champ... while not having scaling armor per lvl and the lowest base armor in the game at 16 (due to the passive of collection souls giving him armor) having relic shield a way to give him bonus HP to start the game, hp regen, and when he does last hit a minion he can still proc the gold share and hp healing to his adc is why its recommended.

this is why most guides has thresh running ad reds as a support in order to make it easier to last hit

Because wannabe Thresh players copy these newbs

Coin is kinda shit right now, and Relic is pretty good in lane. Coin is still pretty decent against heavy AD comps, or if you REALLY need the Talisman active.

Any heavy poke or heavy engage lanes, you should reconsider taking coin, because it telegraphs your position, and you'll need the health if you're going to get engaged on.

I main Thresh but I prefer coin, mostly because low elo ADCs have PTSD over Threshes and relic.

Mid Laners are especially guilty of this.

As soon as they see you coming they blow everything on the creeps

lol dude im ok in lane with it... what blows as a support with relic is midgame/group stage when you have 4 charges and any time you try to proc it the stupid ass team blows up the wave or whatever creep you are trying to execute limiting your gold income and theirs by their own stupidity and greed

i'm just saying when a lucian ults a minion wave with a cannon minion in it more than once during a game it kinda erks me little

FooDangMay 31, 20171 votes

Clearing the cannon minion wave faster and pushing your cannon to the tower denies more xp and gold to the enemy lane. It also keeps the wave there long enough to stall the next wave so when you back you have enough time to get back to lane before the enemy can push to the tower.

but a support with relic can still help with that and proc the passive gold share of it, getting gold for both you and the support

Annoying yes... but to be fair when i have spellthiefs i tend to straight up throw the game trying to get my stacks off. When i have to do dumb shit to get relic stacks, its usually a "bait"

Could we make it that item 3401 automatically proc when a nearby minion dies and also on kill/assist? It would help tank supports a lot.

Bouncemaster ZacMay 31, 20171 votes

The item has been in the game for years, and on top of that you can alt+click to ping number of stacks now. At this point, I believe there aren't any adcs left who don't know what the item does and they're doing it on purpose because they don't want their support to have gold.

I often play botlane with a duo partner and the synergy with making sure that we have maximum efficiency with relic shield stacks is so good. I would recommend that if you are playing with relic shield alot you get a duo partner. I know this isn't always possible but it helps a ton
