I wish ranged supports couldn't get relic shield.

Seriously. I get tired of getting supports who build it, on a Rakan, or a damn thresh, and sit there and screw all my minions up trying to proc it. And then, if you dont let them try on the cannon, they rage. Meanwhile they miss 3 in a row.

I'm sure this happens to you in every game in which you role adc. It's also a major problem that minion waves are finite and that CS is so limited in the game. If only more minions would spawn wave after wave infinitely until the game ended. The struggles bro.

  • Me as a support. I have never seen any ADC ever miss a cannon or any creep - ever. I mean, if ADC's missed CS regularly I bet it would be talked about more and they would make huge reddit posts about how important farming is. But everyone is perfect in this game, so that would never happen.

But on Relic Shield, I will make sure to always build FQC when matched up with you and take ignite as Thresh or Rakan.

You don't seem to need or want that healing or shield from Relic. So full AP Thresh/Rakan will be my build. And when I flash - hook/dash - ignite while securing the kill from you. Please don't flame me for taking your attempted kill or gold. I mean, obviously, you don't need it. You have that perfect CS score - since I haven't touched your minions once. So really... I need the kill more than you.

If that doesn't make you happy. I don't know what will. I'm just trying to support you bro and make you happy.

I can also play Pyke on release and never let you get a kill ever. I'll just share my gold with you on ult resets. Because that's all you seem to care about. And Riot understands this. Keep farming and stay rich bro.

Technically it IS the only tank support item in the game

I wouldn't mind if they just made Thresh and Rakan melee champions.

ive just been going ancient coin for rakan and thresh ever since the proc got harder, the heal got weaker and the shield was removed from it

They aren't really ranged. They both have a longer range and a short range. Unfortunately, they don't know they have to walk close to the minions to proc the execute. Sucks, but you legit can't do anything about it. If you say "riot, make ranged supports unable to build relic" and they listen, only supports like lux, ashe, brand, etc will be excluded, not thresh or rakan who are considered melee

Oh please, im more upset thresh and rakan arent exceptions to the melee only rule.

Or they can use abilities or take frost queens or ancient coin

I just wish Thresh and Rakan's close-range attacks counted as Melee since they have their own dedicated melee attack animation for it.
