I don't know if this was intended, but it is really hard to use the Relic shield 
passive with Thresh 
. It could be because he is ranged or something to do with the passive on Flay. A good quality of life change would be to increase clarity on when you can execute something or to help him in particular out with the execute range. Is anyone else noticing this?
Void Nargacuga3 votesYes it IS because he is ranged. The execution passive is Melee.
You have to CS somewhat normally. Taking E (Flay) first helps with this due to it ramping up the damage (its not OMG! crazy but it helps) of his next auto attack if he waits a bit.
IntentCity1 votesOkay that makes sense. It's just weird because he is ranged but doesn't seem like he's ranged. Plus he is the only ranged champ that I've ever played that item on.
Void Nargacuga1 votesHe is actually the only Ranged Support that even suggests getting this item on him.
Sukishoo1 votesActually most of the time it suggested 
on him.
Void Nargacuga1 votesIf i'm not mistaken (I may be) its been changed what is on to . But yeah I remember seeing that before in the Suggested feature. I've just gotten use to using on him.
Sukishoo1 votesThey might have changed it, since it is popular on him now.
Void Nargacuga1 votesIts a tricky item to get use to on him... I still mess up at timing my last hits even with Flay on occasion. [slayer-jinx-unamused]
Sukishoo1 votesSo they did change it to the now (just looked in-game lolz)
Yeah it can still be tricky to get used too. Any kind of ranged champion that uses a melee proc item is difficult, but he was never meant to be that easy afterall.
Void Nargacuga2 votesNo kidding on not being easy. XD Fun as hell though! So much potential... So many ways to fuck up as well.
FreudFromSKA2 votesHonestly frustrating item on thresh. It reminds me of the champs who are junglers but can't efficiently use the jungle items.
Maximum Morde2 votesI used to get relic shield on Veigar support lol
DadBodMan1 votesTHANKYOU!

I used to get relic shield on Veigar support lol
I used to go tank support 
with relic just to piss people off, but with how his stacks work now he would still end up with 1000 ap
Savage Devi1 votesWe already have all the clarity we need. The relic shield expressly states that the execution effect is melee only, and it should be clear to anyone who's tossed a single basic attack as Thresh that he is ranged.
Void Nargacuga2 votesI remember seeing someone claim that he is a "Ranged melee" in one of these threads once... WTF?!
At least this OP asked if its due to him being ranged.
BattleMan691 votesWell he IS melee in the sense that his auto attacks have no projectile in them, but ranged in the sense that he cannot use relic shields passive and can make use of the hurricane passive. He isn't fully ranged.
Void Nargacuga1 votesHe is fully ranged. He can buy and fully benefit from 
but cannot benefit at all from 
and its upgrades. Heck he can't even BUY Tiamat.
BattleMan691 votesare there any other ranged champions with instantaneous auto attacks that don't travel? item effects aside
Void Nargacuga1 votes
with Righteous Fury active is the definition of LITERALLY no travel time because its instant and even gets to deal damage in an AoE, and 
(Organic Deconstruction - Basic Attacks: Vel'Koz's basic attacks don't use projectiles).
's auto do take a SMALL amount of time in between the auto animation and damage being dealt.
As noted here in his passive:
Damnation Basic Attacks: Thresh's basic attacks do not utilize projectiles, and his basic attack wind-up is only reduced by 0.25% per 1% bonus attack speed, rather than the standard 1%.
BattleMan691 votestrue I didn't think about that. I concede
Void Nargacuga1 votesIts fine... I lurk the League of Legends Wikia often when I'm confused or curious about something... Which can be often at times, or when I need to point out how things work like passives or abilities.
EndlessSorcerer1 votesRelic Shield explicitly states that it only executes minions on MELEE autoattacks (in the first sentence of its description).
How is this, in any ways, confusing? It is very explicit.
IntentCity1 votesMaybe it would be helpful to read the whole description every once in a while xD. That being said, it is a good item on thresh otherwise plus it is recommended. Sometimes I go amulet coin instead.
SUPP0RT MAIN1 votesLol , this is intended. Since thresh is ranged you have to get the killing blow for the relic shield to proc on your adc. Riot made it like this because he is ranged meaning he can get it from far away so their going to make getting it to proc harder. For melee champs it only takes only a few aa's and boom, because in the process of getting it to proc your also likely to take damage from poke since you are going up to the minion and are closer to the enemy. All in all this is intended, and I am a support main and thresh is part of the very few supports I play and it's not that hard. If you know how to cs properly getting your relic to proc is easy .
IntentCity1 votesRight. It's just a matter of not being used to it not executing below a certain threshold (pun intended). Reasons why I can't get out of silver.
