Why doesn't Relic Shield execute always work on Thresh?
When I go to use my Relic Shield stacks to execute a minion, it doesn't always work. Why is that?
I know that Relic Shield says "melee auto-attacks execute minions", but since Thresh can't buy Hurricane, doesn't that mean his auto-attacks are melee?
Best Answer
This confusion comes from misinformation that Thresh is no longer able to build Runaan's Hurricane. This bug was fixed in patch 5.23.
The Relic Shield appears to execute properly at times solely because of the bonus damage from Flay.
The important thing to remember is that the Relic Shield effect still works even if you don't proc the execute. As long as you get the last hit, it will proc its heal/gold share. The last hit for the heal/gold proc can be performed with any source of damage whether from auto attack or skill.

Thresh's auto attacks are considered ranged, because he has an attack range of 425. His auto attacks aren't blocked by Yasuo's Wind Wall because it is not a projectile, similar to Rakan's auto attacks.Why Doesn’t Yeat Say Nigga
