The range nerf was actually because a lot of the commenters thought he would see action as a bruiser regardless. Like Teemo, Jayce and Quinn, the shorter range compensates their power and means that if they do play bruiser - most gap-closers can reach. *shrugs* I buffed the speed by more than the range was reduced, so you shouldn't actually notice the difference.
