I see now the point you are making, or at least I assume it so.

The Aoe (either linear or splash) is an aethstetic part of Sauna's God Fist; her punches were supposed to deliver a blow through multiple enemies by either the fist or the splash-pulse it would make from its hard hits.

But now that I review, it may be as you say. Instead of adding the feature, let it be a core design once you reach mid or late game. I had wanted to grant her ult a way to gain Fury from multiple enemies, and possibly thought a reliance on an item was unhealthy, but it may not be so anymore.

What would you propose then if that's what you believe? I considered keeping the range buff to abilities, along with adding range to AA instead of granting a splash (resulting in Fury gain from abilities too?), but you may offer something better.
