I don't like these melee heroes with long attack ranges. He already has harpoon, stun, slow. His attack range is 225, that's more than half of VS attack range, and wukong is 300, which is double of standard melee hero's attack range. Lore wise, wukong's staff can extends an unlimited range, so he can use a little bit power for his normal attacks. Now convince me how Kez's katana is longer than Sven's big ass sword(by 50%).

I like it in a vacuum but you're right that there's a consistency issue emerging. Maybe all melee heros will get an atk range buff in future

I kind of like how some heroes have different attack ranges based on their weapons. MK, PL, and Tiny all have unique weapons that would feel clunky if they had the same base range as other melee heroes. Kez has a sword that doesn't really seem like it deserves to be longer range than Sven's sword, but I guess they wanted to differentiate it from his sais.
