Can Grasp please no longer be halved for ranged champions?

With the PBE changes where the healing on Grasp has been halved, it's the same as it is for ranged champions. Guess what? The only ranged champion who uses it is Gnar. These changes are going to hit Gnar when he really doesn't need another hit to him. Making Grasp have full effect for ranged will only buff damage, not sustain, and Fervor is just a much better option for damage. There will still be a clear tradeoff, but it will make it so that Grasp is at least a viable alternative for players who prefer Grasp on Gnar (instead of Fervor).

Yeah, I know there's a bunch of Gnar haters out there, but please don't let your hatred of him cloud your thinking. He's not meta right now at all, and his counters are being buffed and the tank meta where he should thrive is starting to fall away. He would be the only champion to really benefit from the changes, and it's not going to make him even remotely overpowered.

Although thunderlord, fervor, warlord, and DFT already work well on him......

they don't use grasp currently, and this would not increase the healing at all compared to live. graves is happy with warlord's, and if anything, grasp would make him more interactive because it only procs on champions. quinn takes thunderlord's, and grasp can't compare at all with the damage. neither build that tanky (and they don't stack HP) and there's no reason for them to start, so there's no real way that they could abuse grasp

he has no reason to take it over other keystones. fervor is way better for him

I agree with Irelia Bot. Even though I don't have a problem with Gnar and I do want the effect to not get halved for him, but we already see a decent amount of ADCs top lane and doing that might push it even more. No one wants to fight Quinn top as a melee champion...it's one of the most annoying lane match ups (imo).

Unless they can code it and make it so it applies its full effect on Gnar (maybe make it think hes a melee champion all the time) but then people might want the same thing done to other range changing champions like Elise Jayce Kayle Nidalee

Quinn isn't just going to start taking Grasp for no reason. if she was going to, she would have already. Fervor and Thunderlord's are simply better for her because she needs the damage, not sustain. there is simply no way that the damage on Grasp is going to rival the burst from Thunderlord's or the DPS of Fervor. I hate Quinn too, but I'm certain this won't have an effect on her
