GP Q radius, Meant to be a Nerf or Buff?

I kinda curious if the smaller radius to Q is a Nerf or suppose to be a buff, I do not like it as much just because its feels like champs can sit on the barrel with you trying to parrley the barrels but instead hitting the champ, I feel that this looks like a minor setback but a huge change in the long run or idk I might be just complaining for no reason but I'm curious if this was meant to be a Nerf or to help the summoner aim at the minions more directly than the barrels but honestly if its a buff I kinda prefer the old radius but I might have to just suck it up and get used to it like the new UI, which looks dandy fine. If its a nerf then I really gotta get used to it.
