On Hit items, And Runes

I find it weird that things like grasp of the undying and Tiamat work on champions that have a range and melee attack, default to the melee attack for damage and on hit affected. such as Gankplank using his Q, to poke and use grasp of the dying, doing full damage and not the 40% it should be doing. as well as poppy shield attack being able to activate Tiamat and hydra items, as well as using the active item on Titanic Hydra to have a ranged cone attack. There may be other champs that have these but it's a weird interaction that doesn't fallow other champs such as Nar, being able to build any item melee or ranged, but it only activating when he is in mega or normal Nar respectively. IE Ruinas Hurricane on Normal Nar haveing additional projectiles, But mega Nar only getting the stats of the item and not the unique passive of additional projectiles.

It's 60% for ranged autos not 40%. For poppy its fine but GP should be changed, too op and he has other rune options.

it has to do with how melee/ranged is coded i guess. If it's just a variable on a champ it could work exactly like it does right now. Gnar and kayle would toggle it during their respective form switches and poppy would just be an rfc as passive. while GP is simply explained by it being a ranged ability that applies on hit on a melee champ in any scenario of handling melee/ranged in the code.

I'm in no way good at programming and considering league's age it's probably not in a language i understand in any extent so it could be completely different.

considering you're most likely talking from a balance perspective it's probably not what you want to hear, but considering it's riot i think it's probably a valid reason. I honestly think Grasp GP is disgusting to play against but idk if riot sees it as problematic. Poppy is in no way problematic imo but i'm prolly biased.

Mildly infuriating that you cant spell GNAR Gnar

Poppy is fine since her shield has a longer cooldown. Gangplank however can proc Grasp as often as anyone else with his Q.
