Hey I'm wanting clarification on if rapid fire cannon's increased attack range works on melee and ranged or just ranged, it would be a little bit strong if it worked on melee imo. If it only works on range please change the name to Rapid FireCannon - Ranged Only

it works on both, but the range increase is a % value, so most melees will get ~40-75range from it(125-200 base range) I'm not sure if it works with rengars passive, seems to not increase his leaprange. It's neat on Wu's Q though,~100 more range for it.

yea poppy hit me with a Q from a significantly longer range than I was anticipating catching me off guard since the buff had just popped up and I thought I was kiting fairly well... not a huge fan of this item tbh especially when it can stack with Statik shiv and make for some insane charge poke charge damage

It works on melee too.

Both, so it gives Rengar really long jump range.

I don't think item 3094 will be a problem on melee champions. Simply because the area of possible attack increase to the square of the range. So champions with higher range will see their area of influence increasing much faster then melee champions. Even if you think of it by a simple arc in front of the champion, arguing that if well positioned the odds of finding a target in the back are small, that arc would still be much larger on ranged champions.

Will this increase the range of Zac's elastic slingshot (his E)?
