Title, I'm convinced this is not a bad idea because the AoE is more useful for waveclear than it is for teamfighting.
It would help on-hit junglers and melee carries; classes that have been historically weak or broken. ( mostly weak )
This is more relevant after the 
nerf, intended to diversify ADC builds from 
. It indirectly nerfed these guys 
just to name a few.
What do you guys think? :)
IcyPepper2 votesBecause it's on-HIT. Aoe is splash, not direct.
And on some melee carries, balancing would be a nightmare. (Remember Fiora's ult already was nerfed in the past? She would have to be gutted in order to compensate for the inevitable hydra+botrk+IE+PD+LW ult)
YOU BEEN WARNED1 votesBut Fiora's ult itself doesn't crit. It's just the 
splash that is going to, and it's hits have their dmg reduced based on distance so.. So long people aren't standing next to each other, it should be fine.
IcyPepper2 votesNot, I'm referring to when she cleans up with two aa splashes that can crit and kill an entire team afterwards :/
Thing is, it'll add way too much dps to melee carries when they already have the damage for single-target assassination.
YOU BEEN WARNED1 votesIf they kill 1 target, they are not melee carries. They are assassins. ; and melee carries certainly are not assassins because they don't have the reliable escapes ( 
(E reset) 
) or the burst/strong pick ( 
)
They deal sustained damage.
When was the last time you took high Q damage from GP's 
splash?
Keep in mind, damage to the initial target will not change. It's the cluttered/secondary champions that will be effected.

Either way, anybody like Fiora is going to get nerfed hard if that happened. She's an assassin, but she's also an attack damage carry (despite being melee). She's just great at taking towers.
Lord Dusteon1 votesBecause that would give AoE crits to everyone?
YOU BEEN WARNED1 votesThe range is very small, it would decay to 20% damage on the edge. For farming purposes yes, a high crit chance would destroy waves. But why would he buy when exists? Same as the 
vs previous argument for ADCs.
It would give him another option as Hydra is generally the waveclear item. will serve better in teamfights, unless you're fighting like 3 bruisers for some reason... which then it would be niche and good for the game.
aaronautumn1 votesDoesn't hydra do that already??
YOU BEEN WARNED1 votesNo no, it only applies lifesteal. 
and 
do not proc their DoT passives off with the AoE splash, for example.
If this change does happen, can apply his passive to an enemy by hitting the adjacent minion.
aaronautumn1 votesoops i was thinking of the ranged one
