"Increases the range and effect radius of your abilities and items" yet does not increase the range of all items. Greater expansion should increase the heavy melee distance of melee charge/crushing fists from 50/60 percent to 67/81 percent respectively. Considering how good players are getting at parrying now, the long remove debuff reduction of getting parried, and how heavy melee only really being used when hero is stunned (i.e., after charged by abrams), it would be a small buff at a decent cost. This would mainly synergise with abrams/billy and provide more movement tech to characters that are slow and enduring speed feels mandatory on. The greater distance would come with a trade off too, in some cases it would give more time to parry against and not feel unblanced. Plus with melee being nerfed in general loads.

yeah no. melee distance is already fucky and annoying beyond belief. wouldnt make sense to be able to melee 500 feet away
Melee has been nerfed a ton (outside of melee in some abilities, e.g., calicos slash, billy's bash, goo-punch), it would hardly be a buff and still incredibly easy to dodge (just jump, lol). The longer distance would even give you more time to hit F. Bluetooth melee is a hugely overstated problem.
