Stacking ability range reduces effective range

[lavaboemer]

For some reason, when an item gives you a bunch of ability range (for example: enhanced trophy collector), then getting more items with ability range, end up decreasing your effective range.

In this first image, I only have trophy collector with 99 stacks:
As can be seen, the kudzu range goes from right in front of Ivy, all the way to the buildings in the back.

But then, when I buy a bunch of range increasing items, the area becomes significantly smaller:

Now, when I still want to hit the back buildings, it doesn't even come close to hitting the car right in front of Ivy.

I think it's probably due to ability range having a softcap with other items except for (enhanced) trophy collector? You can only get so high with range on normal items, and that softcap gets retroactively applied to trophy collector's "weight" and ends up reducing your total range.

Only item is enhanced trophy collector at 99 stacks:


E. trophy collector 99 stacks + greater range:


E. trophy collector 99 stacks + other ability range increasing items (including ballistic enchantment on my used ability)
