Thoughts?
I think you are right except the range of the spit seems a bit over the top. It just feels wrong for a mele only character to have such a range on their best attack.
This I vehemently disagree with. All his other abilities are melee only, and he his slow is one of the least effective (in terms of % slow anyways, if not overall) and is melee only.
Well that I disagree with that as well He is not slow at all. Heck, it doesn't take much to make him a speed demon.
You can make him pretty fast, certainly, but every other assassin has multiple ranged attacks, and indeed, many of the generals have at least one. UB isn't so good that he needs a range nerf on his only mid range attack, especially as easily removed as it is.
Lowering the range on spit would be an absolutely terrible idea. It's the only thing in the game that makes him competitive early game, and it would force every UB to run Swift anklets, which is a stupidly overused item already. I despise how often that favor item is spammed, and this change would make it even worse.
In fact, I'd go so far as to say it is one of the worst possible changes you could make to the UB in general. I'd say that would be the fastest way to make him completely uncompetitive.
If spit was nerfed i'd ask the devs to remove bestial wrath in favor of a spell that either:
Uses his tongue that we saw in early moves.
and / or (preferably and)
something like batswarm so he can do hit and run tactics.
EDIT: Throwing an idea out there he uses his tongue to pull himself to buildings and demigods that also inflicts a small debuff + some damage and / or buff to UB himself.
