In old formula, long range and short range weapons had less dps than medium range weapon. Old formula must have been nonlinear.
And it was logically better than new one. Because long range and short range have significant advantages than medium range.
Edit:
To understand the advantage of short and long range i have 2 examples.
Imagine a weapon with 200 range. Cost is 10k. Its dps will be ~3300. When a tank with this weapon tp and stun you, you are dead in seconds before you are released from stun.. It will be too imba..
Imagine a weapon with 3500 range and 10k and hero only. Its dps will be 200. But it will hit you safely and permanently. And out of tp range...
Longer range gets safer and and shorter range gets dangerous.
