AFAIK long range requires far more skill than extreme short range. Keeping range in order to hit only your wished target is challenging, having poison magic and porting right onto your enemy requires almost no skill to hit your target ;-)
But long range will almost always fall behind since you will "waste" damage often due hitting dead target (long travel time of a projectile) or kinda over damaging a target. Also the thingy about hitting buildings make them a weak weapon.
I highly suggest Basic Magic, Electro Cannon and Swarm Rockets as early game weapon with some range for beginners.
In single player you can use the "-showrange x" command (x=1: avg. range, 2: max range, 3: min range, 0: disable) to have a visual of those ranges.
