Intended Ember Nerf?

[Iskarioth]

After patch 8.1.3 i noticed the improved visuals on ember. I Iooked at the patchnotes and it said somehting about overheat. But WoF got changed as well it seems. I wouldn't mind if the visuals would be the only thing that changed but after asking some other ember players we came to the conclusion that WoF has a much smaller range now. Either it was decreased or the range-mod doesn't work anymore. Since I couldn't  find this on the patchnotes may I hope it's a bug or is it intended?

 

Edit: I tested it multiple times: Stretch doesn't work anymore. The new visual flame ring doesn't move outwards when stretch is equiped and neither does the aoe. I stood still while infested were coming at me, the damaged always starts when they enter the flames. Right now I might as well use the flame rign ability. I find it  a little odd that no one else is complaining about this.
