Serious question -- Hammer Forged says increased range and accuracy. Has for either a long time or since forever.
But some unofficial sites I visit don't mention an aim-assist buff, just the x% buff to range.
I thought they only somewhat recently did the whole range -> aim assist effectiveness thing.

Range does effect aim assist, it always has people just didn't know it. The range bonus from hammer forged in this set-up is so small though that it wouldn't matter or be noticeable.
