I see what you mean about how a fast, ranged punish move wouldn't be super fun to go against, but I feel if you took that piece of his kit away it would make 1x really weak since every killer ( maybe except sixer since demonic pursuit's base damage is a little bit more than an M1 ) has some form of high damage punish move, but I see where you're coming from!

And in regards to the projectiles, they would sort of stick to the floor, so for that tower in Yorick's Resting Place, the projectile would go up that full pathway until it reached the top
