Cheer!
I think this is a good step in the right direction. If you want branded ranged attacks, just get a launcher with the brand.. seems fair enough. Velocity+another brand was indeed stacking too many brands. When you had tons of flavors of ranged ammo, it was indeed more difficult to manage inventory. Also, knowing that you are playing sub-optimally if you don't change your ammo to the appropriate type for every other shot was tedious. Granted, a person could still swap launchers to gain a different brand, but it will take time and be on par with melee weapons.
As for the god gifts, I don't think it's a big deal. The time when you are the most concerned about running out of ammo is in the very beginning and you don't have the piety immediately anyhow. Later on you typically have so much ammo you would be hard pressed to ever run out. The only thing I think might make sense if it's not already happening is if you already have say 1,500 arrows in inventory, the god gifting might look at that and lower the chance of getting ammo greatly as a result.. but as pointed out already, Oka and Trog are already very strong gods and I don't see them as needing to be helped.
