Basically, you should be able to throw potions further. This could be achieved by sort of 'charging up' a throw, like how you charge up a bow when trying to shoot someone far from your reach. In my opinion it would be useful because in PvP I've often hit myself with my own splash potion when moving forward whilst throwing a splash potion at an opponent.
The only problem I can see is the distance of which this can achieve. If it can be thrown 20 blocks, that would be ridiculous. I'd say that the maximum distance a charged up throw can achieve would be somewhere between 10-15 blocks, though I'm sure that someone else can come up with a better idea for how far they could be thrown.
Yes Deonyi, I used the search bar.

To all of you people who think Notch is still working on the game, he stopped working on Minecraft in late 2011. Get your facts straight and stop spamming his twitter about Minecraft updates.
Splash potions are used for close quarters and if you don't have time to drink a potion. Them being used as grenades will ruin the point of them. No support.

Would you be able to suggest a better distance then?

I'm kind of on the fence about this. The stupid update to PS3 has made it so you can only throw the potions roughly 4 blocks, I haven't counted though. It's pathetic making a harming potion in my hunger game maps basically useless. Some more distance would be great if you think about it Minecraft characters aren't weak they could wind up and throw it further. Full support.

Plus, it would be pretty OP if you somehow earned a Harming IV potion-- which can instantly kill a player-- farther than the current distance.
No support.

Check out my new game, Legends of Aekran!
Potions aren't supposed to be long-ranged weapons; I like how they are currently.
Potions aren't bows
