I agree with everything here except the leveling part in BGs.
It's not a big deal and is not something that is worthy of wasting time fixing/repairing it.
It's not game breaking, but constant ccs and stuns are.
Melee can't do shit against pillar huggers and runners that are constantly ccing and kitting you.
Devs keep nerfing melees and ruining melee builds everyday.
In 1s arena in top 30 I think that like 95% are kitters/ccers. That says a lot doesn't it?
Anytime I was able to get into top 10 as a melee the abilities that I was using were getting nerfed every time until my build became useless in 1s against kitters and ccers, coincidence? I don't think so.
Maybe it's just because admins and devs are ccers and kitters so they fit the game to themselves. Possible? Yes.
