Or simply get a higher tier weapon and force clangs.

If ranged can kill us in 1-3 shots, then melee should be able to do so in 2-3 as well.

So would the ranged classes...

Throwing Knife Confirmed.

Considering the lag sometimes...its not imposible!

The majority of ranged weapons take far more than 2-3 shots. Sure, there are some outliers (PC, AC, etc. most of which agree they need a nerf), but the majority of weapons need a fair amount of bullets to drop a target. You would be surprised how fast melee can close the gap @30m with a dodge roll and a lunge to stagger.

There are going to be times where as a melee player you're going to run into some ranged player and not have a chance to do anything and vice versa. Unfortunately it does appear ROF is king in this game right now.

In close quarters , of course melee has an advantage (cap points). I do think the time between dodge roll, or falling, etc and not being able to shoot needs to be tweaked downward (ie. faster). I need to do some testing but I think Eldar have a faster recovery time vs. everyone else right now but it could just be bias on my part.

I'll leave this here

Was disappointed to see the video called Revengance yet such a lack of melee kills

Funny that you say about LTP but do not say any actual method to counter RMB spam.
