I am the only one who can't into melee classes?
I don't know about new games because I only play very few of them (Old computer), but in old games, melee characters are just annoying. They are pretty much having to drink a thousand potions per second to improve your stats do your ass survives a few seconds more, having to change weapons constantly and just boring.
I mean, as a mage I can use this spell that makes little damage but is cheap and useful for minor critters, or as a ranger you can have a weapon that uses common ammo and change it every two or three levels, but there is never such thing as a melee.
Also general vr rpg discussion.

It depends on the game. Sometimes ranged weapons do too little damage or ammunition is a pain in the ass. Magic can similarly be gimped. Some games don't even give you a choice.
Melee classes will usually have more hit points and can use stronger armor so their chances of survival are higher.
