Stop trying to nerf melee because magic needs to be unfucked. Unfuck magic instead.
People aren't trying to nerf melee because magic is bad, they're trying to get magic buffed because magic is bad and melee nerfed because it is to good.
But melee
isn't too good. By it's very nature of being melee, it has to be doing more for it's investment because it's missing two key components that are present on most magic abilities: Range and AoE. If you buff magic and nerf melee, then all you have done is swap who is being saddled with the more garbage playstyle for no good reason.
