You don't really want this. Melee without range is like have sunny days without rain. It's nice for a bit, you may have a picnic or a nice holiday to the beach -- but pretty soon those sunny days don't mean much any more -- you become accustom to them.
Still the weather is nice enough, for the time being. Then you realize that you're not able to find any fresh fruits or veggies a the market, and the creek you like to fish in has dried up. Then drinking water is rationed, and you're terribly thirsty. You haven't bathed in weeks and you'd do anything for a bit of air moisture to get this choking dust out of your eyes and throat -- it's everywhere! Sorry mate, no rain, no water. Now you pray for rain and wish it had never left. It's so dry...
The raining of arrows that you so disdain is that same force that spills the blood of patriots with which the tree of liberty is watered.
