While I mostly agree with you, you are falling into the same trap that lots of "pure numbers" people do. It doesn't tell the whole story. I don't mind dying to golden gun. I get a warning. They aren't invulnerable. They have to aim. I get pissed off dying to fist of panic. No warning. They can bullet sponge during. No skill required. There is no counter. Sunsingers melee % is skewed. Twice as many players use Sunsinger than Voidwalker. So yes, the totals for melee are also skewed. Your own numbers show the issue with shoulder charge. Despite the disparity in popularity and apparent overall effectiveness and lack of range on the melee, the only class with more melee kills is the Sunsinger.... which by the way accounts for over 2/3rds of the warlock PvPers. One you figure that all in, it begs the question: how can such an unrepresented population account for such a high % in a particular category? Unless it is overly effective in that category? The issue isn't effectiveness. The issue is the feeling of cheapness, frustration, lack of skill needed, and the lack of counters. There is much more to it than just numbers. There is an emotional and psychological aspect.
