Ranged DPS dominating Slaughter Mode

[Red_Wolf]

Oh yeah? What advantage would a heavy melee team have in a fight against 48 other players who maybe ranged?

The same advantages you have now. You can interrupt 70-80% of caster's spells with no effort. You have roots and stuns. You have better defensive abilities.

The only way to "effectively" play melee is to turtle up with your team and hope other players are stupid enough to overextend into your third of mid. And even then you're still extremely vulnerable to the will of enemy ranged and the benevolence of your team's healers.

If you're saying the smart way to play is to work as a group and force the other teams to screw up, well yeah... That's not something exclusive to melee.
