Without positionals melee lose a lot of optimization thought and it would further dumb down that role. It's already being trivialized this tier with easy to Levi and Titan just being a giant omnipositional boss most of the time and the rework to True North making further trivializing it. Melees need to keep their positionals.

On the other side I keep seeing people wanting the ranged DPS as a role to do more damage. If they want that, then I think ranged should have distance positionals where they need to be at optimum distance to do the full potency of their moves.
