^ Clueless.
There's afixes that counters ranged just as harshly. Invincible Minions, extra fast, Waller/Jailer combined with Mortar or Arcane, Vortex, just to name a few, if any of those are combined together a range can get completly wrecked.
Its just flawed that DPS built melees are unviable in Inferno atm, i won't argue that and there's some afixes that are bullshit towards melee, but you guys make it sound like any range can cruise trough Inferno and has no counters, wich is completly untrue.

Vortex, Waller, Jailer, Extra fast aren't counters to kiting?
