Wish they beef up the extremly low skillfloor for some melee

Too easy to play and it attracts bad players that got no incentive to become better.
Join any random battleground and you will see that 70% of the ones playing according to objectives are not melee. Warriors and DKs are the worst.
Stancedance - too hard, not being able to attack without blowing an immunity like AMS first - too hard.
Etc etc

Then again, players are entitled to do whatever they like in a battleground and PvP isn't balanced around regular non-rated battlegrounds, just sad that developers encourage players to pick a extremly low skillfloor class and simply be just bad.
Tunnelvision, pick a target, pop all cooldowns and disregard battleground objectives, interrupts, positioning, teammates

But as ranged you have no idea how good you have it.

You have the luxury of standing still and observing the battleground while doing your rotation (obviously not if a melee attacks you)... melee have to make sure we are in range of our target all the time (who is constantly jumping like a little fucking moron).

That doesn't have to mean that as a melee you are forced to dissmount every time you see an enemy and just zerg?
Seems odd that a large portion of melee in battlegrounds think battlegrounds are won by killing random people.
The fact that many melee just run into the closest target when there is a healer behind him. Obviously some times the path is blocked to the healer but even when it isn't, where there is a big fight going on when they arrive they still pick to charge closest one and being just bad by neglecting the power of healers that gets to freecast.

Bad melee might be able to beat up on bad casters but as soon as they run into one with any skill they'll get facerolled. I'd also like to know where you got that 70 percent figure from...seems completely made up.

I think this has less to do with the melee classes and more to do with the player.

Quit QQing, so the game might take 6 minutes instead of 5, not a big deal even if it took 15, it's just PvP no one really cares about it anyways

There are a lot of bad melee out there, true... but there are a lot of bad *players* out there in general, regardless of class. I see ranged classes chasing kills instead of objectives all the time.

One thing you have to consider is that melee classes (with a few exceptions) have an extremely difficult time disengaging from a fight. This is particularly true of warriors pre-Heroic Leap, death knights, and paladins. It's almost impossible to disengage from a ranged class safely. The upshot of this is that every time you pass within range of a ranged class as you're riding to an objective, you have to evaluate the likelihood that they're going to try to hit you while you're mounted, because if you wait for the Concussive Shot - Aimed Shot or Deep Freeze - Shatter, you're going to be at an incredible disadvantage compared to getting the jump on that ranged. A significant fraction of those melee you see fighting midfield aren't necessarily chasing kills so much as trying to defend themselves, either proactively or after being knocked off their mount.
