Keydar from Dark Legacy Comics is a prefect representation of the theme of this topic.
Ranged are F'ed over just as well as melee. As more mechanics target them and require them to move, and since casters devolved back to turret specs they do almost 0 damage apart from DoTs during that. Plus usually have to move out of range of the boss, as in many cases mechanics leave permanent puddles of hurt and have to be placed in a real estate conscious manner.
