DE has discussed this issue before.

Because the Charge Attacks are initiated by holding down the normal melee button they had two options on how to do it.

1. When you press the melee button you immediately do a normal melee attack and then if you're still holding it afterward you do a charge attack.

2. When you press the melee button the game waits to see if you're going to hold down the key, if you do it does a charge attack and if you don't then you do a normal attack.

They decided on option 1 because having a delay literally every time you try to melee attack is terrible and would be infuriating.
