TL;DR:  If Rifles, Shotguns, and Pistols get 10 rank mods, why shouldn't melee weapons get it, too? #SHREKT

What are you going to say next?

"Hornet Strike doesn't need 10 ranks! You can increase the fire rate, crit chance, and damage!"

"Serration doesn't need 10 ranks! You can increase the fire rate, crit chance, and damage!"

Melee weapons have limited range, so you have to go up there and get shot, you can't just hide behind cover while ripping a Lancer to shreds in with your sword. Guns can shoot everything and destroy everything at a way longer range than melee weapons.

You think you can knock something down without getting a thousand bullets in your chest?

No.

Hell, you are probably using your melee weapon against level 10 enemies.

Try it against level 50 enemies and you'll see what I mean.

Try it without an Ash or Valkitty!

Melee weapons don't do that much damage per second.

Let's look at the guns!

Soma:

Look at Sybari:.

NOW, look at a melee weapon.

Dual Zorren?

Dual Ichor?

But, wait! Not all melee weapons are that quick!

Look at Skana, Mire, and other weapons with the same fire rate as Skana.

Swing. Swing. Swing. Swing. Swing. Swing. Swing. Swing. Swing. Swing. Swing. Swing.

Not that quick.

Has limited range.

Outclassed by Soma and Sybaris + Many other guns in fire rate.

Guns can use headshots, so they do twice the damage.

Think about the crit headshots.

What can melee weapons do?

They can headshot, but very rarely.

How often can guns headshot, though?

Every time if you're accuarate enough.

"Hurr durr, weapons can life steal!"

Well, there's an augment for the Furis that makes it steal life.

Plus, what the Hell are you going to do when you run out of energy to channel because Life Strike decreased your efficiency so you run out of energy even quicker?

Here's the final thing I have to say: If Rifles, Shotguns, and Pistols get 10 rank mods, why shouldn't melee weapons get it, too? #SHREKT

Yeah, your turn to argue.
