Basically this^.

Could have started with the mods, and generally balanced them to compensate that you have to be standing right in the middle of the fray taking hits from every direction to utilize melee at all. Instead, all they did was take the unfired clay of melee and put a wax coating on it to look shiny instead of molding it into something greater.
