I think entirely too much emphasis is being put on how much of an advantage range is. As has been mentioned, most of the hardest hitting attacks are close; snipe is an exception, but this can be interrupted by damage or losing line of sight.

In addition, with travel powers the same across all archtypes (a blaster cannot outrun a tank, travel powers/slotting being equal), it is sometimes difficult to avoid melee range.

In a perfect world, where tanks engaged brutes and scrappers engaged stalkers and squishies engaged one another or provided additional firepower or support, PvP would be balanced for teams.

In my experiences, however, the melee characters tend to ignore the other melee toons and engage the squishies. Of course, this doesn't happen 100% of the time and there are melee toons who don't do this. But I rarely see melee toons engaged in one-on one combat in a team environment.

Why? The effort involved in a melee taking down another melee can be significant. It's usually easier to just take out the squishy and move on.

Had the same problem yesterday; went into edit mode, deleted an item and 5 doorways disappeared. Recreated the base and everything is working fine again.

The Order of the Illuminati is now recruiting active villains.
