Melee is a design philosophy, not a "class." If they can't, or refuse, to design encounters that don't incorporate melee without an inherent disadvantage, then they have failed, not only in encounter design, but design philosophy as well. What I mean is, you can't just make an encounter not-melee friendly, and call it a class problem. Melee is melee, that will never change, that is the only constant. The only option is to change what is possible, and that is the encounter designs. If they can't wrap their heads around that, they might as well remove melee from the game, and watch it crumble.
