In wars, range is more important then melee cause people who tank pray melee so your ko power comes from range. There range > melee in wars. Looking at the combat triange, melee > range and that works out to be true 9/10 in 1vs1 combat. In a war of Range vs Melee, it really depends because melee has the advantage of having stronger armor as well as rangers being forced to not use shield when piling, open for snipers. Depending on the map. Range would win in classic, melee in turrets. Range in plateau if anyone one is stupid enough to war there.
