Yep. If you fought someone like me with a more reserved wearing down play-style your characters would be lucky to reach five feet from my own if they disregarded range defence completely. There's a reason why projectiles rule battles. 

Hell, you'd come unstuck the moment you ran into someone slightly faster than your character with a bag of rocks.
