Whether melee is good against ranged or magic varies a lot. It depends both on the type of melee, the type of ranged, the type of magic, and some other things.

For example, a mighty glacier would take an eternity to reach someone firing at them from afar, and if they get close the ranger easily escapes. While a fragile speedster is fast enough to evade most shots and get close.

Similar with magic. Some use magic from afar, others go in close, depending on the spell one either has an easier time keeping their distance or going in close.

@Phantom: Like I pointed out above, melee isn't necesarily better against ranged. Hell, if you look at history, ranged weapons made armor useless once guns were invented and even before that most melee fighters tended to die quickly against archers.
