While it is true that ranged champions have an easier time harassing, melee champions often have an edge built in to counter ranged champions. Melee champions are typically more durable and have around the same base AD as a ranged champion. Also, many have an inbuilt gap-closer they can use to get in melee range of the enemy ranged champions, and also some form of instant hard CC they can use to disable the enemy e.g Riven, Shen, etc, compared to Ezreal (who flat out lacks hard CC) and Caitlyn (whose traps have a "set up time"). I suppose it's up to personal preference, but never think that one attribute of a champions is better than another.
