I don't know much about PVP, but I find it useless in PVE too and maybe the mechanic problem is the same in both cases. I think it should be changed from a charging mechanic to an accuracy mechanic, as some have said already. The higher the marksmanship, the more accurate the shot, instant shot. The higher the target's dexterity*agility or something like that, the higher the chances to miss. Also, the faster you walk while shooting down, the higher the chances to miss (so the melee enemy would stand a chance).
Maybe new mechanics just for ranger's bow.
I'm just a hermit but I always prefer archers and mages over melee and yet I fight melee because archery is unpracticable
