It is interesting that you put it this way. Uncharged melees are 3HK, with a charged melee it is a 2HK. Albeit, the only character who that is practical on is a Gambler's Dodge Poledancer. Every other class is lucky to get to use three melee charges a game, and half the time you'll just get burnt by an SMG or combined fire anyway.

Since I usually run hunter, I try not to get so close enough to make melee an option, only in a close quarter panic do I start punching wildly. Most of the time the first melee is preceded by a few bullets, then two quick melees. Sometimes I win, sometimes I don't. This is the same in D1 and D2. I do use the throwing knife often. It's a viable option in D1. D2 not so much, the damage it causes is not equal to the time it takes to get back into bullets.

At best it's a last ditch effort if you know you're losing the fight or run out of ammo.
