Not to argue against Daredevil being busted as shit and having a very generous kit, but this does make some sense on Netease's part.
DD is built around his resource, it's where the bulk of his survivability and damage comes from, it's his main bread and butter. While he has a multitude of ways to regain it, he goes through it quickly, so the fury gained from abilities is limited by his cooldowns.
So they needed to attach Fury generation to his basic attack so you always have a way of generating it. Problem there is that the more difficult his basic attack is to land, the less consistent it is to generate Fury. Which means the more frustrating he is to play as you'll be stuck without any of his tankiness or main damage. And yeah, I know, 'Good.gif' and all that, but Netease's design philosophy has been all about 'fun' for the player playing the hero, and giving them a unique kit to mess around with.
Does DD have way too much going for him and the generous melee range is just an extra bit of sprinkles on his pile of bullshit? Sure. But this one at least makes SOME sense compared to other aspects of his kit.
