That's why it's an AoE cone instead of a melee spell.You have some simple spells that you like but because apparently casting burning hands in melee is equivalent to jumping up and down and screaming like a fool, you just can't do it.
Stop being in melee. And If you're a wizard player who doesn't like dudes running into melee to mess you up, stop advocating to keep martials from having options like being sticky.
Or stop playing wizards so we can drop this albatross from around our necks and have a better game overall once all design no longer must go through the wizards first.
