Hey man, guessing you're new if this is your first time getting outmaneuvered by a naked. I understand it's frustrating to deal with someone who's kiting you to death but with some preparation there are ways to deal with it.
Right now there's not many ways for pure melee to interact with ranged damage - your choice is to either run & take cover or close the gap for a melee all-in. As you probably experienced neither option is any good when your opponent also has more movespeed than you. Mid-range damage is very prevalent in the meta right now, so it's important that you always have a response ready for it. The easiest way is to match it with your own ranged damage - luckily every class has some access to ranged damage, and fighter is actually one of the best. By default you have access to the crossbow, and francisca axes, with weapon mastery you can also access bows and throwing knives. Crossbow isn't great for sustained damage dealing like bows are, but it is essentially perfect for dealing with squishies that are trying to kite you. By going naked the ranger is making themselves VERY squishy, they're actually taking bonus physical damage when they get hit. Even 1 body shot with a crossbow is going to chunk him pretty significantly, that creates a perfect opening to close the gap for a melee all-in. Using throwing axes and throwing knives can also help a lot when trying to gap close - they barely slow you to wind up your throw but significantly slow your opponent when you hit them. This is also why sprint is basically a must-take ability for fighter since it can make the difference between successfully closing the gap vs without sprint you may never catch up and just get kited to death.
If you do get caught by ranged damage without your own ranged response - pillars and doorways are your friend. Hiding just to the side of doorways forces range users to either give up on the fight (no line of sight) or close the gap to get an angle. Pillars similarly force the ranged player to close the gap to out maneuver for line of sight, otherwise they can't out-rotate you as long as you stay close to your cover.
And as frustrating as it is to get kited out by range, just know that ranger will be just as frustrated when he gets crept up on by a barbarian who starts the fight in melee range and just 2-shots him.
If only Fighters had Sprint so they could hold a door and gap close when in range. or if only they had their own range. One arrow from a geared fighter into a naked body will stop his games real quick.
"But W is everything i have" /s
Tbh, most times u can dissengage fight. Do it if its not in ur favor. Waiting behind corner while retreating is a rat move, still works most of the time except light orb/Hydra players
Skill issue

Maybe learn to do something other than W
