melee problems

So I'm on my first new game plus play through, and I've been looking forward to trying the asari sword melee vanguard build, but after finally trying it out in combat im a bit disappointed. The over the shoulder camera is so close to Ryder that I can't see half of the screen, movement and especially turning to face enemies up close is really slow and clunky, and its really difficult hitting hovering targets like observers. The teleport on the asari sword is cool and all but actually makes it harder to hit enemies right in front of you, I often have to evade backwards before using melee to land a hit, and its problematic in cramped areas like buildings.

Any tips here? Maybe melee just isn't for me and I should try an adept build?
