Yeah, cause opinion of NA players is super important
Anyways, there is reason why deployable ladders are better than ladders which stay on the ground and can be "activated".
Map ladders give advantage to archers cause they always stay on the same place and it takes time to get them up. While doing that, you're unable to react for 5 seconds which means archers can change their position for better shooting angle. And if there are melee players guarding them, it's easy for both archers and their defenders to hold the attackers cause they usually attack from one side.
With player placed ladders it would be like siege, ladders everywhere. In few seconds any house or roof will be surrounded by player placed ladders and archers would be forced either to jump down or die.
But someone in the dev team has these crazy ideas how realism is a good thing so ladders will probably stay super heavy. Just like what they did with pikes, making them unsheatable. If pikes were still sheatable cavalry wouldn't be a problem at all.
Slots are somewhat good idea because it serves a balancing purpose.
(Un)sheatable weapons is crazy realism based idea and I hate the one who made that change.
