Or make ladders unbreakable in battle.

I'd say remove them.

There are archers that will own you and I've never seen them on a roof. Just stroll onto pecores for a couple of hours and test yourself against blackbow and bambi. When those two are on together...wow I'm shot off my horse in seconds.

Archers have little reason to be on roofs. It won't make them more killable by cav because most roofs are in village areas and village areas are often suicide for cav until most of the enemy team is dead. By which time an archer is probably screwed anyway. Yes it gives them a better view to shoot from. But I hate camping on high points as a foot archer. I only do it if my team collapses and going on the ground would be suicide and there's a convenient ladder near by. But I would have no issue in not being able to do it.

I honestly rarely go on roofs when I am an archer, and when I do it is usually because the map is terrible and my team brought only two pikes and all the cav were stacked on the other team and everyone is splitting up.

I noticed that I have an easier time shooting other archers when they are on the roofs as compared to the ground. Last night, almost everytime I shot and killed an archer it was because they were in a cramped spot which made their weaving predictable (a narrow street or on top of a roof). I also notice that more often then not, roof camping gets me shot faster then staying on the ground. The main advantage in my eyes when I roof camp (besides the 96% immunity to cav, ignoring those that somehow fly their cav into the sky which always makes me chuckle) is that I don't have wanna-be bodyguard teammates weaving in front of me to tk...

I would not mind too much if the devs disabled ladders on battle for a couple of weeks just to test things out. It need not be permanent, just a small test, then put the ladders back in while they contemplate how it has changed things. While I am not totally comfortable with removing ladders, it does sound intriguing. Of course, you could argue that I am biased since I rarely roof camp and spend most of my time on the ground...
