For crying out loud. Disable ladders in battle mode.

It's called Battle mode, not ladderclimb/roofhug mode.

To counter the typical "but ranged is weak and needs that cover" argument, take a good Archer. He (or she) can clean your clock without that silly playstyle you think your "class" needs to be competent.

It's fine in strat, fine in siege.

But not in the typical Battle map. It just messes up everything even more.

Think about it please.

For those who think that ladder use of this is a must to stay competent:

In short: If you need to hide your ass up there 24/7, then quit ranged. People do fine without it anyways.

IMO, this has been long overdue.

I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.

Play some EU, then.

Maybe it isn't like that on NA. I don't know.

I blame a particular few of the maps.

It's fucking annoying and can ruin whole rounds/maps and that's all you need to know, ToD.

Me too.

Almost all villages can become Bullet_Hell thanks to that.
Especially when somehow a lot of ranged, way more ends up in a team. Ooohooh

Ladders add possibilities to maps and help keep them interesting. But seeing as it's mostly the same boring maps played over and over and over might as well make them even more tiresome by removing the other dimension ladders add. Sure get rid of them.  I don't care.

We would not have this problem if everyone just brought a shield and a crossbow...

Nice. Forcing stuff like that on players to deal with it.  :mrgreen:
*obvioussarcasmisobvious*

I dislike how people spew out this "omg it's tactical and blah blah blah" talk. It isn't tactical at all.

Only use of it is quickly capturing a Rooftop with like 10 ranged, then destroying it. Trying to climb up there is suicide.

Other dimension.. You're right, a dimension of suckage.

You should be glad that the devs didn't implement something like this.

Well I would point out that if you have any competent throwers, archers and crossbowmen on your team they should be able to deal with roof archers. But whatever. Expect a lot of archers up on hills after ladders are removed which I'm sure will be yet another source of complaint by many.
