Honestly despite it being an unintended bug, ladder shooting (looking up or down a ladder and shooting at anything you can see) kinda does solve the problem of people ladder camping. If you restrict the range you’re able to hit targets to be within 1 or 2 tiles of the ladder (it would be awkard to angle a gun in that position to hit anything that wasn’t really close) then you could just walk away from the ladder to prevent it from becoming oppressive

It doesn’t solve ladder camping, but would just add more to it to one side. Oh, marines are holding engie? Time for john HPR to make sure nobody can go up or down that one ladder, or even close to it. Like, it genuinly just encurages ladder camping even more then they currently do.

One side is 99% ranged and the other side is (being generous) 30% ranged
Multi-z is already a big enough boon for the ranged faction
(in b4 “but you can just flank! Multi-z actually better for xenos!!”)
E: FWIW I can definitely see the argument for HvH though
That’s a round about way of saying it lets you shoot xenos while they try to look up to shoot you back so you can farm free damage/kills, really just sounds like skewing the range advantage even more to the ranged faction
