Shadows CANT win: Dropship changes needed

I get that the idea is the legends are supposed to escape. I also get that some of the abilities give you advantage over the shadows. But please make it harder for the legends to get in the dropship!...

@K0rh4k I'm in Los Angeles, on the Salt Lake server. With Shadow players quitting, more and more Legends are winning. I'll see the start of a match with around 35 players and by the time the Evac Ship is getting ready to split we're down to about 21. SO it's tilting now in favor of Legends, I'd guess.

Not to mention that downed players can get in the Evac Ship.

I am getting matches with 10 legends, and 7 shadows. When the game mode released it was enjoyable because it was being played how it was intended to be played (I hope.)

Now, Pathfinders are teaming up early game making insane layers of ziplines and just zipping back and forth shooting shadows as they come.

I played 2 frustrating games today, different scenarios in each one.

First one, there were 5 pathfinders at mid-game (roughly 18 players left) who teamed up at water treatment creating a lot of ziplines from the roofs of the buildings to the silo looking towers.

The issue was is that you can't climb the silos as a shadow, so you HAD to go on the ziplines. The pathfinders would just shoot whatever shadow decided to take the zipline. There's no way to fix this, so it's just an absolute rip for the shadow team any day. ehem, open landing areas for Evac Ship.

The Second annoying game, 7 shadows vs. 10 legends. Someone is going to have to tell me how lucky they would have to have been to win a game like that as a shadow. Well, anyways we didn't win as shadows. Instead, we killed 1 legend, and the rest of the 9 escaped without even getting touched.

And just apply again, the most common and annoying games, are the ones where Wraiths, Pathfinders, Octanes, and basically any mobility-related Legend use's their ultimate to clap the Evac Ship.

(Also Pathfinders able to place ziplines on Evac Ship, excuse me?)

If I have to suggest anything. It's going to be: 1. Evac ship lands in open areas ONLY. 2. Deactivate ultimates/tactical near the Evac ship (Maybe 10-20 meters away from it). 3. Don't let downed Legends get in the Evac ship unless there is another legend already inside it.
