If this remains, imagine how nasty that would be when we reach Baldur's Gate and we are likely to run into ENEMY rogue archers. Not exactly a concept that would be very creative.
It's one of the reasons I've been against it (future encounters in abstract). We got a preview of what that would be like with the 2nd gnoll fight in patch 3 (when advantage was much easier to get).
I've used Astarion in the Shattered Sanctum battles with him firing arrows with impunity from the rafters. Made all of it a complete joke.

Height advantage/disadvantage has to go. Without a doubt.
