I think they should fix the ladders climbing cost first.
I believe they should fix ability to climb the ladders first.

Yeah... climbing ladders is borked in patch 5. I just bumped this old thread because the limiting range puts the emphasis on Melee, Melee, Melee, which totally nerfs range builds. This affects stealth ranged "sneak attacks" from rogue classes as well, as they cannot get "advantage" outside of these short range parameters.
