so i just had a guy go up the ladder and kept sliding down to hit every time i got near it and hopped back on which shoved me aside stopping my attack, that needs to be changed get rid of the ladder stun when hopping on so they can be prevented from getting on in the 1st place and even when i did hit hit it gave him invincibility frames and my attack bounced off the ladder

How about being able to kick down Ladders when standing at the top of one?

There is more than one ladder up to where they are, sure it might be a longer route but you might surprise him and shove him off his own ladder!
That is of course he's not running from one ladder to the other and repeating the same maneuver. I do recall some characters having long range attacks once you unlocked them so maybe they could help as well?

wouldn't work in this case he climbs just high enough to so if you try to get on from above he just punches you off, but the real issue was the immune frames he got when hopping on as well as it pushing me back if i was to close

Fair enough, sounds like the guy is just being a baiter. On the plus side if it's domination and he's holding say point C then just let him stay there, he's not going to be helping anyone and no-one will bother with trying to cap that point.

Well just go another way up? There is not a single place where you have to go up ladders there is always a normal way up somewhere.

well he was the last one alive and we had only just got them into breaking so it would have taken a bit but yeah waiting it out would have worked fine

wouldn't work he was just high enough to knock you off as soon as you jump on and i was the only one trying to get him so he would have ran off as soon as i left

Ladders should be hittable. Hitting them knocks everyone on the ladder off but does less damage than sliding down into them to knock them off or punching them off.

Alternatively; hitting the ladder makes them slip and hang by one hand for a second, they cannot perform any action during this. Another heavy attack (or maybe several more) eventually knocks them off. The idea being to prevent someone from casually tapping the ladder as he passes by and moving on, make him commit to hitting the ladder for a little while, give opponents a chance to save their ally by stopping him.

Actually, a player standing on a capture point earns 2 points per second for their team. So standing on a base is helping the team to win.
