Suggestion Title: Modify the Office vents layout
Suggestion Description: My suggestion would be to change the ladders entirely to something like the foundry's spiral ladder (maintaining the realism aspect of the vents) while making it more balanced for both pushing and holding these angles as the ladders are both pretty restrictive and borderline unrealistic to shoot from in a normal PVP situation.

Why should this be added?:
- Balancing

What negatives could this have?:
- Dev Time
- Nerfing Defense

What problem would this suggestion solve?: The idea behind this is to nerf the plethora of holding positions within the vents which ultimately make it impossible to make it up the ladders without getting our heads blown off, provided that the person holding this angle has 2 or more IQ and a PC that runs at more than 10fps ( @Locksmith ).

Useful Images:
 
The ladders are far too op to hold, you have almost no movement options when going up them so you're just easy pickings to any defender. With defending being easy enough as it is this is just an unnecessary buff to defenders, defending should not just be holding an angle.
 
Another solution would be to make the floor of the barriers by the ladder perforated so they can be seen through, making them a far less desirable position to camp in.

This might come with its own set of issues however.
 
A spiral ladder inside a ventilation/utility shaft seems a bit unrealistic however I do agree with @Bnjemann making the floor see-through so it's like a "cat-walk" type of platform doesn't seem like a bad idea.

Imo it's a win win from both parties as both defenders and raiders can see each other.

Just throwing my two cents out there.

Just use nades or smth like that. Ofc in not gonna be easy to raid in a ventilation shaft? If you need more space just raid main door.

You can't be throwing nades up to something you don't know if there are people or if they're even armed, specially as crim as it quite literally breaks 2.5
