Ladder matches are definitely still to easy to lose, even when you have been dominating the actual match. If you are going to have some sort of progressive mechanism for removing the belt, then make it so that 1) we can actually tell when there's a chance to make it work, and 2) damage dependent so its harder for the opponent to win if I've been battering them for ten minutes. I actually almost prefer the old version, although the other new additions to the match this year are improvements.
