Thoughts on Phase 3 of Breach? Possible Counter?

The ballista hits for 60 every 3 seconds on a fairly tight targeting reticle that cannot hit the commander in his default position. It's not impressive damage and I'm unclear why everyone makes a big deal over it other than habit.

If the attackers never touch it and suicide run the commander with each person landing only 2 heavies before dying they would still probably kill him in under 5 minutes.

Right now the advantage is all attackers in phase 3 because there just aren't a lot of ways to significantly heal the Commander, and the game has no mechanism for forcing your target to target you so external blocking the defenders while unloading on the Commander is fairly viable.
