I have yet to meet a dropship pilot that is unstoppable. The best pilots can be near unstoppable when 1) there is no actual counter being used against them in the match and/or 2) their team is just totally dominating the match. Even then a single Forge, Rail, Swarm, Mass Driver, Flaylock or PLC hit can totally turn the tide and make that dropship pilot crash into a building.
And I hate to bring isk into this argument but just losing that dropship once makes you go negative ISK for that match most likely. It's their preferred role but for some reason it's not something that can be sustained unless you are really good and lucky at what you do.
And just because ADS has one turret that is effective against infantry as a nose turret, you want to nerf it by 90%? Missile turret is next to useless in aerial combats when used as a nose turret and rail turret is almost useless against infantry when used as a front turret, now I know that they can both be used for these things but they are not particularly effective at doing these things. Missiles kill ground targets with ease and rails kill other dropships and vehicles with ease, although I cannot even hit the broadside of a barn with small rails as nose turret, lol, I totally suck with them.
And now, what does the third turret do? The blaster? Does it work as a side turret? No. Does it work as a front turret? No. Can it kill vehicles? No. Can it kill infantry? No.
So out of the 3 turrets we have one for AV and one for air-ground. Those who are using missile turrets are very weak against other ADS pilots with rails. So they are good at killing infantry in 1-6 hits? Infatry is good at killing dropships in the same number of hits but the difference is that you don't have to be careful about hitting structures and you can hide indoors from us and still participate in the battle, we can hide high in the sky and not be useful at all to anyone. Also it's quite easy to avoid getting hit by an ADS if you know it's there but when 50% of the people just decide to stand still when an ADS starts bombarding them, I don't know who is more guilty, that guy asking to die or that ADS pilot killing the guy asking to die.
TL;DR
No such thing as unstoppable ADS pilot, everything has a counter to it, use it.
