he point of VIP Escort is that the team trying to protect the VIP has to do just that: protect the VIP. If the VIP can just bounce around and spam, like anyone else, then it's basically just a faster version of Elimination Pro. The VIP should be slow, should be handicapped, that way her team has to actually go and rescue her, and protect her against the offensive team. When she was really fast the defensive team didn't even need to send help to the VIP, she could just get out on her own, and sprint up to the red room without the enemy team getting a shot at her.

VIP Escort is supposed to encourage teamwork, it's supposed to encourage the players to help each other, and play as a unit, not just a separate individuals who can't kill each other. The only way that the side protecting the VIP would lose every time is if there is no team work, and everyone is just out doing their own thing. I've played plenty of VIP Escort before the patch made the VIP super fast, and, with a good team, it was very balanced. Protecting the VIP is supposed to be somewhat harder, you have to do more than just blindly kill everyone who doesn't have a blue name tag.

As one forumer said, if you think the VIP being able to jump out through the window at the last few seconds before the extract point is available with five enemies camping the extract spot, and still win, is balance, then you need to update your definitions.
