If your shieldwall is capable of stopping 3000 highly trained warriors from aiming weapons designed to lunch through armour of all types then that is OP. I'm sorry. I'm even allowing 15-20 seconds between volleys when a typical English longbowman could hurl arrows down range at a rate of 1 every few seconds. Therefore, added time=more aim=Orcs dying regardless of shieldwall. Accept it. It's logical. Morgoths Orcs weren't even that good, honestly. They were an experiment that Sauron and Saruman perfected. So, really, they aren't even as good as Third Age Orcs. So of course a bunch of guys with very powerful bows designed to pierce armour are going to kill a lot of them at range.
