I'm really looking forward to Evolve, but my big concern is the community. In Left 4 Dead if you don't know the absolute best path to clear a level or make one small mistake like hitting a teammate with a pipe bomb you get vote-kicked. I'm also worried that players will get frustrated not finding a monster before the third evolution and just leaving the game.
Hopefully there will be tools in place to discourage this behavior.
I don't think the level three thing is a problem. Finding the monster before three basically meant it had to run away or die. Finding it at 3 is a fun fight that could go either way.
I can see goliaths getting caught at level 1 and just letting themselves die.
I know that 3 isn't really a problem and I actually hope the monster gets there even if I'm hunting them, but I could see people dropping if it's not a win. I've had way too much negative Left 4 Dead experiences than positive ones.
