So even though it's a melee animation it registers as an ranged? | ||

So even though it is considered ranged it is no longer a projectile. Guardian Shield affects ranged attacks but not "splash" attacks so it should still work in this case. | ||

A stalkers attack will likely not be intercepted from Melee range either. Reason being, the projectile makes contact with the target before the PDD's projectile can intercept it. I have not tested this, but that would be my interpretation. Try putting a PDD right on top of the meleeing Hydralisk... maybe. I think this is a tiny balance issue at best. The fact is, you need very minor micro to avoid Hydralisks meleeing. | ||
