No, that would basically ruin Protoss. Their attacks would either be weaker or units would have to wait longer before engaging, and their defence would have the same issues.

Something like that would need several changes to account for the differences.

The issue with talking with pro players when it comes to design and redesign is that many of them want so little changes as possible because more changes means a lot more time needed to be dedicated to figure stuff out.

However I think it is necessary to change how protoss works, how the economy pretty much caps out on 3 bases, and how units clump up, all need to be addressed if we want SC 2 to have the same longevity as BW.

I think they will try to make sizable change for LotV beta.
But chances are they will back-down from it within a month.

I always thought it would be kinda cool to have a unit/units that only can be produced in gateways.

Not unless we pressure Blizzard for them. They are so afraid to destroy the balance that they have accomplished. If we don't ask for major changes we will just get another HotS type of expansion. While that is nice it isn't what this game needs to become truly great.

To be honest, it would make it garbage because of how easy it would be to put low tech units in the way of it.

DK just balance what they give him. Changing forcefield isn't about balance but design. Anyway I would be for some organized pressure to change protoss in LotV. I don't care if aplha/beta will take year or more.

You/we don't, but the money guys at Blizz might.

Well still better than abducting nothing. Seeker missile is dodgeable which is cool, it creates 5 sec of tension because you don't know if the targetted unit will escape the missile range or not. I'm sure there is a way to make abduct more enjoyable and skillfull than what it is.

A proper cost:risk ratio for having map wide instant mobility wouldn't "break" Protoss. It would make the race substantially better by giving Gateways *AND* Warpgates usage, because they would both have strength and weaknesses.

However I think the best solution is to remove Warpgate entirely and re-do Protoss properly.

As I said, it would require multiple changes to gateway units to make it remotely workable. As much as people like to complain, the game is at a fairly good balance point. A drastic change like "Reinforcements lose 100 shields" or "Reinforcements must wait 30 seconds before they can attack at full health" is enough to completely break matchups.
