You made the assertion that the game is figured out and by association nobody will ever develop another build basically until LotV. I find that an absurd statement to make, it reminds me of that famous misquote "everything that can be invented has been invented". In short there is nothing there I need to argue against, I can simply wait a couple of months for the tournament scene to prove you wrong.
Really not sure how helpful basically duplicating abilities would be to be honest. I think I personally prefer the aforementioned thing about using the idea behind lockdown somehow if it has to be like that.

This isn't real life, where science and technology have almost infinite room to grow in all directions. This is a game with fixed rules, it has a framework and everything in it has to fall withing that framework. Theoretically there are a couple of thousand builds and unit combinations, in practice only a couple of dozen unit combinations and only a couple of tens of builds are viable because of the rules of the game.
That is just how it is. Out of all the combinations out there, pro gamers, trough their hard work, dedication and communication have found the most viable builds and unit combinations. They will continue this process until new viable ways to play are found, but they CAN'T innovate if there is no room to innovate, and this is the situation in which we are now.
You can think its as absurd as you like, however choosing to not believe it, doesn't make it any less real, logical or true.
