In this altered melee scenario, there are teams of 2 players, and each teamplayer has some units they can't train and teammates complement each other. Communication is key to victory.

I've came up with this different gameplay mode a while ago. The general idea is to divide the number of available units between teamplayers and distribute the load of micro. Carry players typically have access to the main force while the support players have the more micro intensive and supporting units. But they can only make a whole by combining their available units, so communication between the players is important. The bases are similar to archon maps of SC2, and the map is accomodated with extra resources accordingly.

Also, carry and support players can mix and match their races to create more fun and variable meta.
