You made my argument slightly stronger.

If you look at your argument, you and maybe others don't even use dispel magic in a 1v1 - so this type of change wouldn't even effect your mage/shaman except when they are trying to gank someone down - which imho is a good change for the better. And thinking about it you are probably right because the fights as a mage where im dispelled are usually group fights and in THAT case im usually dead if the person is with a basher and all my protections I spent between two-three minutes in RL putting up get taken down in less than five seconds while im being bashed/cranialed/etc. to death.

This would make it better for mages being ganked not to be instantly put at a severe disadvantage and according to you would have little effect on 1v1.


EDITED TO ADD:

Perhaps another proposal could be making it much harder to dispel a mage who is already fighting someone.
