It was just one example of Blizzard coddling the players, as opposed to forcing them to figure things out on their own.  It wasn't intended as a shot against any race (I play random).



6 pool, 3 rax, 4 gate, 1-1-1...these were builds that the community, at the time, was incredibly negative about, especially seeing them at the pro level.  The reason we don't see much 1 base play?  Because there is already this mental attitude against them from previous all-ins...and Blizzard decided to patch them essentially out of existence with widow mines and nexus cannons.

The protoss race just isn't good enough to take past the first 5 minutes so people just 1 base to get it over with.

The primary reason we don't see 1 base play is because Blizzard removed maps like Steppes of War. It's not some strange stigma against cheesing or 1 basing, they just don't work as well on much bigger maps. This happened in WoL too, with the exception being PvP.

Seeing the odd one base play here and there is actually good for the game imo, nexus cannon however made protoss essentially immune to a lot of 1-base attacks which is a questionable decision.
