This is just an opinion of mine, but with the new heroes/mist warriors and their new skills, why not go the extra step and make it so that you can select which “Lane” to position them in??
What I mean by this is that you can make the heroes have 2 sets of skills depending if they are set on attack or defense?
For the Defensive heroes they can be made to defend the gates and advance no further (can even make the heroes disappear if the gate reaches 0%, adds an element of timing and tactics to the play?) – So essentially have the defensive hero go to 3 locations (Gate 1 and 2, and lastly defend the Lord. This way you could use the hero to help you make a last stand at your Lord and if lucky even make a comeback.
As of right now I remember the Beta strongsholds mostly just Rush the door – rush the lord, and considering the updates for PVP lately being primarily boost damage in everything and the T2K being so low in Gw2 in general (the time to kill is soooo fast – of course you can mitigate that if playing well but yea…)
I just think this will allow a losing team to be able to may be pull a comeback if there were some mechanics in place to support some defensive play like in Hots(heroes of the storm) as well as adding more depth and play into the stronghold mode.
