This idea mostly came from people who attack for 1 on turn 3 and I have a base at 4 HP the rest of the game. Sure my opponent is down a unit and 2-3 wits, but that's not a enough of a disadvantage IMO considering now I can be finished off by 2 soldiers.

Also I think in 90% of games it wouldn't come into play at all

That's absolutely enough. Two soldiers hitting your base means that your opponent destroyed your army. You can't have two soldiers sneaking through your base and hitting it without you being able to do anything. As for runner rush, it doesn't exist anymore because it can't work. And having a BS close to your opponent's base means you already won.

You gain a real advantage when your opponent hits your base. And putting your opponent's base's health to 4 is useless, for the reasons I said above!

So yeah, this change can't work, it would make it unbalanced.
