So, haven't you guys noticed how imba Assimilator is, it has 450+450 hp while terran refinery only has 450.

So its like 450 hp more! Its really furstrating to destroy gasier when protoss player steals one. Need to be nerfed to 225+225!

Gas steal is incredibly annoying because of it's hp, but imba certainly isn't the word for it.

Imba is the perfect word for it, same basicly its the "basic building" which is same to all and they should share the same amount of hp.

Yeah I also find it odd that the assimilator has 450/450 HP while the refinery and extractor both have 500.

Aside from gas steals, the only place I've seen it make any difference is with nukes (nukes kill extractors and refineries in 1 hit but assimilators survive).

Terran is already so OP why do toss players have to suffer more? seriously you guys get the stims faster and the concussive shells faster too. Terran upgrades are super cheap in comparison to protoss. really one assimilator sitting on one of your gas geysers isn't really holding you back that much.

maybe when stimpack + marine health go back to 150/150.. and concussive goes back to 100/100, actually that should be 150/150 too.

I agree the assimilator could use a nerf, increase the mineral cost or cut the health. Either way is fine.

gas steal isn't really even gas steal cause there's two geysers now
the only thing it would do is provide vision for a bit

you guys are idiots. why would blizzard nerf assimilators? they intended for it to have so much hp. the protoss race was built for gas stealing. that's what blizzard had in mind all along. sheesh. get used to it.

Maybe we should cut the health regen, burrowed movement and hp of assimilators and make them cost 2 supply instead of none...

I know the first thing I think when playing terran is that I need to rush ghosts to take care of those crazy overpowered assimlators! >.>
I did notice this really early on an always wondered why it was that way an I guess that means it would take nearly twice as long to kill but not really something to call overpowered.

This thread is great. I've lol'd too many times from each point so far. Protoss fearing nurfs, Zerg beingsarcastic about previous nurfs, people who think. The whole thread is ridiculous, people who do see and agree with the OPs point... half the posts are lol worthy!

Well actually it is a valid point, it is very annoying when a Protoss gas steals us as Terran and it takes us a hell of a long time to kill that gas.

Or when you are trying to siege the gas on say LT or Desert Oasis. It must take so long when the opponent is toss.

The same applies to air snipes I guess (more a Zerg problem).
