Why does Protoss upgrade armor before weapons in PvT?

Because the rate of fire of marines make it very valuable (the more hit per second the more armor is valuable), and early pushed are usually very marine heavy.

More specifically, Marines and marauders have low base attack vs zealots, making armor + guardian shield exceptionally powerful when Zealots survive much longer. Whereas with weapons, most Protoss units still have to attack the same amount of times before a unit is dead.

ex: A zealot kills a marine (with CS upgraded) in four swipes. When upgraded to +1 attack, it still takes four swipes to kill a marine.

A marine kills a zealot in 29 shots. With +1 armor though, that number goes up to 34 shots. With guardian shield the armor scales an even larger amount. It's a huge difference.

It represents the amount of games you've played in this category relatively to others (I.E if you played 50 1V1, 50 2V2 and 0 3/4V4, the 2 bars will be on half the length, if you played 70 1V1 and 30 2V2 the bar will be a 70% for 1V1.. etc).
And yeah rd explained the armor thing way more thoroughly and better than me

Hi im a Protoss and trying to learn the new warp in trick to spam lots and lots of zealots lategame. I have changed the warp in hotkey aswell as the "Choose Ability or A.I. Target" to the same key (Caps lock) , but whenever i try to select Gateways, hold caps and hotkey for the zealot, it doesnt work, i have to manually hit caps lock and E at the exact same time (hotkeys for choose ability and Stalker) and thats really difficult.

is anyone experiencing the same Problems? The same issue occurs when i try it with a different key, e.g. § or something.

you should bind the "Choose Ability or A.I. Target" to the same hotkey as zealots. "Choose Ability or A.I. Target" is pretty much same thing as left click. this way you hit your warp gate hotkey then just hold down your zealot key to spam zealots. if you wanna spam stalkers just hit warpgate hotkey than hit stalker hotkey once than hold shift and hold the zealot hotkey (keep shift down) to spam stalkers.

VR will not acquire new targets when they are on move command. However, if they already have a target, they will continue firing at the target while moving if it is within a certain range(which is actually longer than the stated range of the VR). This is kinda not popularly understood. Even day9 showed that he didn't know it In one of his recent monobattles. As an aside, this ability of the VR makes it terrible to try to run from VR once they have locked on as they can kill extra stuff when chasing .

too vague of a question. depends on your partner's race and your opponent's race. this is the most complete guide ever made, but was based on WoL, not HoTS:

I've recently watched a lot of TvP VODs, and the casters always talk about the importance of protoss cancelling the first zealot. What is this about? I'm assuming saving 100 minerals, but when and why does one decide to cancel the zealot, and what does it mean?

In PvT if you skip the first zealot you can get the nexus down slightly faster. Naturally Protoss will want to always skip the zealot, but if they did that and the Terran blocks the nexus with an eBay, it will take a long time to clear it without the zealot. So Protoss players started the zealot and canceled it to put down the faster nexus or if the Terran tried to block they would let it finish so it could destroy the ebay.
