If the assi is down im happy and leave  I dont remember that good but i think the costs are the same right (including drone for Z) ? Why change it though? P needs always gas as said and we cant heal or repair. | ||

So much so that you've failed to provide any acceptable reason as to why you think that, nor have you managed to convince anyone in this thread of your opinion. | ||

50 minerals steals all your opponent's gas. Can you imagine how effective that would be if they each had 900 hp? | ||

Protoss really rely on 2 gas for almost all of their viable builds. Terran and Zerg getting gas stolen isn't really a huge problem for most builds as the gas heavy units don't really arrive until tier 2. Protoss have sentries almost immediately which are 100 gas. maybe but Zerg needs to spend gas to unlock T2 (Lair) while Toss can spend 150 minerals to unlock their T2 tech buildings like robo or stargate. Plus lings need their speed upgrade more than any other unit T1 needs their upgrades to be effective in aggression | ||

Hatchery being only 300 minerals has a valid reason, since it's the zerg's only production building and they must simply build more of those than nexii/ccs. There simply isn't a good reason for having assimilators have so much more health than other gas facilities. I fail to see how gas stealing is a factor, since all races can gas steal. Its because Protoss does not have a single way to spam minerals other than zealots and cannons. Even a heavy Stalker army with a sentry or two won't leave you the gas to tech. | ||

Also, as for Assimilators having more HP, in SC1 shields took full (extra) damage from all attacks, and so the Assimilator's effective HP was about the same as the Refinery or Extractor. In SC2, shields do not behave like this, and I don't really see why the Assimilator should have so much more (or more at all) HP than a Refinery/Extractor. All 3 cost the same to build, and arguably Protoss shield's out-of-battle regeneration is superior to Zerg's slow biological regeneration or Terran's paid repairs. I think the real issue is how do we get the point across to Blizzard. | ||

In BW shields took full damage from any attack, no matter the damage type. In SC2 that damage/armor mechanic doesn't exist in the same way. I don't believe a marauder will do 20 damage to a zealot's shields, only a stalker's | ||

I do agree with the OP; it is a little odd that Assimilator HP was not lowered. I believe Refinery and Extractor HP were lowered for the same reason the build cost was lowered - each SC2 Refinery/Extractor is essentially half of a SC1 Refinery. Also, as for Assimilators having more HP, in SC1 shields took full (extra) damage from all attacks, and so the Assimilator's effective HP was about the same as the Refinery or Extractor.

I think the real issue is how do we get the point across to Blizzard. This. People shouting about 'racial differences' and 'Toss needs gas' have no argument of why an Assimilator has nearly DOUBLE the hp of the other buildings. More HP, sure. Double HP, no. BTW, Im a plat toss player before you shout noob zerg. | ||
