Discussion of the Month: by Karune
Karune has posted up a new discussion topic on the Official SC2 forums. This month he is asking for feed back about the Baneling. The baneling was initially announced as a small fast explosive mutation of a zergling. Later after feeling the unit was overpowered, increased the units size and slowed it's movement speed to allow opponents to better counter the unit. Now Karune would like some feedback on these changes, specifically what kind of strategies and counters you can think of when using this unit.

Last month was all about the Zerg. For the first time members of the Community and the press had the privilege to test StarCraft II's third race. You could read a lot about the different units and buildings, see movies and screenshots, hear about the gameplay experiences. This month's discussion topic will be about one of the new Zerg units: The Baneling, the mutation of one of the most popular Zerg units, of the Zergling. The Baneling has undergone quite a few changes in the past couple of weeks and we'd like to hear your feedback!
Information on the new Baneling:
Now
* 190 damage per Baneling (40+150 to building)
* Increased splash range (100% damage taken throughout range)
* Can be well positioned to hit multiple buildings
* Larger & Movement Speed Slower (possible to defend with focus fire)
* Counters Zealots, Zerglings, base Marines (not upgraded) -More Narrow window of use
Before
* Fast and small- Unable to defend against (focus fire)
* Countered virtually all ground units
Questions for fans:
* How do you like the new Baneling?
* What possibilites do you see for using the Baneling, what strategies could be viable with the Baneling against the different races?
* What are the pros/cons for this new Baneling?
* Additional feedback you might have
Each StarCraft II fansite will be featuring different types of questions, so be sure to also visit those sites. All of this feedback will be compiled and sent to the dev team.
Please structure feedback as follows:
