Time for a new discussion topic! This edition is about the Baneling:

Karune wrote: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

These are this month's questions. Answer with a reply to this post, and please make a header for each question.
* 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?

sc2pod specific question
* A suicide unit that deals aoe damage is hardly a groundbreaking feature in RTS games. Do you have any suggestion that would make the Baneling more unique?

Wings upgrade for Baneling. So it can replace Zerg Scourge. Flying fat Banelings would be fun :D
