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

that looks like it is more balanced now. i dunno, when savior was playing with them, even a group of them could not take out a group of marines.

They will most likely alter all of the stats before the final release so I would not be if this unit is changed at least once before release.
