of course banelings make sense for zerg.. wtf.. units have no free will and do whatever they are told - there's no situation where a suiciding unit makes more sense. and they don't make you lose map control, because the very nature of zerg in sc2 is that a complete trade of forces means zerg came out ahead, as they are expected to have higher income and much greater production potential. in addition, you don't always lose every baneling, and often the banelings will be lost but the rest of your force will be nearly intact..

if you don't like the unit, fine, that's entirely up to you.. but your reasoning isn't reasonable.

I've noticed the trend for mass marine pushes as well. My biggest issue isn't that banelings are suicide units, it's that I don't have enough production to replace my army. You can hardly blame banelings for this; it's my fault for not throwing up a decent amount of hatches and/or missing injects.

When used correctly banelings have incredbile cost-effectiveness. I like throwing them into major ground battles in zvz especially because of the mind game they play on my opponent (blings COULD do a ton of damage, so I have to retreat into bad positioning!)

Never watched BW long enough to understand that the role of a scourge is dramatically different from that of a baneling?

No, aren't they exactly the same?

Of course not? The only similarity they have is in that they both suicide when they attack. That's the only similarity that they share.

Did you stop reading where you stopped quoting? Read the entire thing and I hope you can figure out what I meant.

While we're on the topic read the entire thing and then hopefully figure out what I meant.
