Hello everyone in last time i noticed it is hard to counter MMM and Hellions with Zerg. I tried to counter it with baneling muta ling but i had no chance. The same with baneling Roach and i lost nearly everytime to a good Terran using this build. So im wondering whether is is inbalanced? Please help

make sure you dont attackmove your blings, they will all be wasted on the hellions and marauders
They cant beat you, They only hope you beat yourself.

Hey, just gonna quote the Strategy Forum Guidlines because with this OP this thread is most likely to get closed.

[H] Help threads.

Post a replay, give your own analysis, get help!

The classic “Why did I lose this game?”. For these threads it is absolutely required that you post a replay. No exceptions. Nobody is going to be able to help you if you won’t post a replay.

Additionally, first put some thought into what happened in the game, and include your own analysis into the thread. It might be wrong, but try your best. It doesn’t have to be long, a few point form lines is enough to give people a starting point to give you advice. Your thread won’t last if you won’t put any effort in it.

If you have specific questions, ask them along with your analysis. It’s always easier to reply if we know what exactly you need help with.

[Q] Question threads

Ask for help with or against a specific strategy

In a [Q] thread you may ask about a specific, situational strategy, whether that is executing it yourself of playing against it. It is very important that you keep these threads specific. A general "How to FE against Zerg?" is not acceptable. This is the most important distinction from the [H] threads.

Post some analysis of the problem, and what you have tried so far. This not only avoids redundant advice but also shows people you have put some effort into this yourself.

As with the [H] threads, it makes it a lot easier to help you if you ask a couple of specific questions regarding the strategy you are unsure about.


Include Replays. Also there is no BO provided by you since "MMM and Hellions" is a unit composition.

So you posted this to get people's opinions on if the build is overpowered or not?
I underestimated that boy. No... it was not the boy I underestimated, it was the Triforce of Courage.

Its definitely not imbalanced. If I counter this mix of units I'd handle it with mass banelings and preferably try baneling clamping.

infestor banelings will mop this up.. make sure you hit fungal growths on his army so they can't run, then just move, not attack, the banelings right into their face before you tell them to attack

Not to be a dick, but this has been covered alot.

What i see alotta people do is Bling/Muta/Infestor usually. Fungal bio, send in the banelings to MARINES.
Lol Rly?
