I would advise against sending your zerglings in to deal with them, just as you probably shouldnt get your marines nice and close to deal with all those banelings on the field. Scout & counter people, come on! I guess the difference is marines can still kill banelings and be cost effective with micro. Zerglings on the other hand are never going to be cost effective against Hellbats because to attack them they have to enter the Hellbat's attack range, unlike marines and banelings. | ||

Zealots aren't going to beat banelings. Hellions aren't going to kill ultras. Broodlords aren't going to kill vikings. Believe it or not, there are simply units that happen to be near useless or unable to attack other units. I would even say zerglings against hellbats aren't as bad as these if engaged in the open. That is how the game works. | ||

What about roaches vs hellions? How many pro terrans have lost to 7-10 roach pushes after going hellions? They could have bunkers up and behind depots and they still lose. Some units just get hard countered. Towards the end of WoL, you could see that well micro lings (with some banes to force bio splits) could trade efficiently vs ALL ground terran units. Tanks, which were suppose to be their counters, got 1 shot off before they were surrounded. | ||

That is how the game works. It takes 4 banelings to kill a zealot, costing 4x25/50 or 100/200, so if you micro enough to let less than 3 zealots get hit by each baneling, it's cost effective. | ||

Roaches are more supply ineffiecient(hard counter nothing/not as much hellbats, like hellbats zerglings) and cost gas. | ||
