I don't think we should worry too much until we see how games play out pro vs pro with the new hellbat upgrade

They should make the Hellbat upgrade cost 50/50. Then make hellbats cost 100/25. Then hellions will have to pay 25 gas to make their first transformation to Hellbathood, after that they can transform freely. Also, might make sense for the first transformation to last a bit longer so players have time to cancel it if hit it by accident and so don't waste a ton of gas.

Theres just too much balance whining about the hellbat, yes its cost effective against light melee units. 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.

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.

Which can transform in a mobile unit, is more supply efficient(hardcounters something), doesn't cost gas and can be healed and speed boosted by a medivac. It's much too versatile for being that strong.

That's the problem of 3 CC openings, a strategic problem, not of strategic potential/usage. Roaches are more supply ineffiecient(hard counter nothing/not as much hellbats, like hellbats zerglings) and cost gas.
