The point, and the problem, is that zerglings pretty much become obsolete by end game.
Part of SC's accomplishments was keeping most t1 units useful all game long.

Hopefully they get tweaked in some way shape or form.

Well it does if they are killed twice as quickly because of splash. And if they can't even get close thanks to force field...

It's 33.(3)% attack speed increase in SC1(25% cooldown, but the number of attacks in the same time period increase by 33.(3)%) and just 18.57% in SC2(if the values given are correct).

That's right. Personally, though, I always found Adrenal to be an extremely overpowered upgrade. The difference in ling damage output is extremely noticeable and completely transforms lings from being annoying and elusive pests to miniature killing machines, all from one upgrade that doesn't even take much time to research. I think it needed a nerf, and is probably going to be in a better position overall in SC2, particularly in light of what Klockan said regarding the improved pathing.

Why do people assume this is something that needs fixing? With auto surround+mass unit selection. If lings attacked the same as in SC1 they may just beat everything on the ground. If Adrenal not worth the 200/200 investment early anymore thats fine. Just get your plus 3 attack ups, and then Adrenal last. Just because your not geting the upgrades in the same order as BW does not mean its wrong lol.

As some people already pointed out, being able to fit more Zerglings into a small space ALSO means they get owned harder by all types of splash damage. Not that awesome if you actually think about it past the OMG IMBA LINGS OMG knee jerk stuff being thrown around here.

Zerglings are already more obsolete now than ever. A lot of things in SC2 have way more armor than they did in the first game. Terran buildings have an armour upgrade of what, plus 2? Immortals and collosus get +2 per armour/shield upgrade if I'm not mistaken. Some units like roach start with 2 armour. It used to be that lings with crack could be relied upon to kill most things, but now that's no longer the case. They need adrenal more than ever to remain viable late game.

This is so wrong. Discounting mirrors (don't watch them much), most zerg players are making zerglings all throughout every match. Lots more than roaches.

I completely agree that Adrenal is garbage currently. Not only does it cost 200/200, but it also requires Hive tech (so it's not fair comparing it to a level 2 weapons upgrade)! It was the upgrade that made zerglings viable at hive tech in BW, it should at least somewhat retain that essence in SC2.
