Blizzard should introduce it to kill Muta wars and solve Protoss air OPness (as many Zergs thinks about it). Well, it works like a Bunker, with some differences - Spore Cannons throw banes into air, and only banes, and only to air. I think it can not be OP just because Banelings still cost some money, cargo capacity for Spore can be decreased to 2-4 Banelings. Banelings do bonus damage versus Mutalisk (light), so it really can solve problem of Mutalisk wars in ZvZ. To make it not so strong, maybe add expensive upgrade for Spore Crawlers at Hive? Also it can be nerfed in other term - Spore Crawler shoots 50% slower, when loaded with Banelings, so enemy will have time for reaction and retreating.

Remember, everything can be balanced:

• lower cargo size for Spores, so it can storage 2 or 4 Banelings
• or half fire speed when loaded with Banelings, so it will shoot every 2 seconds for example
• or add indication that Spore Crawler now storages Banelings to shoot, so enemy can react and retreat
• or slighty increase cost for Spore Crawlers
• or decrease HP for Spore Crawlers
• or lower Spore Crawler fire range by 1, when loaded with Banelings
• affects only air, like Spore - Banelings that were exploded in the air wouldn't damage ground units under it.





But really, it's just for fun, but still... it's really nice idea

I wonder if baneling speed increases the fire rate. I mean, banelings swirling in the air seem pretty damn cute :p

This can work with balancing the baneling dmg to air. Actually great idea i must say. In zvp muta vs phoenix wars you can't really rush in to the lines if the enemy has banelings but thats another investment for zerg to do. In zvt this won't have much of a use anyway. David Kim, i know you are reading this, seriously do it as a protoss user i really liked the idea and it will give zvz way more options.

I completely agree, it doesn't have to work the same way it does to the ground. The idea is great, it can be balanced with internal testing...

its a cool idea but ultimately an unneeded balance change...the whole point of the spore buff vs light is for dealing with muta wars and in zvp there are already numerous ways to deal with skytoss.
