Everything can be balanced but it is not good idea to change many things with one patch. Blizz doesn't like that and won't do that.

Could you really look into the eyes of those innocent banelings and tell them to get into that thing to start a trip of no return? You ruthless person. Their happy laughs will be the last thing you hear. Could you really live with this?

Loading banelings is for amateurs. Load an Ultralisk.

Taking out Battlecruisers with launched Ultras. The new meta.

I think its actually a good idea. It takes some extra apm to make banelings, load them and keep the proper spore crawlers loaded for muta. I think it's cool to see how pro's would handle enemy mass muta.

The downside is that although muta wars will be gone - they will make muta's underused as well in ZvZ. The solution needs to be more elegant.
Comparing BW with SCII is like comparing a beautiful three-master sailing ship with a modern battlecruiser. Both are beautiful in their own way, both perform the same task, but they are worlds apart in how they are built and how they are steered.

I always thought the spore should have a small AoE associated with it. Something like 25% damage in a small area, something small enough that you could magic box around. Maybe nerf the primary hit's damage. Would deal with mutas and phoenixes nicely without being impossible to navigate around.

This, and the fact that all of TL will hate you for closing it! :D

I would really want to see this in a test balance map. My question though, is this something you upgrade sporecrawler into, is it just the normal standard spore crawler that get an upgraded attack while the baneling is in it?
Or is it a seperate building with no attacks without banelings being inside them??
Hell, it's about time

That looks so cool.. but would be so imbalanced T_T

Everything can be balanced:

• or 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

no it cant

It can be a Hive-upgrade for Spore crawler, or just by default, but with other penalties, like lower fire speed when banes are loaded in or something from list above

no it cant

Explain, why?

No, seriously, entirely seriously, guys, this could be balanced well and put in the game. Like widow mines it can sometimes backfire - like you saw one spore was killed and all banelings inside are instantly dead with it, which is a huge loss. Depending on cargo space and speed of load/unload, depending on air damage of banelings which could have different radius and values; depending on speed and range of fire of spore cannons compared to just spores, this could be made not overpowered at all.

Lol this is realy cool.
There is a bug though, the void rays and mutas dont target the banelings when they are airborne while they are the closest target.
