If you had a bane nest and saw him morphing you could have made 10 banelings of your own. If he came in a clump you could have used 2-4 banelings to annihilate his entire force. If he comes spread out then you can snipe his banelings with a spine + 2 queens or roaches.

If you have none of these then you've done something wrong! Most likely just droning too hard without scouting to see what he was doing!

Hope this helps

Thanks PiG, that helped a lot! If I scout a Baneling Nest should I put down two spines for defense? I reacted to his blings with my own banelings, do you recommend doing that or using roaches to defend instead?

Either can work. The great thing about banelings is you can use them offensively to punish a greedy opponent very suddenly. Roaches on the other hand will have more utility later in the game but are slow early on.

As for using banelings to defend banelings it is VERY hard to micro bane vs bane defensively as if he comes in spread out you need twice his number of banelings to stop his attack. That being said that's why you use your queens and just 1 or possibly 2 spines and if he comes in spread out you can just snipe the banelings 1-2 at a time

So Attacking banes > defensive banes

Defensive banes + spine and queen > offensive banes
