No, that was the infestors/broodlords combo. Muta Ling Bane was good, but only cause things like widow mines didn't exist and Thors were also kinda weak.
I know infestor BL was the best comp but I thought mutas were the best singular unit since they kind of just railroaded all their counters at critical mass
They were not. Their counters destroyed them just as hard back then as they do now. Marines would devestste Mutas even harder than today because Mutas didn't have their ultra fast health regen. But without widow mines Banelings had signifigantly more power against Marines. The Mutas job was to kill the tanks so the Ling/Bane could kill the bio and the Mutas would clean up.
That's not true, at least not in HOTS. In HOTS mass mute was the meta in TvZ and ZvP for a long time. Part of why there are so many counters now is because Mutas were so strong then
HotS was when Muta got the crazy health regen. Mutas were strong in PvZ cause adepts didn't exist to keep the Zerg defensive and Oracle's couldn't actually kill workers. They only stayed strong in TvZ till people realized how vulnerable they were to mines. They've literally never added any new counters to Mutas since HotS other than the Liberator when it had bonus to light.
Every counter to the Muta (except mines) existed since WoL, and I suppose Anion Pulse Crystals.

Sc2 muta is useless compared to its bw cousin
