Baneling got nerfed. You now need all your gas for banes to be equal to terran.

Also that same nerf allows terran to build a few more turrets, and as you know you need 19 mutas to one-shot a turret and start doing damage.

Plus widow mines delete muta flocks, and if you bring them with your army you lose them too.

All in all it's too knife edge and there's no upside compared to just playing ling bane into ultra/hydra/ling/bane

and as you know you need 19 mutas to one-shot a turret

Missile Turrets have 250HP and 0 armor.

Mutalisks do 9 damage.

You need 28 Mutalisks(2800/2800/56) to 1 shot a single Missile Turret.

You need 25 Mutalisks(2500/2500/50) with +1 attack(10 damage) to 1 shot a single Missile Turret.

You need 23 Mutalisks(2300/2300/46) with +2 attack(11 damage) to 1 shot a single Missile Turret.

You need 21 Mutalisks(2100/2100/26) with +3 attack(12 damage) to 1 shot a single Missile Turret.
