Broodmother (BM, Arachnia) in Dota 2 7.41: win rate, pick rate, the heroes Broodmother counters and struggles against, and its best teammates — from recent ranked matches by Batru's AI win-prediction pipeline.
Broodmother is a snowball lane bully whose Spiderlings swarm and Spin Web grants her a near-untouchable home turf to push from. She dominates single-target, low-clear heroes: Arc Warden (58.2%), Nature's Prophet (57.6%) and Puck (56.7%) can't deal with her spider army. Broodmother is hard-countered by AoE clear and disable: Earthshaker (41.4%) and Axe (43.4%) erase her spiderlings, while Necrophos (42.2%) and Spirit Breaker (42.7%) out-sustain or run her down. Draft tip: Broodmother is a vicious early-push pick into low-AoE drafts; she's shut down by Earthshaker, Axe, and any team that clears her spiders.

Broodmother snowballs an early lane lead into a fast push — she wants partners who amplify her objective pressure and protect her spiders. She pairs best with push and AoE-lock cores: Wraith King (53.7%) and Techies (53.3%) reinforce her siege, while Dawnbreaker (53.2%) and Tidehunter (53.2%) provide the teamfight presence to back up her split push. Give Broodmother a team that snowballs her early map control and her spiders take towers before the enemy stabilizes.
