How this matchup plays
You might think Ice Blast is a complete hard counter here, but it's not that simple. Getting hit by Ancient Apparition's ultimate is definitely bad news for Broodmother, since it shuts down all the healing that lets her sustain through fights. A well-placed blast can also shatter her whole spider army. The catch is that a good Broodmother is incredibly hard to hit. She's fast in her webs and can often see the ult coming and simply walk away. She can also play the map, forcing AA to use his global on her lane while her team fights elsewhere. It really depends on who initiates and when.
Ancient Apparition vs Broodmother by rank
How the matchup shifts across skill brackets — Ancient Apparition's win rate against Broodmother in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted.
