Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Axe wins the Axe vs Broodmother matchup: Axe beats Broodmother in 52.85% of 14,519 ranked matches.
Taking over a part of the map with an army of spiders is Broodmother's entire plan, but this strategy completely backfires against Axe. His Counter Helix thrives on receiving many small attacks, and Broodmother's spiderlings provide them constantly. A well-timed Berserker's Call on the swarm and Broodmother herself forces them all to attack him, which means Axe will spin without end. This pure damage AoE not only kills the entire spider army but usually kills Broodmother along with them.
This dynamic makes the lane feel impossible for Broodmother, and it doesn't get better. Once Axe has a Blink Dagger, the whole map becomes unsafe for her. He can initiate from fog and instantly turn her push attempt into a disaster. Broodmother is forced to avoid using her spiders aggressively or must play on the opposite side of the map from Axe at all times, severely limiting her impact and giving his team free rein over objectives.
