Thinking you can swarm Bristleback with an army of spiders is a classic mistake that gets punished hard. Each one of Broodmother's spiderlings provides another target for Quill Spray, quickly ramping up stack damage on her and everything nearby. He doesn't need to focus Broodmother; she'll often die to the passive area damage that her own units amplify. This fundamentally breaks her game plan. She can't pressure him in lane with her usual methods, and he can eventually ignore her webs and run her down. Bristleback turns her greatest strength into a massive liability, making it extremely difficult for her to have any impact when he's on the map.
