Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Broodmother wins the Broodmother vs Dark Willow matchup: Broodmother beats Dark Willow in 55.07% of 1,480 ranked matches.
Controlling a side of the map with webs forces Dark Willow's team into a defensive posture. Broodmother applies constant pressure with spiderlings that Willow struggles to clear efficiently. While Bedlam and Bramble Maze can handle a single wave of summons, Broodmother can simply make more, draining Dark Willow's mana and forcing her to use important teamfight spells on creeps. This isn't a completely one-sided fight, as a well-timed Cursed Crown or Shadow Realm can save Willow or turn a gank around. Still, Broodmother generally dictates the tempo, taking objectives and farming areas while Dark Willow is forced to react, which is not where she thrives.
