Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Broodmother wins the Broodmother vs Hoodwink matchup: Broodmother beats Hoodwink in 53.80% of 3,264 ranked matches.
Dealing with a swarm of spiderlings feels very different when Hoodwink is on the other team. Her Acorn Shot is a natural counter, bouncing between small units and clearing them out before they can become a problem. This makes it difficult for Broodmother to build up a critical mass. The tradeoff is that Hoodwink is fragile. If Broodmother can find a good moment to pounce, a full swarm with her own right-clicks can melt Hoodwink before she has a chance to Scurry away into the trees.
The matchup often becomes a game of controlling space near the treeline. Hoodwink wants to play from the safety of the trees to set up a Bushwhack stun, which can easily turn a fight around. Broodmother, however, prefers to dominate an area with her webs, forcing fights in open ground where Hoodwink's spells are less effective. A successful Broodmother game involves pushing Hoodwink out of position and away from her safe spots, while Hoodwink wins by patiently clearing spiders and waiting for the perfect stun to punish an overextension.
