Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Broodmother wins the Broodmother vs Pugna matchup: Broodmother beats Pugna in 52.03% of 1,826 ranked matches.
Seeing Pugna picked against Broodmother often suggests Nether Blast will solve the spider problem. While the blast is good for clearing clumped spiders, a smart Broodmother player spreads her army out to minimize the impact. The real dynamic is how vulnerable Pugna is. He's a slow, squishy hero, and if Broodmother finds him alone in her webs, he's an easy kill. Decrepify can save him from the physical damage, but he can still be body-blocked and overwhelmed. On the other hand, a well-positioned Pugna can defend towers effectively, and Life Drain becomes a real threat if Brood can't close the gap instantly. The fight usually depends on who gets the jump.
