Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Warlock wins the Broodmother vs Warlock matchup: Warlock beats Broodmother in 50.38% of 1,695 ranked matches.
Picking Warlock into Broodmother is a common response, but it isn't an automatic win. Warlock has solid tools for dealing with the spider army. Fatal Bonds can punish Broodmother for having lots of units, spreading any damage your team does across her and her Spiderlings. Upheaval is also a problem for her, creating a huge zone of slowing that can trap her and her swarm inside a web, making an escape or chase much harder. However, Warlock's spells have long cooldowns, and he's very vulnerable on his own. A smart Broodmother can play around these timings, baiting out his ultimate or simply killing him before he can get his spells off.
