How Alchemist and Broodmother perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Alchemist and Broodmother win 47.99% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 921 matches.
Putting Alchemist and Broodmother on the same draft forces your team into a very specific, greedy game. Both heroes want to absorb huge amounts of resources to hit their timings and take over the map. Alchemist needs safe jungle camps to accelerate with Greevil's Greed, while Broodmother wants to completely control a lane and the surrounding area with her webs. This often means there isn't enough map space or support attention to get both of them started properly. If the enemy team identifies this and plays aggressively, it's common for one of the two cores to get shut down completely. The strategy relies on the opponent giving you space, which makes it an unreliable way to build a team.
How this pairing performs across skill brackets — the duo's team win rate in recent ranked matches, split by average match rank. Ranks with too few recent matches are omitted. These rows use the last 30 days of quality-filtered ranked matches, all patches in that span combined — a wider window than the patch-scoped count above, so the per-rank match totals can exceed it.
