Putting Ion Shell on a spiderling to scout or harass sounds effective, but the reality is often less impressive. Those spiders are fragile, and opponents can easily kill the shelled unit, negating the play. Broodmother and Dark Seer can also find themselves competing for the same resources. Both heroes excel at pushing out a lane and farming the enemy's side of the map, which can lead to an awkward division of space where neither gets to fully execute their game plan. While a well-timed Surge from Dark Seer can help Broodmother secure a kill, their overall strategies don't always align, leading to very inconsistent results from game to game.
