How Broodmother and Grimstroke perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Broodmother and Grimstroke win 50.93% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,720 matches.
Locking two heroes together with Soulbind for Broodmother sounds better than it often plays out. Broodmother excels at creating her own pressure, picking off isolated targets, and forcing rotations by pushing a lane far away from her team. She wants to split the map and create chaos. Grimstroke, on the other hand, is at his best when the enemy team is grouped up for a five-on-five fight where his spells can hit multiple people. While a Phantom's Embrace can certainly help hold a target in place for the spiders, the two heroes are often trying to create completely different scenarios, leading to a disjointed game plan that doesn't always come together.
