How Broodmother and Kez perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Broodmother and Kez win 43.66% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,269 matches.
Drafting both Broodmother and Kez on the same team creates a difficult strategic puzzle. Both heroes are self-sufficient cores who want to claim a part of the map and demand enemy attention. Broodmother achieves this by overwhelming lanes with her spiders, while Kez excels at isolating and dueling single targets. The problem is their game plans don't overlap in a helpful way. Kez's single-target focus provides little to help Broodmother's army survive or push, and her swarm can actually make it harder for him to find a clean duel. They end up playing separate games, forcing their supports to cover two fronts without the heroes themselves actually working together.
