How Broodmother and Lycan perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Broodmother and Lycan win 52.81% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 604 matches.
Having two heroes who want to dominate the enemy jungle often creates a conflict over farm. Both Broodmother and Lycan use their summons to clear camps and pressure lanes, building an economic lead to take objectives. When they are on the same team, they end up competing for the same limited resources on the map. This can starve one hero of gold, delaying key item timings needed to break high ground or take Roshan. Instead of presenting two separate threats, the strategy can become one-dimensional and resource-starved, leaving the team with one hero who is on-schedule and another who has fallen behind, making it easier for opponents to consolidate and respond.
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.
