How Broodmother and Magnus perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Broodmother and Magnus win 50.49% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 2,426 matches.
Giving Empower to a Broodmother with an army of spiders seems like a clear win, but in practice, these two heroes rarely want to be in the same place. Magnus is often looking to group with his team to find a fight-winning Reverse Polarity, usually far from where Broodmother is farming. Meanwhile, Broodmother thrives by creating pressure on her own, using her webs to control a lane and split the enemy's attention. This difference in game plan means Magnus frequently has better targets for his buff, and Broodmother doesn't offer the kind of setup or teamfight presence he needs to land his best spells, leaving their supposed combo feeling disconnected.
