How Broodmother and Mars perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Broodmother and Mars win 48.54% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,030 matches.
Putting Mars's Arena of Blood on top of a single target for Broodmother's spiders sounds effective, but it rarely plays out that way. The core issue is that these heroes want to play on different parts of the map. Broodmother creates immense pressure by living in a lane, constantly pushing with her webs and spiderlings. Mars, on the other hand, wants to group with his team to force fights around his ultimate. If Broodmother rotates to join an Arena fight, she abandons her own pressure and is significantly weaker outside her web network. If she stays in her lane, Mars is fighting without a key core. They fundamentally pull their team in two opposite directions, leading to disjointed games.
