How Broodmother and Pugna perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Broodmother and Pugna win 51.28% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,176 matches.
Picking these two together often forces a choice between two different game plans. Broodmother wants to own a section of the map, pushing towers with her spiders and dealing physical damage. Pugna, on the other hand, excels in teamfights where his Nether Ward can punish casters and he can provide magical burst. This can leave the team feeling split. While Pugna can sometimes save Broodmother from physical attackers with a well-timed Decrepify, it also prevents her from fighting back against that target. The heroes don't naturally enable each other's core strategies, resulting in a game that can feel disjointed and dependent on the rest of the draft.
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.
