How Broodmother and Queen of Pain perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Broodmother and Queen of Pain win 45.11% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,186 matches.
Pairing two aggressive, space-creating cores seems like it should overwhelm the enemy, but it rarely plays out that way. Broodmother wants to infest one specific part of the map, forcing enemies to come to her while she takes towers. Queen of Pain wants to be the one initiating fights all over the map, blinking in for kills with her magic burst. This fundamental conflict means they are often playing two separate games. A Queen of Pain gank doesn't help a Broodmother push, and Broodmother can't easily leave her web-covered territory to join a fight. This splits your team's focus and resources, leaving both heroes more vulnerable than they would be with a more complementary partner.
