How Broodmother and Riki perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Broodmother and Riki win 53.46% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,270 matches.
Pairing Broodmother with Riki creates two independent threats that can pressure the map simultaneously. Broodmother can tie up heroes in one lane with her spiders, opening up the rest of the map for Riki to find solo kills under Smoke Screen. This forces the enemy team to split their resources and attention, which can be effective. However, their game plans don't overlap much beyond that. Broodmother wants to build a nest and control territory, while Riki is a roamer. They don't provide strong lane support for each other or offer powerful teamfight combinations. The result is often two heroes playing their own game on the same map, which neither helps nor hurts their chances significantly.
