Why this works
You might think setting up kills for Broodmother with Disruption would be effective, but it often works against her. A well-timed Disruption can accidentally save an enemy from her spiderling swarm, giving them a crucial window to escape or get help. Broodmother is also a solo hero who wants to control a part of the map by herself. Shadow Demon's save-oriented, teamfight-focused kit means he is usually needed elsewhere, leaving both heroes playing separate games. Granted, not a lot of teams are running this combination right now.
