How Broodmother and Spirit Breaker perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Broodmother and Spirit Breaker win 57.80% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 519 matches.
Controlling the map becomes much easier when these two are together. Broodmother naturally forces enemies to deal with her lane, as her spiders will take towers if left alone. This creates an opening for Spirit Breaker. He can use Charge of Darkness to either punish the heroes rotating to stop the push, or gank an entirely different lane that's now undermanned. Because Broodmother is so durable inside her webs, she can often buy the extra few seconds needed for Spirit Breaker to connect and turn a gank into a kill for your team.
This dynamic puts the enemy team in a bind during the mid-game. They either commit several heroes to hunt Broodmother, risking a numbers disadvantage elsewhere, or they cede a large section of the map and its farm to her. Trading objectives is also difficult, as Spirit Breaker's global presence means he can join any defense or counter-initiation. The opponent is constantly forced to react to your team's pressure, which makes it hard for them to establish their own game plan.
