How Broodmother and Tusk perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Broodmother and Tusk win 49.34% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,356 matches.
Setting up a gank with Ice Shards for a Broodmother sounds great on paper, but in practice, these heroes often want to play on different parts of the map. Tusk is a classic roamer, looking to create advantages across the lanes. Broodmother, on the other hand, prefers to establish her webs and completely dominate a single area of the map, suffocating one opponent by herself. While a Tusk rotation can help secure a kill, it often pulls him away from where he might be needed more. This pairing can feel a bit redundant as they both excel at running down a single target. The bigger issue is that if they fall behind, neither hero offers much to help defend high ground against a siege.
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.
