How Broodmother and Viper perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Broodmother and Viper win 49.15% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,768 matches.
Thinking of this as a dual-core pressure draft often proves to be a mistake. Both Broodmother and Viper excel at taking over a lane and suffocating an opponent, but they want the same kind of space and resources to do it. Broodmother wants to own an area with webs and farm aggressively with her spiders, while Viper wants to plant himself in a lane and deny farm with Nethertoxin. They don't amplify each other's game plan. Viper's slows are somewhat redundant for a Broodmother who can already run targets down, and the duo lacks the hard lockdown or teamfight control needed to deal with mobile lineups later. They end up playing separate games on the same team.
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.
