How Broodmother and Warlock perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Broodmother and Warlock win 49.53% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,704 matches.
Facing this pair can feel like you have no good options. Group up to stop Broodmother's relentless push and you risk a devastating Chaotic Offering from Warlock. Ignore her, and she’ll take your base. In practice, though, the two heroes can have conflicting goals. Warlock wants his team grouped up to follow his golem and get value from Fatal Bonds. Broodmother often wants to be on the other side of the map, creating pressure and playing her own game. She doesn't really need Warlock's slow teamfight setup to succeed, and he doesn't provide the kind of instant lockdown that helps her secure solo kills, leading to them playing separate games.
