Broodmother

Broodmother is a melee hero who is a notably powerful pusher. Her trademark spiderlings, as both an asset and a liability, define her play style. While a possible additional source of income, experience and lane pushes, spiderlings can easily feed opponents when not handled with deft micro and great awareness. As a result, it is easy to consider Broodmother a character for advanced players.

Basic Strategy

 * Broodmother's Spin Web knocks down all trees in the radius of the ability. Use this to gain critical early-game vision in the long lane by casting your first web on the first patch of trees past the river.
 * Going into a solo lane is a viable option for Broodmother as webs give her the survivability and the pushing power from the spiderlings can overwhelm a lane without need of her being babysat.
 * Soul Ring is a great item to have on her as the instant mana boost gives her the ability to spawn more spiderlings and the HP regen from the webs can cover for the loss of HP from the Soul ring
 * Going right into a Black King Bar is the best choice as the combo of magic immunity and the insane lifesteal from Insatiable hunger makes the broodmother a force to be reckoned with in a fight.
 * Casting Spin Web on top of an enemy tower makes it easy to dive in on weak heroes. The regen and movespeed bonus combined with Broodmother's slow is perfect for diving on heroes with no reliable escape or stun.

Trivia

 * In her original biography, it was stated that the Broodmother had a crush on Anub'arak The Nerubian Assassin
 * Broodmother's Fun/Alternate name was Broodmama.
