Brood mother weak? You gotta be kidding me. its one of the most usefull heroes if you can play it well.
Its not a all out bang your dead heroe, you have to time your kills and prey on the weak.
Well @Astelan, before I could say she was kind of strong, she wasn’t my main or anything but I knew that her meta was the only way to get any feed, and still she had the seccond worst win rate. But now I just don’t know what the heck I’m supposed to do.
And @Nappa, it’s not that I’m mad, is that such a little chance has making her web effect going out in ther momment she gets out. just ♥♥♥♥ed up every chance she had to farm and get any feed.
one key thing I find the problem with most people who start playing brood. is they are building her wrong. and I don’t know why they are doing it.
When I would play her in bot-games, I have exceptionally high scores, usually, I’ve had games with here where she’s gone 64-1, 54-1, 43-0, 20 and 30 to 0. I’ve also had games where there was 19 to 6 and such. But I’m usually the top kills, first blood maker, and in bot games, purchaser of divine rapier, then MKB or stun-hammer thingie/abyssal blade.
Keeping in Mind, these are my bot game tales, As this is where I can study Brood-players the most, I can’t study her easily if my enemy is her and I can’t keep my eye on how they play.
But back to the story.
I usually swamp with her.
I tend to mid lane unless someone else calls it, But it doesn’t affect the end-game score or purchase of rapier either, So its not because I’m mid that I do so well.
But when I watch a lot of others who play her. I see them purchasing things I’d never even consider purchasing with her.
I played this one game recently, where, without making any kills in the first three minutes.
The player who played brood Bought Iniital Animal Courier
Bought Health items and iron-branch stuffs (tangos/etc)
Bought mana pots, but no mana-regen buffs
at the 3 minute or so mark, bought Flying Courier, When again. Did not make first blood nor kills at this point.
Now. I won’t deny buying the hyper-disc whatever thingie that gives like 50attack speed, is good idea and all. But. Its not great on its own, and if you’re under-level, its practically useless.
I buy the silence staff though. Mana for lings and ult, Atk speed and damage for BM, silence for enemy heroes and I think it also boosts the damage taken by spells/abilities? hard to say on that part, don’t know my items well.
I don’t buy it right away now, just to be clear.
I mix and match my build priority.
I start with ring of bas (used to do soul ring, but that was just an early game deviation that stunted the growth of late game)
I focus on getting webs as first skill, of course, and placing them in a way that lets me quick escape, or gain a distance advantage to circle around and stop them from retretaing. Then Ling skill is next, of course, This is the – quickest – way to make last hit san dmoney as a bug.
As I make enough, All the mana and int parts of the Orchid staff thigny. Then, Vladimirs.
Upgrade that ring of bas into life-stealing hits, and buy boots of speed.
Finish Orchid, Finish boots of speed into travel, Start working on rapier, preventing towers from being pushed down by creep – stacks – (money money money), ambushing solo heroes.
It doesn’t work vs every hero of course, Counters to BM pose higher troubles obviously, but you just gotta make sure you level faster than them.
———————-
For Non bot matches like I said, You want to be more outside the main part of the lane you’re in
You want to be able to farm on those neutral creeps, or run out into the trees if things are getting dicey
Its real easy to pick off 1 spiderling as the army is starting, but its alot harder to start 4-6 of them from growing fast in lanes, and its alot harder to stop 20+ of them early game from clustereffin a hero and then brood swooping in for some incapitating bites.
Making sure of course that eitther YOU deward. or your lane buddy dewards. As that is the more – probable – answer to your demise for the enemy team than anything.
Dusted? Well ♥♥♥♥ son, get the ♥♥♥♥ outta there.
Get them into wasting money on both wards and dusts before they gem
When they more than likely first ward, Deward that ♥♥♥♥, and do like I said, swoop in for the stomp.
When they start dusting when you swoop in, keep sending in the army, but don’t swoop in, More than likely, They will dust expecting you to be oncoming, and you’ll just be farming neutral creeps for more lings, and then swooping in after they dust.
when they buy gems. Teamwork. You deny them ownership of that gem right outta their hands. and Use it to deward more wards if they try and recover after wasting the money for it.
IF they don’t do any of that, They are idiots :l Continue farming up an army and sending it in behind them and circling it around them to strike as many lings on them in “one hit” as possible, and then pull them away if you’re afraid of feeding them. Keep as few of the dying as possible, while dishing out as much damage in a hit as possible. if they pull back, They aren’t gaining exp, Job well done. If they don’t pull back, Teamwork, kill them, Job well done.
For facing brood. well.. this isn’t a thread for that, is it.
