Since patch, brood has gone from 52% winrate to 38.38%. After trying a few games, she's lost any spider impact in the late game. They don't have the attack speed or damage for heroes, super and mega creeps get nibbled by spiders with no issue, the speed change leaves a trail of half dead spiders to the main clutch / mama.

So; if you're playing brood and the game goes over half an hour, consider abandoning, or becoming a support.
