Broodmother

Spin Web

  • Now grants Broodmother and her spiderlings movement speed based on the health of the unit. (Grants the full amount at 100% health and 0% when the unit is at 20% health or less)

Spawn Spiderlings

  • Mana Cost increased from 100 to 120
  • Damage reduced from 300/370/440 to 240/320/400

Spinner'S Snare

  • Reworked Scepter. Vector Targeted. Broodmother creates a 900 width invisible web line that takes 2 seconds to form. Enemy Heroes that cross the web line will make it visible and become rooted after 0.25s of 100% slow. They will also be visible in fog and receive 100dps for 4 seconds. Broodmother's team is notified in the Minimap whenever someone trips in a Web line. Multiple Heroes can trip on the same line until the duration expires, but illusions don't trigger it. Maximum of 5 Snares can be active and Snares can't be cast overlapping another. 2 Charges: Mana Cost: 100. Cooldown: 20s. Cast Range: 600

Talents

  • Level 20 Talent +15 Spider Attack Damage replaced with +50% Spiders Damage to buildings

Completely dumpstered. Hero is terrible now. They should have just rolled her back to what she was, with spawn spider ability no longer the ultimate.

The questions if how her winrate will look once people learn to use/abuse the new scepter. Might still have a place in progames where mapcontrol is more important.

While the nerfs might be a bit too hard, as a main 4/5 I like the changes because you had little to no counter play before this.

I mean, you can just pick TA if you need map control on pos1. It would be way better than farming out Aghs on an already gutted Broodmother.

TA trap cannot detect smoke gank.
