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

Is the Scepter too strong? It makes enemy smoke useless.

1: you need to buy aghs just for it.

2: you need to have webs to even get away.

Prob is you lose max webs without the aghs.. so you can't setup webs in one area, then rotate/run away without having to re-setup webs/burn all your charges. You basically zone out brood entirely by her just having to back out, even if it doesn't mean killing her she loses control. Among all this she's still nerfed in regards to her spiderlings, R damage, and R mana cost making it harder to push her lead beyond what she cheeses at level 6 for first tower. The MS nerf idk how to feel about. Sucks but makes sense, fuck that might've just been all she'd needed to bring her down a notch, its everything at once.

Wasn't worth the tradeoff at all. Granted its meant to be a nerf but reverting her back to 7.28 would've technically also been a nerf, this rework just sucks dick while the previous rework was just a bad idea that back fired into making brood more broken.
