    In my opinion yes very much..

    Rise

      Just played 2 Games, +4 poison Dmg is insane
      Crushed my lanes but still lost 1, I dont think Brood is OP, Especially against heroes that have ticking dmg (poison Radiance battle hunger etc.)

              semi-carry killer Brood is underwhelming

                I always though Brood was all about the threat of pushing towers, and creating space for your team by forcing everyone on the other team to gank you, rather than actually pushing.

                  Brood is definitely best used as a pusher, she has the mobility to be in any place at any time with BoTs and proper use of spiders. She can absolutely destroy towers with proper items (i hate seeing pusher broods go orchid). Items like necro 3, radiance, BoTs, manta, etc can really own towers.

                  The worst thing a brood can do is focus on one lane, which is unfortunately what happens in almost every pub i play with/against a brood. she should take out every tier 1 she can, the gold advantage is ridiculous and lets her push tier 2's much faster.

                  protip: deny your spiderlings with other spiderlings to create more spiderlings

                    Then why not just play BoT Lycan?

                    Wink

                      cuz brood is solo offlane, lycan is carry (generally in a trilane)

                          This brood isn't a threat it's always as super easy to kill her with early sentries. And she always has the same issue : she can't be used on two lane effectively because spiderling has 30 sec cooldown.

                            If the brood is an idiot there will be an easy kill. If she's not it'll be hard. All Broodmother has to do is to leech exp to get lvl 6, also with the orb nobody can 1v1 you. Aka, a support HAS to say in lane otherwise the carry won't be able to farm. When you get 6, you can even kill them easily depending on which heroes are there.

                              The Bitebuilds might win you lanes however Spiderbuild lets you farm regardless of who is in the lane. So if you are unable to approach the creepwave e.g. bite build is useless, Spiderbuild lets you farm. Some people are not aware that they can leave the level at low level if they so desire. For a large amount of time i left nuke at lvl 3

                              Also the buff is a rebalance however stronger in most aspects than the prior version

                                Brood just became viable again. =)

                                  ^she was never NOT viable. There is no hero in the pool which was ever ever not viable
