DOTA 2 Playstyle - Broodmother

Personally, I'm the type of player that is equally comfortable in intense clashes, ambushing from d shadows for the kill or just spamming magic endlessly, provided I've got the feel for how that particular character is played.

That being said, my current favorite has to be Broodmother, Black Arachnia. I just love how the character can start from ambusher to full fledged tank later in the game with the right items.

I'll do a brief explanation of the skills below.

Skill 1 - Inject Spiderling

A ranged skill that deals decent damage. If used as a finisher, it instantly spawns a skill-level-based number of spiderlings from the corpse. Not only that, the spawned spiderlings has a passive ability that allows spiderites to spawn from any enemy they managed to infect before that enemy dies. Their slow is also a good method of taking down fast enemies. This skill is good to take down that fleeing hero with low hp, or it can be used to bolster your creep wave with sum expendable creeps.

Skill 2 - Spawn Web

My personal favorite. A stationary web is spawned at an area. The effects of the web is that it confers increased health regen and move speed to Broodmother the moment she enters the webs area of effect. Not only that, it also confers invisibility at a 3 sec delay fade time. It should be noted that the area coverage is large enough that you can harass and escape easily. Another bonus? The web also grants sight of the area it is spawned on until the web is removed. Meaning? Perpetual vision or the next thing to it anyway. The downside is that you're only allowed a certain number of webs capping at 8 at the max skill level.

Skill 3 - Poison
This skill is useful only if you have the capability to do massive and fast damage. It basically applies a debuff to enemies that slows their movements and also applies a chance to miss on attacks. Both movement speed and miss ratio are dependent on the skill level. With fast move and attack speed, you can chase down enemies and make them pay for their temerity in fighting you.
Note - It used to be that this skill has a damage per second effect, but it got taken out since that gave Broodmother too much an advantage in harassing attacks.

Skill 4 - Insatiable Hunger

Powers up Black Arachnia with massive damage and lifesteal attacks for the spell duration. For me, its only useful in situations where you have fast attack speeds to make full of the limited time duration. However, with enough attack speed and damage, you can turn Black Arachnia into a tank with this skil since the lifesteal will allow you to heal any damage taken.

Gameplay

For me, using this character makes me chooses the cowardly playstyle that strikes from the shadows for the kill. Hence, my first skill certainly Web and a Null Talisman as a starting item since I tend to spam skills for last hits.

Right after hero spawn and game starts, I'll head to my chosen lane, usually top or bottom coz I usually hate mid, and immediately spawn 2 webs at strategic sites that lets me monitor clashes from the shadows. For the first six levels, I'll just focus on taking last hits, denying and harassing. Whenever possible, I'll go for the kill, but thats rare unless the enemy is a noob or careless or my teammates are signaling a gank.
