Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Troll Warlord wins the Bane vs Troll Warlord matchup: Troll Warlord beats Bane in 52.87% of 1,604 ranked matches.
Controlling a rampaging Troll Warlord is precisely what Bane is designed to do. Fiend's Grip provides a long-duration disable that can hold Troll in place for your team to kill, completely stopping his momentum. The trade-off is that Troll has ways to play around this. A well-timed Black King Bar will prevent Bane from casting his ultimate entirely. Even without it, if Troll can activate Battle Trance before getting locked down, the massive lifesteal can sometimes be enough for him to survive the incoming damage. The matchup often hinges on which hero acts first and whether key items are available, making the outcome of any given fight difficult to predict.
