Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.

Landing Soulbind on a Troll Warlord during his Battle Trance can stop a gank in its tracks, tethering him while his intended target escapes. A follow-up from Phantom's Embrace can be a real nuisance, applying a silence and forcing a reaction. The problem for Grimstroke is that Troll can dispel the phantom with his ultimate, and he's one of the most reliable Black King Bar carriers in the game. Once that item is up, Grimstroke has very few ways to peel for his allies or save himself. The game often comes down to whether Grimstroke’s team can exploit Troll Warlord’s pre-BKB timing window, making the outcome feel pretty neutral.
