Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Troll Warlord wins the Mars vs Troll Warlord matchup: Troll Warlord beats Mars in 53.37% of 1,810 ranked matches.
Struggling to keep up with map pressure is a common feeling for Mars in this matchup. Troll Warlord tends to farm faster and come online earlier, taking towers and Roshan while Mars is still trying to assemble his core items. The heart of the issue is that Arena of Blood doesn't solve the Troll problem; it often makes it worse. Trapping Troll Warlord inside the Arena gives him a contained space to use Battle Trance and tear through your team. He can't be bursted down and he can't be kited, turning Mars's best teamfight tool into a liability.
