Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41f win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41f, Troll Warlord wins the Night Stalker vs Troll Warlord matchup: Troll Warlord beats Night Stalker in 54.41% of 10,930 ranked matches.
Trying to gank Troll Warlord, even at night, is a risky move for Night Stalker. Troll is naturally hard to burst, and if he activates Battle Trance before getting silenced, the fight flips completely. He becomes unslowable and can force an extended manfight that he's built to win, especially as his Fervor stacks build up. While Night Stalker’s silence can still be a problem if timed perfectly, Troll Warlord’s high armor and ability to keep hitting back makes him a frustrating target. The miss chance from Whirling Axes also cuts into Night Stalker's damage, making it difficult for him to secure a kill on his preferred timing.
