Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Nyx Assassin wins the Nyx Assassin vs Troll Warlord matchup: Nyx Assassin beats Troll Warlord in 50.18% of 3,950 ranked matches.
Farming a lane against a missing Nyx Assassin feels like a test of reflexes. Nyx has all the tools to make a carry's life difficult, from the Vendetta burst to Mana Burn potentially preventing Troll Warlord from using his spells. The whole interaction hinges on a split-second decision. If Troll can activate Battle Trance before he dies, he completely turns the gank around and will almost certainly kill the Nyx. A well-timed Spiked Carapace can also backfire horribly for Troll, stunning him mid-attack. This back-and-forth makes their duels highly dependent on who acts first and who has better awareness, with neither hero having a guaranteed path to victory.
