Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Troll Warlord wins the Phoenix vs Troll Warlord matchup: Troll Warlord beats Phoenix in 50.45% of 2,317 ranked matches.
Fights for map control in the mid-game often hinge on a single cooldown. Phoenix can cripple Troll Warlord's damage output with Fire Spirits, massively slowing the attack speed he relies on to build stacks and tear through targets. This can make him ineffective for a crucial window. However, the matchup swings completely if Troll Warlord can activate his BKB and Battle Trance before getting hit. In that state, he's largely immune to the slow and can easily close the gap on Phoenix. The outcome also frequently depends on Supernova's placement; Troll has the raw attack speed to destroy the egg alone, but doing so often pulls him out of a critical position.
