Picking a slippery spellcaster against Troll Warlord creates a fundamental problem for your draft. Puck wants to dictate the pace of a fight with Waning Rift and Dream Coil, but Troll's kit seems designed to ignore all of that. He can cast Battle Trance to purge off the silence, then run straight at his target. A committed Troll Warlord will often break the Dream Coil leash on purpose, knowing he can't die and will kill Puck long before the stun matters. Once Troll gets on top of Puck, the fight is over. This basic conflict in timing also explains why they make poor allies: Puck wants to control and extend fights, whereas Troll is built to end them immediately.
