Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Troll Warlord wins the Ringmaster vs Troll Warlord matchup: Troll Warlord beats Ringmaster in 52.93% of 1,878 ranked matches.
Seeing Ringmaster’s control spells and assuming he can kite Troll Warlord indefinitely is a common mistake. The reality is that Troll is built to endure the initial lockdown and then turn a fight with Battle Trance. Ringmaster’s hypnotic effects and traps can definitely reposition Troll or hold him in place, buying time for his team. However, they don’t prevent Troll Warlord from activating his ultimate. Once he does, the lifesteal is usually enough to recover from whatever damage he took while disabled. The fight boils down to whether Ringmaster’s team can finish Troll off during that window; often, he survives and makes an easy meal of a fragile support.
