How this matchup plays
Picking Shadow Demon against a potential Troll Warlord is often a losing bet before the lanes even start. So much of Shadow Demon's control relies on Demonic Purge, but the spell fails to remove Battle Trance, leaving Troll free to keep fighting. Using Disruption on an ulting Troll is even worse; it simply pauses the fight, giving his team time to reposition and protect him when he comes out. The resulting illusions are strong, but not strong enough to handle the real, unkillable hero. Meanwhile, Troll Warlord sees Shadow Demon as a priority target he can easily run down and kill. This core conflict means they don't play well as allies either.
