Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Troll Warlord wins the Slardar vs Troll Warlord matchup: Troll Warlord beats Slardar in 53.62% of 373 ranked matches.
Trying to go head-to-head with Troll Warlord as a physical damage core is often a losing battle. Slardar’s entire plan revolves around reducing armor with Corrosive Haze and bashing a target down, but Troll is uniquely equipped to handle this. Even if Slardar gets the jump, Troll Warlord can use Whirling Axes to apply a miss chance, cutting down the damage he takes. If things get dangerous, he can trigger Battle Trance to survive the initial burst. This buys him enough time to build Fervor stacks and turn the fight completely, making it very difficult for Slardar to finish the job before he gets overwhelmed himself.
