Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Troll Warlord wins the Storm Spirit vs Troll Warlord matchup: Troll Warlord beats Storm Spirit in 59.78% of 271 ranked matches.
Trying to jump a Troll Warlord is a nightmare for Storm Spirit. Troll can survive the initial burst by using Battle Trance, and once active, he's forced to attack the closest enemy. Since Storm needs to be near his target to use Electric Vortex, he often becomes that target himself. This is a fight Storm cannot win. Even if Storm tries to escape, Troll Warlord has a root from his ranged Whirling Axes to hold him in place. Without the ability to use Ball Lightning to reposition, Storm is left completely vulnerable to Troll's overwhelming physical damage and can't disengage from a fight he started.
