Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Troll Warlord wins the Troll Warlord vs Tusk matchup: Troll Warlord beats Tusk in 54.52% of 2,236 ranked matches.
Trying to burst down Troll Warlord is often a losing play for Tusk. The core of Tusk's kit is landing a big initiation with Snowball and then quickly eliminating a hero. Troll Warlord can simply press Battle Trance to survive the entire combo, making Tusk's go completely useless. Once the initiation is spent, Troll is free to run at Tusk or his allies. While Tusk can still offer some control with a well-placed Ice Shards or save a teammate with Snowball, this core interaction is difficult to overcome. The fight often depends on whether Troll has his ultimate ready for Tusk’s aggression, which gives him a noticeable, but not guaranteed, advantage.
