Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Vengeful Spirit wins the Troll Warlord vs Vengeful Spirit matchup: Vengeful Spirit beats Troll Warlord in 53.44% of 552 ranked matches.
Trying to lock down a kill during Battle Trance is the whole point of playing Troll Warlord. Vengeful Spirit directly undermines this with Nether Swap, which can either move Troll away from his target or teleport his target to safety. This often wastes the entire duration of his ultimate. Outside of that specific interaction, a simple Magic Missile can break his Fervor stacks, resetting his damage ramp-up at a bad moment. While Troll can certainly burst Vengeful Spirit down if he can get on top of her first, her ability to reposition key heroes makes it consistently difficult for him to execute his game plan.
