Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Troll Warlord wins the Troll Warlord vs Io matchup: Troll Warlord beats Io in 54.24% of 330 ranked matches.
Thinking you can save an ally from Troll Warlord with Io is a common mistake. The reality is that Troll is great at sticking to a target, even one tethered to Io. The slow from a ranged Whirling Axes prevents the pair from simply running away. If Troll Warlord gets on top of his target, he can switch to melee form and use the root from his other axes to lock them down completely. Should Io’s partner try to turn and fight, Battle Trance usually ensures Troll wins the trade by force. Io is also extremely fragile, making him an easy target to burst down if he gets caught out of position for a moment.
