How Beastmaster and Troll Warlord perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Beastmaster and Troll Warlord win 48.38% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,108 matches.
Setting up a Primal Roar for Troll Warlord gives him a perfect window to build Fervor stacks on a single target. Beastmaster’s Inner Beast aura adds to this, creating a hero with immense attack speed for a short duration. The issue is that this strategy commits two cores to killing one hero with physical damage. This makes your team’s plan predictable and easy to counter. An enemy with a simple save item like a Ghost Scepter or Force Staff can nullify the entire combo. Because both heroes lack significant magic damage, opponents can also build armor to reduce the effectiveness of your two main damage dealers, making it hard to close out games.
