How Chaos Knight and Troll Warlord perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Chaos Knight and Troll Warlord win 56.44% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,708 matches.
Focusing down a key enemy hero can feel a bit more certain with this duo. Chaos Knight's Chaos Bolt offers a long lockdown, giving Troll Warlord a clean window to activate Battle Trance and start hitting without being kited. The combined physical damage from both can overwhelm a single target before help arrives. The main challenge is that this strategy requires having two farm-intensive cores on the same team. Both Chaos Knight and Troll Warlord want to occupy the safest parts of the map to farm items. If the game state allows both to get what they need, they can present a dual threat, but they often compete for resources, which can leave the team vulnerable.
